Now that is a clean looking bull nose! I'm looking at an 86 tomorrow and I've been thinking about what color to paint it, and I'm really digging yours. Looks like the Arizona Beige from the Super Duties.

Wow Oldblue, that is one sharp looking extended cab bull nose. Did you fix it up yourself or has somebody just taken extremely good car of it?

Heres a couple pics of my 84 IDI when I first bought it last August, and a couple more recent pics, interior, bodywork etc.






My 88 Bronco on the left, and the Diesel on the right, Opposites in just about every way lol.


Conversion van seats installed by the PO, Im planning on replacing them. very confortable, but not installed the best,


Dash is in great shape, other than the typical center speaker grille punched out. But never seen a dash clock like mine, Red LCD, seems factory.


This is where I mounted my Eqquis gauges. The SunPros that the PO had mounted above the radio had a leaky oil gauge, oil was in the radio, on the carpet, shifter and all in the dash

She should be rolling again soon, working on replacing the injectors and rebuilding the Injection Pump, along with a pyro and tach, clearance lights, and im building it in a hotrod/ratrod theme. side-pipes, not stacks lol

I've done all the work on the old girl. I've had her for over 20 years and I've always kept her somewhat decent looking, but last summer I did a freshen up so this is the best she has ever looked. More photos coming.

Looks like a really good buy for $800. Would have trouble touching that for almost twice the price around here.

dldjeep, you listed your truck as being a 1986, but the emblems are from a 1980-1981, and the mirrors are from a 1980-1982.

Not only that, the two-tone is in the style of the 1980-1984 trucks, not a 1985-1986.

Is it really an 86, or is it a 1980-1981?

You have done an excellent job on your truck! Keep it up and make sure to post those photos.

Gave my F150 a rinse to get the pollen off of her, and decided to take a picture.
