Nice Truck! What I would give to have that engine/tranny combo in my 86, just can't kill those old six bangers.

I Like that 4bt, something to keep in mind for when my tired 5.0 takes its final breath which I fear will be sooner then later. Was it a pretty straight forward swap fitment wise? Availability of...
Very nice! Heres my bull nose as it sits with my new emblem courtesy of japerry.

Beautiful Bull nose! And being put to good use! Any info on that bed? Thats what I'm looking to do with mine here in the near future as my bed is quickly rotting away.
Hmm, maybe it's worth looking into the first gen I found then. It seems like unmolested first gens are pretty hard to come by so I don't want to pass this one up.
p.s. I like the van ladder racks...
Thanks for the info and fast replys. I think I will focus my search on a 2nd Gen then, as I would like to maintain the factory suspension.
Alright, so right before I decided to sell my truck I went out and got a brand new set of 33x10.5x15 BFG AT's for it. I would like to keep the tires for my next vehicle seeing as there are less then...
Alright, seeing everyone else enjoying there rigs on the forum has given me the drive to get mine back into shape. Its currently sitting collecting dust waiting on some TLC but here's how she looked...
Well, my plans for after high school have changed due to me not liking the location of the tech school I was going to attend. So after much thinking and soul searching I have decided to throw all...
Been a while sense I have posted up here but have been wicked busy with rapping up my last year of school. All I have gotten done on the truck lately is painting the grill and removing the cap until...
Dennis, Thanks for the info on the radius arms, I will avoid the lengthened ones for now. I don't see risking drive-ability for a little extra tire clearance. I am going to check with my uncle...
I have an issue with the new 33's rubbing my radius arms on tight turns and really don't want to destroy the tires due to it. I have gotten used to driving it on the street without cranking the...
So, my mother apparently listens to my constant rambling on about trucks because today she surprised me with an early graduation gift. A set of 33x10.5x15 BFG All Terrains, she even ordered the right...
Came across a fiberglass cap entangled in some weeds, the owner let me have it for free! It has one crack I need to fix, rear window needs to go back in, and it could use a rattle can treatment. But...
Does anyone know if a 32x11.5x15 would fit at stock ride height?
I had some parts lying around from my 79' so I decided to put them in the 86' out of boredom....
Haven't had a chance to do any work on my truck lately as I have been helping a friend with a Cj7 build, but I did pick up this little beauty to accompany me on my trips. The full size 9mm. I had...
I decided to scrap the idea of putting a cap on the truck and building a storage system for now. As of right now I need the bed usable for work and that limits what I do to it. I'm going to get a...
Thats a lot to ponder. My original plan was to try and do things as budget minded as possible, but then again I would rather spend a little extra and not regret the sacrifice in performance had I...
Has anyone had any experience with retreads from a company such as treadwright? The tread patterns look close to other proven designs and the pricing is super low. I might have to try a set out, Im...
Buliwyf, Any idea what the max tire size I could go with is without lifting? The more research I have done on the TTB setups, I too would like to avoid lifting it. Thanks.
The reason I'm partial...
Yes its gas, and it has the 5.0 in it. Someday I might swap it out for the 4.9 i6, but that won't happen until the original craps the bed.
Having a hard time locating a camper shell for it, seems...
Had to take a step in the wrong direction yesterday with the truck and fix the previous owners screw up, must be he replaced the thermostat and didn't have a gasket so he used rtv. It started...
Hi, my names Brandon and I'm new to the forum. My plan is to take my stock 86' F150 and modify it to carry me comfortably on my adventures, my love for fishing, hunting, and camping often places me...
