Have you ever seen.....85 IFS truck
 

a 1985 4x4 with stock IFS?

Yes. one thats 2wd...

Yeah a 1986 and later frame with a 1985 body on top.

Why? Why this question? 86-up --> IFS

An '86 MODEL YEAR made in late '85, and stupid people THINK its an '85 because it was made in late '85!

Yes that's what I saw. Just not sure about the stupid part. Reg. says 85 so technically it is. But actual body, frame ,suspension was 86 to the core. Just never saw one that early or is it late?

Uh, no. If you tell the DMV it's a 2014, they'll put 2014 on the registration. There were no 1985 model year 4WD IFS trucks.

Check the VIN on the frame and compare to whats on the cab.

Door jam says 85

What month?

08/84-07/85 is 85 model year.
08/85-07/86 is 86 model year.

Door jam is the manufacture date. Manufacture date and model year are not always the same. My '80 was built in 12/79.

Ya beat me hippy.

10/85. Winged window, cal bed.

that means its actually an 86. Any vehicle made in or after july, is considered the next model year. or at least thats what it is now, not sure about 25 years ago.

We've established that fact. And, FYI, any vehicle made AFTER July(NOT in July), is considered as the following MY.

Hint: Read ENTIRE thread first, then post comment. In that order.

So, what you're saying is, it's not an '85? :hillbill:

I'll shut up now...

My sons 85 is 8/85. And its a true 1985 sr5 extra cab. My avatar.

I have a IFS titled 1985 production date 10/85 4x4 22rcte.

In the eyes of the state that first titles the truck it is a 85 perhaps because it was foreign.

Who knows

That sounds just like the truck I saw. Does yours have wing windows?

yes it does have the wing windows:fire:

Your avatar needs the correct grill:hillbill:
