I'll post some pics later, but it is nearly identical to slick66's . . . except not in nearly as good condition.
Hey Dane, don't refrain, drive that 83 again!

I have a 89 f150 and love the truck except for the front end hate those headlights. Would love to have the front end of the early 80's. I know the doghouse off of the early 90's will fit but I still like the early 80's better

Thats funny you mention that, Im the exact opposite, I like the later 80's front ends better.

To each their own though, they are both cool!

Does it have the three speed over-drive like my truck? (P-R-N-O-D-1)

Often wished I had a different transmission, either a regular three speed or a four speed OD.
