I am the second owner of this truck. The first owner purchased this vehicle off the showroom floor in San Jose, California (where an interested party told me he thought it was made after he did some VIN research) The truck was a family vehicle, used as a second vehicle all its life until the owner recently passed away. I purchased the vehicle from the wife, with the intention of restoring the truck. I have since moved to the California coast to go to school and have found the ocean air will rust this vehicle quicker than I anticipated, making it impossible for me restore it while living here. The vehicle is almost all original. Original glass, dash, hubcaps, wood in the back bed, dome light, cigarette lighter, heater/ defrost, and even the original radio all work. The previous owner made two changes to the truck - he converted it to duel exhaust and put larger side mirrors on the truck. The truck is currently street legal in California - licensed and registered. No smog ever necessary on this truck in California. I've put a new starter in the truck and three new tires on it. I've also installed a fuel cutoff switch (pictured). The original wood in the back bed is mostly still in good condition, but the outside slats (nearest to the bed walls) are half rotten and need to be replaced, but I still have those pieces in place. The engine is a 360, 8 cylinder. The transmission is automatic. The engine and transmission are both original, and work great. The truck was built in the Ford Milpitas assembly plant that closed in 1983. Again, the vin number is f10yrd36043 if you'd like to do your own research. The speedometer doesn't work past 50 miles per hour and the odometer is stuck on 77,000 miles. The truck rides great on the highway - going 65-70 mph with ease and grace. The previous owner said there were years at a time the truck was never driven, sitting in a garage, so it's hard to speculate how many miles the truck has on it. Everything fires right up. There is no cancer on this vehicle anywhere. I've been on the coast with this truck for only 4 months. I have all the previous owner's records and documents, including the original owner's manual. Clean title. Please price and anticipate shipping costs, and have shipping arranged before bidding on this vehicle.
