Cleaned up the '85

Finally had a good day of weather and gave my '85 a much needed wash job.

Thought I would share!

That is a nice looking truck!
I know what you mean about the weather. I was able to wax mine today, looks much better.

It usually does not stay this cold for so long here in Louisiana, This year has been bad. We finally got into the 60's this past weekend. I installed my new gas tank and supports also.

Re: Cleaned up the '85

The country setting is my front yard, I have 5.5 acres and live in a rural area. I planted all the trees over the years except the big pines.

I have dual tanks and one was leaking, the saddles were in bad shape also.

Re: Cleaned up the '85

Very nice truck! I lived in Monroe/West Monroe for 5 years. I met my EX wife wife there........... She was from Winnfield. I'm glad that part of my life is over
