Baker, Welcome to FTE happy to have you here.
Tell us a little about the truck and your self if you want.
Guessing that nice looking truck & you are in TX based on the plate?
Also guessing it has a v8 as it looks like a tach I see in the center of the gauge cluster? I don't think too many if any of the sixs came with a tach?
What are the plans and you need help fixing on the truck?

Its a 1986 F150 4x2 with the 4.9l inline 6 and yes I am in Texas. I found the truck on facebook from a guy down in Rosenburg, TX.
He told me the truck was his Uncles and he had bought it brand new in 86 and in the late 90's he got sick and the truck sat in the garage for about 15 years until the uncle
died and left him the truck. There is one dent on the truck and that's on the hood and couple of your normal rust spots.
I have a buddie that has the same year truck but his the XL or XLT and his doesn't have the tach which we thought was a little strange. The truck has roughly a 171 thousand miles
and I couple of leaks like the oil pan where the guy I bought it from tried to stop the leak and tightened the bolts to much and squeezed the gasket out and the steering gear box is leaking.

That's a nice looking truck 
To my knowledge, the tach came with the Sports Instrumentation package, which also included the oil and amp gauge instead of the idiot lights, and could be ordered on any model. The oil and amp gauge could also be ordered without the tach.
