New to me, 85 F250

Hello all,

I am the new owner of a 85 Ford F250. It was given to me! I noticed it in the drive way of a friend and asked him about it and he said the only thing wrong with it is the drive shaft needs to be reconnected. He is missing te U joint straps, so I need to pick some up this afternoon. And it is a cold starter. Other than that it seems to be a decent truck. A little rust but seems to be solid.

The full specs are (I think) 85 F250 extended cab with a beefy front bumper and a tow hitch. 2 tone blue. Not sure if it is an XL or what but I am eager to clean it up and drive it.

It brings back good memories of high school. I drove a 76 f150 extended cab, metalic green pickup back then.

I will post some pics as soon as I take possession.

Rick
