Default New to the group 1985 D150.



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.

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. 🤔
