Finally found the right truck that she loves. Looks like this is the forum to find answers.
1985 XLT 2.8 5speed 4x4 LB 113k miles. Has anyone seen one with this paint job?

Yes, That 2 tone style was an available option in 85

You can get a copy of the 1985 sales brochure here

Thanks for the link. We rescued, what she has now named, Roxy Ranger, from a farm in Missouri.

Lol, I’m pretty sure she would make a good fighter pilot, she’ll be a pro in an hour.
Gonna be an awesome time with her fixing it up. Just like the 13 hours we spent together driving to get it yesterday.

I don't believe I've ever seen that factory two tone before... until now.

Glad to see you found what appears to be a really nice starting point.

The dual stripes running down the side is throwing me for a loop. I suppose someone could have added them but they look to be original.

Probably dealership added those. They use to do a bunch of stripes and add on do dads back in the day.

The roll bars are awesome. That really makes the truck look cool
