Definitely not a Pontiac
Thought you might like to see my new toy. 85 F150 with 45k miles. Clean as a whistle

Boy, that is clean! I have an '85 F250 that I just got running finally yesterday, but it sure ain't that clean! That interior is fantastic!

Red velour. It doesn't get any more 80s than that.
302 or 351? Nice, 3 pedals! |

I once had a 85 Ford. Slightly different. Was a non turbo diesel and a gutless pig but filled the roll it was built for until the brakes went out and had to nose it into a retaining wall to stop it.

Beautiful old Ford!
Since we're sharing pics of our old Fords, here's a pic of my 94:

These square body fords are really gaining popularity.
I used to hate red velour interior.... now I think it’s awesome. |

Ford advertised their pickups back in the day to get 20 MPG, with that particular engine. Yours may not do as well, being a heavier weighing 1/2 ton.
We had a 1980 F100 at the parts store that I worked at. Had AC, PB, PS, standard cab, 8' bed, had the 300 6 banger with a C6 trans. MPG was not even close to 20. For some reason it had the large case higher amp alternator on it. You had to keep the alt belt way tighter that I thought necessary to make the alt function properly. Hope yours works out to what you desire. I have a 85 F150XL, it's my trash truck. It has the 351HO engine, and it IS a HO, you fill up the oil and check the gas, Someday I will drive it to the scrap/recycling place and leave the whole thing with them!!!

That's a super nice truck, what an interior. Plus, you can change the spark plugs without removing the heads like those 3-valve Tritons. Hard to beat the 300-6. Ah, the good old days.

I have an 84F150. Had 94000 original when I bought it 5 years ago. Now has 114,000. No where even close to looking like yours!

Nice truck! Had a 1984 van with the 300 '6' in it and it was a very good motor; lots of torque and ran pretty smooth for an inline.

Nice looking truck, I'm a ford truck guy. I had an 84 but it was the base model. v6 4 speed, ran great most of the time. That was back in the day when you could open both doors and hose things down. I always liked the upscale models. My brother had an 85 2 tone brown and tan, I think it was call a lariat back then. Top model. Always thought the dual fuel tanks were kinda silly though.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
