Hello from Northern California!

Rham243
Hello all, i just picked up this 85 F250 last year and am finally getting around to doing some work on it. It has the 460, runs pretty rough at idle but cruses great down the highway with lots of power. Body and interior are in great shape. Extended cab with the long bed, just the way i like it. not a dent in the body, would like to repaint it eventually. Hoping to fix a few mechanical issues with it first and have a great running truck. Looking forward to conversing with you all. Thanks!

Welcome!  Glad you joined!  

Where in Northern CA?  I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to add you if I had a town/city.

Nice looking truck.  I'm always envious of how rust-free the trucks are out there.

Welcome to the forum!  

That's a really great looking color combination.
As Gary said, I'm envious of how well trucks hold up out there on the west coast.
