I sold
this truck a few months back to gentleman in the military and things didn't
work out as planned, so now I am relisting it. In the time that he
owned it he installed a new battery an treated any surface rust spots with
some neutralizer. Other than that it is still in the condition as sold
to him.
It is a 1973 Ford F100 1/2 ton long bed
4x4. This is a clean 100% rustfree western survivor, with only has
120k miles on it. This 4x4 has a strong smooth 360 with a recent valve
job, nice shifting 4 speed, smooth clutch, power steering and power brakes.
It also has factory A/C. Factory AC was still pretty rare on a pickup
in 1973. The spare tire mount is also factory inside the bed.
The body has some dents, dings, and some extra holes in the doors for other
mirrors, but overall is pretty straight for being
almost 50 years old. It even still features most of it's original
light blue and white paint. Even the inside of the bed is pretty
straight. It has surface rust from use, but isn't all beat to
death.
The interior is very clean, and has a nice
sounding stock location AM/FM stereo. The exhaust, brakes, and
suspension are all sound. The tires are nice 31x10.5x15 BFG's on cool
old school aluminum slots.
The
only major issue is that the power steering system leaks. There are
options: rebuild the original system, install manual steering, or probably
the best, get with an aftermarket company like Benchworks or Redhead and
update it to the newer system like the 78 and 79's use.
Overall, this is neat, no excuses well optioned F100 4x4 that is still very
original, and is a pleasure to drive.
