How Rare?

How rare is a 1985 F150 XLT Lariat 4X4 stepside? Anyone have an idea?

I have only seen one stepside 4x4, and that is mine, which was a 4x2 when i bought it.

I'm just wondering if I have stumbled across something pretty rare. I looked up NADA to get a ballpark value and looked in the classic vehicles section and it doesn't even list a stepside for 1985.

The Flareside trucks are quite rare, as Ford made very few of them. Since yours is a XLT Lariat, that makes it more desirable as collectors' item. The 2007 edition of the Collector Car price guide lists the price for a '85 F150 flareside at $6500 in excellent condition.
