This Monster 1985 Bullnose F-150 is Ready to Terrorize Your Neighborhood

Everybody loves monster trucks, from little kids to grown up kids. Well, almost everybody. Some, um, environmentally conscious types don’t see a need for big suspension lifts and huge tires, which undoubtedly do nothing other than increase your gas consumption. But then those folks just don’t understand how much fun you can have in a truck like this 1985 F-150.

They would likely scoff at the 8″ suspension lift and 3″ body lift that created a truck so high you could fit a Prius beneath it. They’d probably hate the roaring noise of those 38″ Super Swampers while driving down the highway as you pass them in the slow lane. Probably.

But us truck lovers don’t need to justify ourselves and our toys to anybody. If you want to have a monster truck like this ’85 with a gas guzzling 351 Windsor under the hood, you are free to buy one. And if you prefer performance to economy, you will surely enjoy the Edelbrock RPM heads, intake, and various other go-fast parts that have been added.

Thankfully, we live in a world (at least for now) where you can own and enjoy toys like this F-150, full of stuff that most might deem “unnecessary.” For those of us that prefer that our transportation have a little more character than your average family sedan, trucks like this ’85 are a wonderful thing.
