Here is one of my other trucks I owned from 02-07. It is a 86' F150 stepside, 300-6 SROD style 3 speed with overdrive, 4x4, and her name was Little Red Enjoy!




Sorry for the less than stellar photo quality. Pictures were taken with an actual camera and developed. Remember how long that took?

Here is a 85' with a 300-6, 4x4, np435 that I literally rolled the rusty body off and put my body on and welded my old box sides on from my 85' after I did my frame off. I flipped it and made a few bucks and got rid of my old body parts that i was not going to use in process. Entire body swap took 18 days. BOOM Enjoy


Again sorry for less than stellar photo quality

Down side is I cant find theses so I have to wait till someone reproduces them. Or pay to have someone paint them on instead which could be more costly.
It seems that pinstriping is getting harder to find nowadays,according to the guys at the sticker shop where I got close but not exact original pinstripes to break the colors on my truck,i wish someone would start reproducing all the different stripes that came on these trucks,it would make life easier for those who like to stay as original as possible

I hope someone does. I saw a post on here where someone is starting off with a few of the decals these trucks and broncos had and then hope to expand to getting phoenix graphics to reproduce the other body decals down the road.


I really hope so cause I got some generic striping from Autozone years ago for the tail gate when I repainted it that junk is peeling off where the factory pinstriping decals are still on the truck.

Thanks GIGGER! Yes Little Red was in decent shape and so was the gray one. Both had cab corners replaced and the gray one had rear wheel arches replaced. Paint quality was nicer on Little Red than the gray one but the gray one still looked nice but the body didn't make the cut in 2005 for my frame off resto so it was set aside and used on another 85' which you see here where it is for sale in my driveway

My black 1985 show truck with 35's and triple double roll bar i posted a while back is the 2 tone truck back in 1987 when my dad, the original owner had it. The second picture is from June 1995 when i had my high school senior pictures taken and still sporting the 300-6 . I had just had cab corners and rear wheel arches replaced and a complete paint job 3 months prior. 1994/1995 was the last winter my 85' saw and the only one I ran it threw ever. I worked my butt off for different fat wheels & tires, roll bar, visor and body job. It was not show quality but it was nice and all i could afford @ the time. Life was simple and good back then

Never once in my life have I dressed like that lol. I'm usually wearing worn out clothes or dressed like a construction worker.

I just pulled this one owner '81 from the owner's grandson's backyard. It had been sitting for years and is now serving DD duty while I build an engine for the 250.

Inherited an '83 F100 stepside

Here is my '83 F100 I inherited from my father in law who recently passed after a year long battle with bone marrow cancer. I don't know much about the truck except it has a really good 351W and 3speed auto with some sort of shift kit. The interior needs to be fixed up a little, the driver door shuts but rattles like crazy, it will need new door cards, sterring column and other interior bits.










I also have a 99 F350 XLT CC LWB SRW 4x4
