1985 Ford XL F-350 4x4 Crewcab - 5.9 Cummins

1985 Ford F-350 XL

1985 Ford F-350 4x4 Crew Cab Build Sheet

**TITLE CLARIFICATION(9/15/24): Truck has a clean and clear Arizona title in my hands. Vehicle title report indicates “title issue”. This is due to the age in which reporting started for the vehicle and can only be categorized as “exceeds mechanical limits”. The mileage of 17,000 + is actual reconstruction mileage for entirety of the truck. Truck is also titled with fuel type of “diesel” NOT the original gas 460. No wrecks, rust, salvage, etc.

For those looking for a classic Ford Truck from an age of simplicity and strength, this custom classic has been meticulously professionally built from the ground up. This classic is ready for any job or show. The core of this ford features the desired indestructible 5.9 Cummins Diesel power plant. Although simplistic compared to today’s computer, gadget-controlled trucks, this truck features plenty of custom features without having to worry about solenoids and electronics leaving you stranded. Complete body off frame up restoration started with a one owner accident and rust free 1985 Ford Crew Cab. Truck currently has 17,000 miles with all components (except short block) either being new or rebuilt at time of construction.

The truck has a current appraisal (6/14/24) replacement value of $125,900 through Auto Appraisal Network.

If interested, please get all questions answered and vehicle inspected as needed. The truck does get used and does have some minor paint road chips. Mostly on the cargo boxes. This truck will not disappoint. Do not miss your chance to own a truly custom and unique Ford truck that will continue to grow its value.

As the builder, I have intimate knowledge of all details related to the build and construction. Please feel free to ask any questions through eBay messaging or directly by phone (559) 802-7592 Michael Gaines.
