Vehicle Detail
This 95 F-150 is a Mark III conversion, Flareside extended cab. The truck has been in the family for 11 years and has been my shop truck for many years. There have been no accidents and no major repairs since we bought the truck with 40k miles on it. This truck is very reliable, has ice cold A/C, leather interior (with wear and some tearing as you see in pictures), tow package, power rear sliding window, cruise control (works), automatic with overdrive, powdercoated 40 Ford style steel wheels (Wheel Vintiques), 34 Ford V-8 centers, stainless trim rings, BF Goodrich Radial T/A's (285/70/15 rears on 10's; 225/60/15 fronts on 8's) with 3k miles on them, all new brakes front to rear (rotors, pads, drums, shoes, hardware), new front wheel bearings, new starter last year, trans serviced at 150k miles (flush/filter/fill), and tune up at 150k (cap/rotor/plugs/wires/throttle body replaced/egr valve replaced/fuel pressure regulator replaced/new fuel filter). The truck is lowered 2" in the rear and 1 1/2" in the front (lowered coil springs). Has an incredible rake. I have used Mobil-1 10w-30 synthetic since 75k miles, changed every 5k miles. Differential oil was changed to synthetic (Valvoline) at 150k miles. Rear showed no visible wear or alignment issues, rear bearings are excellent, diff does not leak. The pinstriping is done by hand and was done by the late Gary Wills, "The Pioneer", and has been on the truck for many years. I will not be removing the pintstriping as part of this sale. Getting such a good truck, this cheap, if you don't like it...your elbow grease is free and have at it. The lettering is for my shop, so this is a REAL "shop truck", used daily to advertise my shop, pick up parts, tow the show trailer (1700 lbs), tow and haul finished and project bikes...you name it, it did it and it never complained. The truck does have scratches and obvious signs of use...no, wait, "This truck has great patina!" No rust issues, solid frame, and excellent drivetrain. Don't let the miles fool you. This truck has been well taken care of...and driven only around 10k miles per year its entire life (think about that...my 08 Mazda has 120k on it already!). This truck has a lot of life left and makes a cool statement every mile. There are issues, however. The leather seats show wear and there are several tears and pulls (rear seat is perfect). The driveline has a mild vibration that appears around 25mph and disappears around 55mph. I have had the tires re-balanced twice, but the issue has not corrected. The driveshaft does not show to have lost any balance weights...so, the next step is to check the ball joints, which I have not done. The vibration does not affect performance and is mild...but it is noticeable. The front end is correctly aligned and that is not the issue.The driver side power window "up" limiter is gone. So, you have to "stop" the window by letting off the switch when it gets to the top. The gear drive for "close" on the power rear window is stripped. You can open via the switch, then push closed. The heater is weak, but the A/C is ice cold (the "trap door" does not always move to the heat side/standard problem in Fords). I have a clear Tennessee title in my name. I accept PayPal, cash, and credit cards (in any case, the truck will not be release until ALL funds are clear and in my hands). If you ahve any questions, please use eBay's message function. I will respond. Of course, I make no guarantees or warranties of any kind. This truck has been nice to me for many years. It may not like you. It may break down...or, it may run for longer than you need it. In any event, once you buy it, it is yours...no whining, no takie-backsies.On Mar-06-13 at 09:34:02 PST, seller added the following information: To answer a question that several people have called about: The rear is a 3.55 posi. Truck cruises at about 2k rpm at 70 mph with the 285/70 rear tires.On Mar-08-13 at 10:04:08 PST, seller added the following information: Want to let the winner know the following: I will have to leave for a business trip on Monday for California. If you cannot pick the truck up on Saturday or Sunday, don't worry. I will leave the executed title with my wife. She will bring the title and truck if you need to pick it up during the week. Otherwise, I will be back in town on Saturday, March 16. Again, I do not have to be here for you to pick up the truck. The truck will also come with a set of polished stainless exhaust tips to replace the old chrome ones. They will be in the truck at the time of pick-up. They were a brand new set that I cut off of another project. Just weld them on for a refreshed look on the tips. Also...to answer another question: The spare tire is still under the bed. However, it is probably in poor shape. The truck did not have a spare when I bought it, so I put that one under there...11 years ago. It has never been back out from under it and I haven't even put air in it in years...but at least it's there.
