HELLO, UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1982 FORD F100 PROJECT/PARTS TRUCK, THESE ARE GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND AND HERE IS A GREAT PROJECT TO PLAY WITH OR STRIP FOR PARTS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN LEFT FOR DEAD BY A CO WORKER THAT MOVED DOWN SOUTH, IT WAS A RUNNING AND DRIVING PROJECT FOR HIM THAT NEVER TOOK OFF....... I DROVE BY THIS TRUCK EVERYDAY ON THE WAY INTO WORK AND I STARTED TO DRIVE SLOWER AND SLOWER EVRYTIME I ROLLED BY. MY BOSS DECIDED ONE AFTERNOON THAT HE HAD ENOUGH OF DRIVING INTO OUR YARD AND LOOKING AT THIS TRUCK AND ASKED ME TO MAKE A CALL TO OUR FLATBED DRIVER. I DID NOT WANT TO SEE THE TRUCK CRUSHED FOR SCRAP. I LOVE TO TINKER AND HAD A FEW WINTER PROJECTS IN THE PAST-------THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE THE TIME THIS YEAR BUT TO BE HONEST THE TRUCK NEEDED A LITTLE MORE WORK THAN I THOUGHT AND WANTED TO PUT IN... I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE FOR THIS VEHICLE NOR DO I HAVE A BILL OF SALE...THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT REQUIRES ONLY A BILL OF SALE TO REGISTER A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE... i AM NOT SURE WHAT OTHER STATES REQUIRE AND IT IS THE BIDDERS SOLE RESPONSIBILTY TO DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE COULD BE REGISTERED IN THERE OWN STATE... THE LAST OWNER OF THE CAR NEVER REGISTERED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT AROUND OUR YARD WHILE TINKERING.THE TITLE WAS LOST SOMEWHERE IN HIS MOVE.. IF YOU CARFAX THIS VEHICLE AND FIND WHO THE LAST REGISTERED OWNER WAS, THEN YOU CAN FILL OUT A BILL OF SALE AND GET A REG AND PLATE... OR YOU CAN DO A TITLE SEARCH----EVEN A BROADWAY TITLE CO FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED ....IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO DO SO... THE GOOD NEWS WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT I GOT IT RUNNING WITH A DIRECT LINE OF FUEL FED INTO THE CARB, THE MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP WAS SHOT AS FOR THE SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TANK... YOU CAN HAVE THIS TRUCK RUNNING AS A YARD TRUCK FOR ABOUT $60 BUCKS... VEHICLE MOVES AND STOPS WITH ASSISTANCE FROM A DIRECT FEED OF FUEL......AS for right now the fuel sending unit is out of the tank and the carb fuel line is disconnected. THE MOTOR RUNS REALLY STRONG AND SOUNDED HEALTHY FOR A TRUCK THAT HAS BEEN SITTING....THE CARB ON THE TRUCK IS FAIRLY NEW AND WILL NEED TO BE ADJUSTED...BUT LOOKS REALLY NEW .. THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO GEAR, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOT DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP, BUT I DID GET TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE HELP OF A BUDDY WITH A DIRECT FEED OF FUEL.. CAR WAS DRIVING AROUND MY JOBS YARD A COUPLE YEARS AGO SO i FEEL STRONGLY WITH A FLUID SERVICE TO BE SAFE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE A RUNNER ..... THE BRAKES FEEL PRETTY GOOD, BUT THE WHOLE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE SHAKED DOWN TO BE ROAD WORTHY.... TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED..... THIS VEHICLE BY NO MEANS IS READY FO THE ROAD AS IS..... THE FRONT CAB IS SUPER STRAIGHT WITH SOME SPOTS OF CANCER HERE AND THERE , BODY OF CAB WOULD BE A GREAT CANIDATE FOR PAINT WITH MINIMAL REPAIR WORK... I RUBBED A LITTLE COMPOUND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND THE OXIDATION CAME CLEAN---IF YOU RAN A BUFFER OVER THIS BODY---IT WOULD SHINE----- THE PICK UP BED BODY HAS FIBER GLASS FENDERS THAT ARE ALSO IN GOOD SHAPE AND CAN BE WORKED FAIRLY EASY. A LITTLE DETAIL HERE TOO WILL BE A NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE. THE REAL BIG ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK IS THE PICKUP TRUCK BED HAS ROTTED OUT (AS SHOWN IN PICS) THERE WAS 2X6'S AS A BED FLOOR AND THE CROSS MEMBERS HOLDING THE SECTION TOGETHER NEED TO BE REBUILT AND WELDED.. I TOOK THE BED OFF THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK TO START MAKING REPAIRS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BED (BED OF TRUCK IS JUST SITTING ON FRAME) WHEN I TOOK OFF THE BED I NOTICED A SPLIT/HOLE IN THE FRAME RIGHT WHERE THE GAS FILLER NECK SITS.. I TOOK SOME PICS OF THE SPOT... I WAS TOLD BY A FEW GUYS TO SISTER THE BAD SPOT WITH TWO PCS OF PLATE USING THE FACTORY FRAME BOLT HOLES AND WELD THE SEAMS.. THIS AND THE BED IS THE ONLY REAL BIG ISSUES TO ME THAT STAND OUT... I AM NOT GOING TO TELL ANYBODY THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIZE JOB BECAUSE IT IS FOR MOST OF US... BUT I AM SURE THERE GUYS OUT THERE THAT COULD NOT THIS OUT IN A 8 HOUR DAY --- BUT i JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME/DESIRE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE--... THE INTERIOR IS IN OK SHAPE, THE SEATS ARE OUT OF SOMETHING ELSE NOT REALLY SURE? ALL OF THE TRIM AND DASH PCS ARE MOSLTY ALL THERE... YOU HAVE TO START THE TRUCK WITH A SCREWDRIVER----LOCK CYLINDER ON COLUMN WAS VANDALIZED AND IS NOT OPERATIONAL.....GLASS IS ALL THERE WITH NO CRACKS.... TRUCK HAS A NICE SET OF CHROME WHEELS WITH SOME RUST THAT SHOULD CLEAN UP FAIRLY WELL.... BILLET GRILLE, CHROME BUMBERS.... THIS TRUCK HAS ALOT OF POTENTIAL AND WILL MAKE A FINE RUNNER FOR SOMEBODY.... PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS TRUCK IS A PROJECT/PARTS VEHICLE THAT WILL NEED TO BE OVERHAULED...iN THE PAST 3 WEEKS I HAVE ONLY SEEN 2 OF THESE ON EBAY RANGING IN PRICE FROM $2000 TO $10000 WITH ACTIVE BIDS---- I CAN TAKE THIS TRUCK TO THE SCRAP YARD TOMMOROW AND GET $250 AS IS...I JUST HATE SEEING OLDER AMERICAN VEHICLES GETTING CRUSHED----I HAVE SAVED A FEW CARS FROM THE SCRAPPER IN MY DAY.....HAD SOME FUN WITH ALL OF THEM TOO---HOPEFULLY SOMEBODY CAN PUT ALITTLE TIME AND SKILL INTO THIS ONE---- *PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE BUYING A TRUCK THAT NEEDS WORK, THIS TRUCK IS NOT ROAD WORTHY.... I feel that i have described this vehicle to the best of my ability and i encourage anyone interested to come and take a look. I understand buying a vehicle on ebay can be a little nerve racking and i will do whatever i can to make this auction a good one for both buyer and seller. If you live out of state and plan on shipping the truck i will do all i can within reason to help you arrange shipping and meeting your carrier or loading the vehicle----i will try to work with you on your schedule----please note that the vehicle is being sold as is where is and shipping/transportation is the sole responsibility of the buyer---*THIS TRUCK WILL NEED TO BE WINCHED OR COMEALONGED ONTO A TRAILER OR WINCHED ONTO A FLATBED-----THE TRUCK BED WILL HAVE TO BE STRAPPED DOWN I will require a non refundable $100 within 24 hours of auctions end and the remaining balance within 36 hours----I would like to have the vehicle picked up within 7 days but i understand that getting transportation set up and getting time to hook up to your trailer and come to my home takes time... I will work with you the best i can please do not bid if you do not have the available funds to purchase this vehicle,please do not bid unless all of your questions/concerns have been answered--- Feel free to bring your mechanic, father, mother, friend or whom ever you would like to look the truck over---- vEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS AND SHIPPING /TRANSPORTATION IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER ... IN CASE THERE IS ANYTHING I MISSED, FEEL FREE TO ASK *thanks for all the questions, I have been getting alot of interest/watchers.... the big questions is a buy it now price and my response is start throwing numbers out there-----somebody is going to want the truck---its just a matter of time til i find the buyer---if worst came to worst and i would hate to do it---but the scrap yard will give me $300 to $500 depending on what metal is getting that day and what yard I bring it too----and thats after I strip some of the parts off- thanks again for all the interest ----
