Come and get it folks. Don't let this one get away..... This truck is priced for a quick sale that means I want to be paid quickly. NO BS. You guys bid it up to $3800 (reserve not met) last week so here it is at no reserve. As many had asked about shipping, I don't give shipping quotes either you need to check on that yourself. Scroll down for 50 pics Here is my 1968 Ford F-100 Stepside short bed truck w/ 240 CI 6 cylinder and 3 speed manual on the tree w/ manual drum brakes and manual steering. I rescued this truck off of a Texas farm in 2012 where it had sat since the late 90's. This truck was originally purchased From Iraan Motor Co. in 1968 by the Shell Pipeline company as a fleet vehicle to be used on the oil fields of Texas. When I bought the truck it had not run in over 10 years but was a solid Texas truck with some real history. I have the original owners manual with all the info written on the inside cover page by the dealership. This truck is a numbers matching with the original drivetrain. When I bought it the wood bed had already rotted away and most of the glass broken, fuel tank rusted, clutch worn out, carb gone bad, bench seat was torn up from the texas critters, dash pad warped and cracked and so on...... Having said all that I was still impressed with the original sheet metal and history of the truck and just had to save it from the scrap yard. I have spent over 3K in parts and around 120 hours labor getting her back to driving shape over the past 2 years. Here is a list of the most important things I have replaced during my ownership and have all receipts. New fuel tankNew Firewall insulation padRebuilt CarbNew Fuel PumpNew Battery and cablesNew StarterNew AlternatorNew Flywheel ring gearNew ClutchNew rear GlassNew Side GlassNew Heater HosesNew Heater ValveNew front brake drums and padsNew rear shocksNew Oak wood BedNew Bed StripsNew Tail LightsDriver Side Floor PanMaster CylinderNew TiresBench Seat Cover Now being my shop truck I have since added a Red fotina paint job over the original Pebble Beige leaving the roof original as I wanted to give it a two tone more head turning look. The original finish was just to drab and tired for me. I have some experience in this type of work and it turned out quite nice. I used a satin clear over the entire truck. The paint I used is Duplicolor Performance Red and Satin clear so it is cheap and readily available. Depending on the direction you go you can continue on with the patina finish or completely strip and start over. The paint is very thin and could be easily sanded back. This truck has no sign of any type of accident or frame damage. The truck still needs a new windshield as the original is cracked in several places. The driver floor pan had a few small rust holes so I welded in a correct Ford replacement pan. There is some other minor rust on the lower cab edges and inner rear Fenders. I removed the box/bed and painted the frame rails and diff. Eastwood Chassis Black. The frame rails and cab mounts are rust free and in great shape. The wood bed kit was given a couple coats of stain but could use more as it is already wearing off in spots. I used this truck as my daily work truck in 2012 and part of 2013. The truck runs and stops, shifts well through all 3 gears. The non power drum break system is grabby and needs some muscle to stop hard. Needs front shocks. Heat works, wipers work, lights work. Choke is missing cable so it is hard starting when cold but warms up in a minute or two and purrs like a kitten. The truck still needs lots of little things but is so cool just the way it sits. Perfect for Resto-Rod or drive as is. CLEAR TITLE IN MY BUSINESS NAME I have provided dozens of pictures documenting the condition and partial restoration I have done over the past 2 1/2 years.
