* 3-speed automatic (C6): This was a very common option.
* 4-speed manual: Also a frequently found transmission.
* 5-speed manual (various): While less common than the 3-speed automatic or 4-speed manual, some F-150s had a 5-speed manual. The specific model of 5-speed would vary.
To know for sure what transmission a *specific* 1985 Ford F-150 has, you'd need to check the vehicle's documentation (owner's manual, build sheet if available) or look at the transmission itself (though identifying it visually requires some mechanical knowledge).
