I have a 82 F100 Explorer edition. It has a V6 and the truck has 21000 actual miles on it. The truck was given to me from my brother. I am in the middle of changing all the fluids, brakes, shocks and anything that has not been touched in all the years. The bad is I need to repair the driver door and need a driver bed side.

F100_82 - Looks like we are in the minority with '82 Explorers.
All - I'm looking for info on what the colors were in the tape stripes on the '82 Explorer. Understand that they varied from year to year, but would really like to know about '82 since I'm hoping to have the stripes reproduced for mine.

poll seems to be closed. But, I have a white 82 f100 explorer with dark blue on the bottom, around the windows, and multi-blue explorer stripes. 3.8V6, 3spd w/overdrive, 8ft bed, black dash trim, A/C, and color coded floormat. just crossed over 50,000 original miles last week.

I just bought a 1981 custom f100 explorer. Looks to be the lowest level explorer package. I will be converting the truck to a standard custom f100 if anyone is interested in the emblems hood ornament and possibly the seat because I'd like to go with the brown vinyl that would have been in a standard f100 custom.

A 1977 F150 Explorer pkg.
I had posted earlier about this truck and recently scanned this image from some old slides. I believe this was one of the prettiest Ford trucks ever built, but then I guess I'm a little opinionated. I received more compliments on this truck than I did on most of the cars I've owned ... and I had some pretty nice ones.
The 302, three speed and 3.55 gears rolling L78-15's was NOT a winning combination. At the time we had a Dodge Aspen wagon, 318 V8 with a four speed (three/OD) manual transmission. It handled my boat better than the truck did! Sold it when I got a bigger, badder company truck that I could use for personal use also.
