and there is an awful lot of rust around the tag area on the "B" pillar for such a "clean" truck.

that is the original vin tag what your seeing is the film that went around it that had the build day, month, and year and a few other small details about the trucks. All trucks came with them but over the years they have fallen off to where thy aren’t noticeable anymore. And for being in Florida that probably is a clean truck for being 34 years old.

Leroy he could be using filters on his pictures, he's asking $25k not $12k, I don’t think the truck has been repainted, I think what your seeing on the wiper motor is a reflection from the sun and the coating on the metal housing only because the shades are different and it's way to shiny compared to everything else, and if it was over spray how come nothing else is tan I'm the engine bay along the seams.

The truck is relisted, here is the original listing.

The listing you're looking for has ended.

1985 Ford F-350 24k Original Miles Diesel 4-Speed mint original

Condition: Used

Ended: Jan 03, 2019, 04:35:11 PM PST

Price: US $25,000.00

When I clicked on the link yesterday I was surprised to see it down the $12K.

Leroy, I thought you were going over to the dark side??? Dumping the Ford for a "Brodie" what ever that is.
Though a picture of a shove it or leave it lay. LOL

the 12 grand was the starting price on the auction, and that was not the reserve either.
the 25 was the buy it now price.

I'm calling the dealership daily, I DEMAND 24" spinners with 1" low profile tires and many many more LED'S as a stock option..

They say they're working on it.

99. 6% sure this rig has fresh paint - here and there.. I'm retired from production paint and body work.

Single stage paint is easy to cut and blend to look like nothing is repainted, and almost nothing goes 30some years without needing some paint. The firewall and battery cables show over spray, though not nasty diy overspray. Though not impossible that it was garaged and waxed yearly and only needed minor corrections, not saying it's bad, looks good..

Sad to say but on my '94, I've replaced almost everything under the hood, the entire front and rear suspension, steering, new fuel tanks plus pumps, but that was just because I fell in love with that big blue *******. I've spent close to $11,000 on it all. The new Jasper engine and turbo were the most costly but definitely the most needed as well.
