Hello, New to the forum. My name is Marty and I live in Iowa. I recently scored this super clean 1985 D150. 2 owner, 80K miles. I couldn't be happier with the truck and the price. It's REALLY rare to find a truck in this condition in the upper Midwest. I have a little work to do to get reliable. Just the usual belts, hoses, fluids and some brake work.

 

Welcome! Nice find!

 

Why does it look like the bed is too long? Is that just me??

Nice lookin' truck though.

 

It does, doesn't it? I suspect it's just the camera angle. Although I do remember 9 and 10 foot beds back in the 1970's and 80's. They were never very common, especially on 1/2 ton trucks. Otherwise we may just be olde phartes with bad eyes.

 

I never noticed, I'll have to measure it. It was purchased originally to mount a truck camper. 🤔

 

I measured it. It's 8'

 

Yep, a couple of olde phartes with bad eyes.
