So I was given a 85 F150 by my late fiance who named the truck Darla. I later purchased it off of her and less than month later she passed. I've always wanted a bullnose ever since I was fourteen years old and saw my buddy Dane bring his bullnose home. It was two-toned red with white and all red interior, regular cab with a 302 and five speed. The moment I laid eyes on that truck I knew that it was an "attainable dream car". The moment I laid eyes on Darla I knew she had to be mine. We were the third owners and I make the fourth technically of this beautiful farm truck. For $2000 we got it and found out it was all original 302 MFI with only 51,275 miles. I wrecked her into a telephone pole while reaching for my phone (dumbass move) last winter at idle speed which happened to be 25 miles an hour, fun huh? I replaced the lower section of the pole with Darla. I wrecked her again being stupid on a roundabout on ramp trying to get sideways when it was wet. She died on me right after Lex passed. I bought a few motorcycles since then and am about to let go of the past and the truck tomorrow along with one of my project bikes. Darla will roll over but not start. I've put way too much money into her. I paid $1,300 for her plus tires and a bunch of new parts I'm in about $3,000, that's including towing fees every time I would get her running and she would die again. She's not getting spark and I'm on my third distributor, second starter, third starter relay, etc. Replaced most of the fuel system too. But I believe that it's time to let go. This truck is a blessing and a curse because of the reminder of Elixia every time i look at it.. Yesterday someone responded to my marketplace post for the truck and bike as is for sale. I told him that he could get out here with the money in hand and I could be like "I don't want to let it go". He told me that he fully understood. Then he told me why he wanted the truck and my heart sank. I almost cried for real. His dad, who passed away several years ago, had an 84 bullnose that looked exactly like mine, same color/motor and all. I knew then that I couldn't keep holding on to the past while stopping someone from attaining their dream build. I agreed to the terms after an hour and a half of just bull****ting and getting to know each other. So tomorrow after I finalize the title I will be trading my beloved Darla and my 84 Shadow VT700C bobber project for a running 02 Saturn. Mind you both of my vehicles don't run. He wants it that bad. As of right now I've only driven Darla about 9,000 miles. She reads 60,457. I need running wheels more than I need 4 vehicles that don't run. It's both an upgrade and downgrade. I love this friggin' truck. Im losing my work bench for when I'm rebuilding my two Goldwings. This sucks but at the same time I feel good about it, seeing as I always wanted one and now I've had it for a little over a year now, and now I can pass it to someone else that will actually appreciate this beautiful piece of automotive history. He even said he would contact me first before he sold her to any one else. I guess I can check Bullnose F150 with a 302 off of my bucket list. Sad though. I might cry tomorrow when I see her get towed away... I'm sorry but if a certain vehicle can't jerk your emotions like this then you definitely don't have oil in your blood and your not a true enthusiast. Just saying. I letting go of the truck for sure, 100%. I just did the poll thing to see what people thought.

Love at first sight.

My dream truck. Like attainable dream truck. I knew that i could own one whereas i knew i would i never own a Ferrari.


Tinted her. 5% limo all around. Not legal lol.

Elixia and I.
