Vehicle Preparation
The first thing to do before any unfamiliar water crossing is to walk it. If you cannot walk it you cannot cross it. If the water is flowing too quickly to safely walk the crossing, then it cannot be driven across.
Remember, 4x4's actually float until water seeps into them. When you walk the crossing you are actually starting your vehicle preparation. You are giving the axles, diffs and gearbox time to cool down while you find out exactly how deep the water is.
that’s an awesome truck,i learned to drive in an 82 f-100 with an inline 6 cyl,4 speed,very nice trucks ,i love the front end look with the square headlights i would love to own one one day!

@rudge1982 It drove ok on the freeway before I modified it. Now that I changed the rear end gear ratio, it runs at high rpms at highway speeds.

I have a 1985 F-150 as well. The paint is the inverse of this truck, with silver where the black is, and black where this is silver.
Too bad nobody makes paint jobs like this anymore from the factory…
