I just bought an 85 Bullnose F150 with the 5.0, 4x4, and the 4-speed manual. I'm new to these trucks and am completely open to suggestions. Oh, and its an EFI truck. I dont know much about its history, as it disappeared after being driven off the lot until the guy I bought it from had it titled in 2025. All I know about it is that it was bought in April of "85 somewhere in West Virginia, and by the time I got it, it was in Minnesota.
Anyways, Im Caleb, I'm 24, and I have wanted a bullnose since I was 14. I finally got it, and I paid $760 for it. Its got a squishy clutch, rust, an unstable idle, and brakes that are almost non existent (did I mention the rust?) I love it though and hope to be able to give her the love she deserves. So in theme with the vehicles I have now, (I also have a 98 Explorer I named Dora) Everyone, Meet Boots, the 1985 Ford F150 302 EFI 4x4 4-Speed Rust Mobile!
