THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND TRUCK WE BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR ON THE WEST COAST THE GUY WE BOUGHT IT FROM SAID HE WOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY SO WE FLEW 60 MILES IN FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND DROVE IT HOME 2700 MILES TO TRANSFER PENNSYLVANIA, NOT ONE PROBLEM, IT IS POWERED BY A 400M WITH A 4 SPEED TRANNY, THE MOTOR, TRANNY BOTH REARENDS AND TRANSFER CASE WERE COMPLETLY GONE OVER BY PREVIOUS OWNER. RUNS GREAT. THE 71 BODY BELIEVED TO BE ACTUAL MILAGE OF 71869 IS SITTING ON A 79 FRAME WITH ONE TON AXLES AND DRIVETRAIN. NEW RADIATOR, BREAKS, STARTER, ALTERNATOR, CLUTCH, ALUMINUM INTAKE AND EDELBROKE CARB. I CANNOT FIND ANYWHERE IN THIS TRUCK THAT THERE IS PUTTY OR ANY MAJOR BODY DAMAGE OR REPAIR, IT IS ROCK SOLID INSIDE AND OUT THE ORIGINAL COLOR WAS LIME GREEN WITCH IS SHOWING THROUGH IN PLACES BELIEVED TO BE A PRIOR FOREST DEPARTMENT TRUCK, LOOKS LIKE WHENEVER IT WAS REPAINTED THEY SCUFFED DOWN ORIGINAL PAINT AND SPRAYED IT WITH NEW. THERE IS SLIGHT RUST ON THE BOTTOM BACK SIDE OF THE FRONT FENDERS AND DOORS AS SEEN IN PICTURE NO PUTTY OR PREVIOUS REPAIR, AN EASY FIX. INSIDE OF DOORS AND ROCKERS ARE ROCK SOLID AS IS ENTIRE UNDERSIDE OF TRUCK IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW CLEAN THIS TRUCK IS. IT IS SITTING ON NEW 18" ALUMINUM WHEELS WITH 38X13.5X18" TOYO TIRES (A VALUE OF $3600 IN ITSELF) WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES. TRUCK DRIVES DOWN THE ROAD AS IT SITS, NICER THAN SOME NEWER TRUCKS I DROVE, IS NOT ALL OVER THE ROAD LIKE YOU WOULD THINK OF A TRUCK THIS SIZE. THE INTERIOR IS CLEAN DRIVER SEAT TORE ON THE SEAM ON TOP, HEADLINER STILL IN PLACE, BLACK CARPET. TRUCK IS 98% COMPLETE, MAY BE MISSING A PIECE OF TRIM HERE OR THERE BUT IT IS A PERFECT TRUCK FOR COMPLETE RESTERATION OR DO LIKE WE DID AND JUST DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND WATCH PEOPLE RUN OFF THE ROAD LOOKING AT IT, LIKE THEY NEVER SEEN A TRUCK BEFORE. OUR INTENSION WAS TO RESTORE IT BUT PLANS HAVE CHANGED NOW SO IT IS UP FOR AUCTION. TRUCK NEVER SEEN A WINTER UNTIL THIS YEAR AND ONLY FROM THE INSIDE OF THE GARAGE (NO SALT) PARKED FOR WINTER.

JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT, AFTER GOIG OVER THE TRUCK THOUROUGHLY THIS MORNING WITH A BIG 70'S FORD MECHANIC AND GURU, HE BELIEVES THIS TRUCK TO HAVE A VALUE AS IT SITS OF AROUND $10K. THIS TRUCK IS A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR A FRAME OFF RESTORATION, ITS A ROCK SOLID TRUCK IN GREAT SHAPE, OR IS A GREAT HEAD TURNER JUST AS IT SITS.
