1985 Ford F-350

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1985 Ford F-350 for your consideration. This classic American workhorse has been meticulously maintained and comes with a history that reflects its careful ownership and light usage. Originally purchased from Grennell Brothers Southern Trucks in Muskegon, Michigan, this F-350 has spent nearly 24 years mostly parked in a garage, lovingly covered, and started only occasionally to keep everything in working order. Under the hood, this F-350 is powered by the highly regarded International 6.9 IDI diesel engine, which has only 5,000 miles on a professional overhaul. This engine is known for its durability and will bring a smile to your face every time you fire it up. Mated to a C6 automatic transmission, it also features a Doug Nash aftermarket overdrive, ensuring smooth cruising at highway speeds. This one-ton, two-wheel drive truck, with its single rear wheel configuration, is an ideal choice for those seeking a dependable and straightforward vehicle. The exterior is finished in a striking two-tone red, with the lighter red center section potentially being a later repaint. Despite this, the body remains in spectacular condition, a testament to its life away from snow and salted roads. In 2023, extensive maintenance was completed, including new front wheel bearings, rear wheel cylinders, and a full fluid change covering everything from brake fluid to power steering lube. The tires, V-belts, and batteries were also replaced in 2023, with only 150 miles added since these updates. The interior of the box was repainted, ensuring it remains in excellent condition, free of rust and blemishes. Inside, the truck features an immaculate interior that shows little wear, with floor mats that have kept the carpet nearly flawless. It comes equipped with A/C, cruise control, manual windows and locks, and aftermarket gauges for monitoring transmission, overdrive, and exhaust gas temperatures. The trucks cabin reflects the careful usage over the years, making it a rare find in such a preserved condition. The 1985 Ford F-350 is a prime example of Ford's legendary durability and engineering, built to last without the need for modern, complicated electronics. This truck is more than just a vehicle; its a piece of American automotive history, offering a unique opportunity for the next owner to continue its legacy.
