1983 Ford F-Series Manufacturer Promo
The 1983 Ford F-150 was the first of the line to be offered with a diesel engine (a 170-horsepower diesel V-8). If you didn’t need that much power, or the hassle of finding diesel in the city, you still had the choice of the Windsor V8 or a straight-6.
No significant changes were made in the design of the 83 Ford F150; the square-shouldered workhorse continued to be Ford’s top-selling truck in the U.S. and around the world. The 1983 Ford F150 came in XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat trims, with a variety of configurations including the extended cab supercab, as well as 2-door and 4-door setups.
The 83 Ford F-150 continued to be the choice of many a farm and ranch; the sturdy pickup also appealed to four-wheelers looking for a solid off-road ride, and to anyone drawn by the model’s record of rugged reliability. Tuners still prize the 1983 F-150 for its muscle and its boxy linebacker shape.

The manual locking hubs are unpleasant in inclement weather. Automatic locking hubs are better for such conditions, even if they cost extra.
