California truck ?Final model year for seventh-generation F-series

this color combination; only 147 of those were ordered with the XLT
Lariat package ?460 CID V-8 engine (code L) with four-barrel

?Air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, tilt steering

bed, 155-inch wheelbase and 8,800 GVWR After more than 10 model
years leading the pickup sales chart, Ford was not about to
surrender its crown for 1986. This all-original ?Bull Nose? truck
spent most of its life in dry, sunny, southern California. It is
highly optioned with rarely-seen colors. Ordered in September 1985
then made two months later in Ford?s Claycomo, Missouri factory,
this truck was delivered that November to Rodman Ford in Foxboro,
Massachusetts. Out of roughly a million F-series trucks built in
1986, this example is one of only 401 painted in this color
combination; and of those, one of 147 ordered with the
top-of-the-line XLT Lariat package. Shortly after taking possession
of it in 1985, the original owner moved to dry and sunny southern
California. This truck has spent most of its life there. Along with
the best mechanical options, rare colors and top-of-the-line trim
options, this truck was also ordered with the Convenience Group and
Handling Package. The truck?s windows were also tinted while in the
Golden State, which preserved the interior, especially the
crack-free dash. The original Dark Canyon Red paint (code 51) and
Medium Silver Metallic (code 1G) trim are in satisfactory order,
while the body is straight and solid. The engine bay is good,
original condition and the chrome front and rear corrugated bumpers
look good and fit tightly to the body. This truck rolls on
Thunderer Ranger A/T light truck tires, size 265/75R16 at every
corner. The tires are in very good order and are mounted on steel
wheels with white rings and chrome center caps. The wheel covers
are in good, original shape and lend a business air to the truck?s
appearance. It has an eight-foot cargo bed, a 155-inch wheelbase
and a 8,800 GVWR. The truck was ordered with a 460 CID V-8 engine
(code L) with a four-barrel carburetor, part of Ford?s 385 series
engines. This motor is backed by a Borg-Warner T-19 four-speed
manual transmission (code P) putting power to a Sterling 10.25 rear
axle with Traction-Lok and a 3.55:1 rear end (code C9). The first
version of the 10.25 axle is colloquially known as ?short
pinion-yoke.? Up front, the F-250 used an eight-lug version of the
Dana 44 Twin Traction Beam (TTB), called the Dana 44 TTBHD. Driver
convenience features include air-conditioning, cruise control,
power steering, power brakes and a sliding rear window. Inside, the
truck has an all-original interior and is in done in Canyon Red
(code KD) with a cloth bench seat followed by a vinyl, full-width,
fold-down jump seat. The interior is all original and in great
shape, no rips, no cracks, no holes. When stowed out of the way,
there is almost another 30 cubic feet available for storage. The
bench seat is satisfactory while the jump seat looks great. The red
carpet and headliner are in similar shape, as does the Ford
two-spoke steering wheel with its woodgrain trim. The dashboard
looks fine, has its own set of woodgrain inserts and comes complete
with full instrumentation, including a factory tachometer but the
fuel gauge is inoperable. A floor-mounted shift lever and a Pioneer
AM/FM stereo with CD player complete the interior. For 1986, the
F-Series saw few substantial changes. To streamline production, all
vehicles received a full set of instruments (with only the
tachometer remaining optional). Two-tone paint options were
revised, as Ford deleted options that painted the roof and/or cab
with the accent color. To simplify ordering and production,
Preferred Equipment Packages were paired directly with trim levels,
reducing the number of distinct options; traditional stand-alone
option packages remained in place. If you?re looking for a
comfortable and capable hauler, you couldn?t go wrong with this
Ford F-250. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and check it out
