We've Cut the Opening Bid by One Thousand Dollars! That puts this truck at 1/2 NADA Average value... This is a 1964, ordered in 1963 by the Yavapai Sheriff's Office, F100 factory 4X4, tilt (dump) bed with built-in factory tool boxes in the slabside box, built in Kansas City from a DSO (District Special Order #75) in Phoenix. Engine Code is the only thing that’s a bit confusing: the data plate shows a C, which is the 292, but the rated HP is 135, which is the 223. That’s about par for the course for the old Ford’s. Equipped with a 223 "Mileage Maker" inline 6, 4 speed with granny, original Warn hubs and a Warn 8K winch. 223 was rebuilt with .030 over two years back. Single wire alternator. All new brake cylinders. Some new bearings in the last year or so. New primary U-Joints late last year. Always maintained. New shocks. No rust. New Desert Radiator with electric fans last year sometime - not the Taiwan-made LMC Truck stock radiator. New rubber side and back windows and drip edge. As you can see, she's in very good condition. It isn't a concours, show restoration: we don't consider her a restoration at all, in fact, but you could probably go to the local donut shop car event and have a lot of fun with her: (Used to take my old Vette - 64 - to a donut shop in Huntington Beach on Saturday's. That was a lot of fun, come to recall it.) She's just a very, very unique and nice work truck. Seat is a nice-looking black/gray tweed and it works for us: it’s a newly-upholstered classic tweed from an early Chevy and is thus a bit bigger than the stock Ford; if you have a substantial gut you’ll probably have to switch it back to a stock seat (not included). New heater core this past winter from a local specialty shop – US made. Has black lap belts. A great running and looking truck. Not, though, for fast-paced running down the I-40. 58 or 59 is tops and mileage drops to 12 or so at that speed, but she’ll do that all day long. Around town or at 50 on the highway, this 6 will get an average of 20. (At 61 years of age - me, not Nelly - she goes plenty fast and is maintained meticulously.) We take her into town about once every two weeks – that’s a 100 mile roundtrip. Always reliable, fun and she’s easy to admire, as well as very functional. Her current name, Nelly, is as a result of the letters on her historic plate – NLY. T-18 4 Speed. Dana 60 and 44 up front. Long Wheel Base. Spicer 24 divorced transfer case, so it could be re-powered with just about anything – most engine conversion athwart braces are about a hundred and another fifty for the trans. Last year I considered a 350 TBI with auto: that’d be an easy conversion requiring only a clutch slave and new drive shaft: but, really, why bother? She runs beautifully and uses much less gas, and she will go anywhere you like the way she is. Engine runs quiet, smooth and starts immediately. Very, very little LMC – Dennis Carpenter Made-in-China-crap used on vehicle: mostly all original and OEM US Made steel parts. New Goodyear Authority heavy terrain tires on stock steel wheels. (Great looking tires.) No headliner in it yet: always meant to do that, just never did. What she could use, to be as thorough as possible: headliner ($400 upholstery shop ($200 LMC for made-in-China reproduction fiberboard)), two visors ($60 same place), little spring that locks in the E-brake (($1) I leave her in gear - the compression holds her under nearly all circumstances), inspection panels on the doors are off - don't have and didn't want them because it allows the doors to be used as storage areas (I keep a fire extinguisher in the driver's door (cheap insurance) but LMC has a not-too-bad reproduction zipped enclosure for both doors at $200)), and an original seat if you require it. She has no turn signals and I never put a horn in her although the horn button will work fine ($50?). Adjustable electric fan thermostat (at present the sensor turns the fans on immediately, or if I put the contact connector onto the sensor fitted to the radiator, at 190 degrees; an adjustable for $29 would allow the user to set it at any variable trigger point. Don’t need two trucks nowadays: no big animals at the ranch now (see our other listings for tack, and so on) and our half-ton 94 GMC 4X4 does the trip into town a little faster. As to price: NADA says average is $10.5K but that doesn’t include tilt bed, winch, factory toolboxes. High is $20K plus. This is not one of the Craig’s List trucks where the ad includes, "Ran when it was parked..." Nelly runs perfectly, all the time. And, she’s a very comfortable ride. In 4 High she'll go anywhere. In 4 Low she'll pull anything you like to anywhere you like. The Warn hubs are locking, incidentally and work perfectly with no leaks - replaced the O-rings just the other day, in fact. So, if you own a ranch or a business you could use her for advertising or in product delivery, or if you’re a contractor, or a homeowner, or (just about anything including retired) this truck is perfect. We're 40 miles east of Kingman, Arizona, remote, in the mountains, intentionally, but she can be driven into town for pickup. A couple of notes: We revised the description to reflect Nelly's mileage, not engine mileage. Color code for this truck was Wimbledon White. We had her repainted a Berkshire Green (an earlier Ford color) since it seemed to fit her. That's about it. A wonderful truck. Have any questions?
