Yeah it was a lot of fun.. Right after I put the lift on, I thought that I had wasted my money because i really didn't do too much as far as offroading goes. Then I took the truck out here and did things I didn't think it would do. Oh yeah, and my friend has a chebby, so I told him to see if it could handle it... He ended up breaking off his running boards on the first climb!!

Crawl under your truck to see if you have like massive holes drilled all the way down from like the door to the rear wheel on the frame.

There are a few holes, there are ones mostly near the front, and back, but I thought they were for hooking tow ropes to to get other people out. The holes in front and back are kind of oblong and like an inch tall, and alittle longer wide. other than that, there are just a few small round holes.

I think the swiss cheese frame ended in 81.5 models.
My 81 F-150 has the swiss cheese frame.
JPJahn: What package does your truck have to have those stripes down the side of your truck? Free Wheeling? Curious
Nice truck,

Well I don't have a brochure for a 1985, but my 1981 Brochure may help...

look at picture #6. The picture shows 1981 Freewheeling packages A and B and the optional stripes that came with it. No doubt changed by 1985, etc... but may be worth a look.
