About the 1980–1986 Ford F-150
from the generation archive
The 1980–1986 Bullnose F-150 might be one of the most capable old-school trucks ever built, and the builds here prove it — from rigs buried axle-deep in mud and sand to lifted, camo-wrapped trucks sitting tall in rural settings and red runners kicking up dust on rocky off-road courses. You'll also find garage projects with hoods popped open, worn interiors showing decades of hard use, and trucks powering through nighttime trails on nothing but headlights and guts.
The story
I bought this truck off a used car lot to find out later it was a junk yard special. When the engine went out in it I had two choices rebuild the pi or put the engine in the basement with over 3 grand invested ( engine was on engine stand just sitting there) — 72torinolover
