Refurbished F250 Lariat XLT 6.9 IDI Diesel Regular Cab, Long Bed

Description for Ford F-250 1986

Classic 1986 F-250 Regular Cab. Long Bed. 2WD pickup truck. This truck has been beautifully refurbished both mechanically and cosmetically. The odometer says 76. 00. but given the truck's age I have to assume that it has 176. 00 miles on the body. I purchased it with 74. 00 on the odometer and have driven it 2000 miles. This truck has been repainted(I don't know when?) and the paint is in excellent condition. I have one picture of it in the sunshine. the rest were taken on a cloudy day. At 155. 00 miles it received a new 6. 9 IDI diesel engine. new glow plugs. and a new radiator. I have the $9120 invoice from Walnut Creek Ford for all this work. Other new parts include: A power steering gear box. brake master cylinder and booster pump. driver's side window motor transmission shift modulator valve. transmission pan gasket. fuel filter. radiator coolant filter. heater core. high flow(K&N style) air filter. seven prong trailer plug. and a new glow plug controller. To enhance the performance of this truck I had an OEM Ford Garret Turbocharger off of a '94 F250 custom installed on this truck along with a new 3" stainless steel exhaust system at the same time. $2200 in labor for this installation. (not including the Turbo parts) I have the receipts for this as well. While installing the turbo we replaced all the old rubber fuel return lines and caps and wrapped the down pipe and firewall in insulation to keep the heat in check. These older IDI's are excellent. dependable. long lasting motors. but were a bit under powered. Ford didn't start offering Turbo's on their IDI diesel trucks until '93 & '94. then they switched over to the new 7. 3L Turbodiesel motors in 1995. This fact makes this Turbocharged '86 IDI with only 20. 00 miles on the motor an extremely unique truck. Now it runs like it ought to. a big improvement over a non-turbo IDI. Any Ford truck enthusiast will tell you these IDI motors will easily run for several hundred thousand miles. I also installed some stainless steel Bully steps and added an aluminum Gemtop camper shell. Inside the 8' bed is a thick rubber bed mat covered with new indoor/outdoor carpeting. I also replaced the side window screens on the camper shell. This truck has four Michelin X Radial truck tires with very good tread on them. Inside the cab there is a new vinyl bench seat with new heavy cloth seat cover. A new headliner . a new jumbo floor console. a new trailer brake controller and an upgraded Pioneer CD player with Aux. imput. The Lariat XLT package comes with power windows. power door locks. A/C. tilt steering wheel. cruise control. and a sliding rear window. There are no cracks in the dashboard. The A/C and the cruise control are the only two things that do not work properly on this truck. The cruise control did function last summer. so it's possible that is may be as simple as a blown fuse to get it working again? This truck is not perfect. but I believe it would be next to impossible to find another 1986 F250 in this condition. If you are a fan of the old generation. non-computerized Ford trucks(in the pre-1997 body style) you won't be disappointed. This truck is registered through July 2015 and is smog exempt.
