WILL SELL TO HIGHEST BIDDER WHEN AUCTION IS COMPLETED! EVERY CAR HAS A STORY BUT THIS CAR HAS AN AMAZING STORY!! AN INVENTOR IN PENDLETON OREGON HAD A GOAL OF BEING THE FIRST TO HAVE A FORD DIESEL TRUCK. HE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW FORD TRUCK IN PORTLAND OREGON AND DROVE THE 351 MILES TO HIS HOMETOWN IN PENDLETON OREGON. HIS GOAL WAS TO CONVERT THE TRUCK TO A DIESEL ENGINE TRUCK AND THEN SELL THIS KIT TO ANYONE THAT WANTED TO CONVERT HIS GAS TRUCK TO DIESEL. HE FIRST WENT OUT AND PURCHASED A CHRYSLER NISSAN DIESEL ENGINE WHICH WAS THE DIESEL OF CHOICE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SCOUTS OF THAT ERA. THE ENGINE WAS THE SD33 MODEL. HE LINKED THE ENGINE UP WITH THE 727 CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION. THE SD33 SERIES ENGINES SAW EXTENSIVE USE IN COMMERCIAL, STATIONARY, AND MARINE APPLICATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE NATURALLY ASPIRATED SD-33 WAS A FOUR MAIN BEARING INDIRECT- INJECTION ENGINE WITH DRY SLEEVES. THE DIESELS COULD EASILY BREAK THE 20 MPG BARRIER ON THE HIGHWAY. LOWEST MILEAGE 1976 FORD F150 IN EXISTENCE?? PROBABLY SO!! THE ENGINE WAS MATED TO THE WORLD RENOWN 727 CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION TO MAKE A SUPERB UNIT FOR DRIVING. A TURBO WILL GO WITH THE TRUCK IF ANYONE WOULD WANT TO CONVERT TO THAT CONFIGURATION. IT IS THE CORRECT UNIT THAT CAN CONVERT THE SD33 TO TURBO. ***THE DIESEL ENGINE AS OF TODAY ONLY HAS 11 HOURS ON THE METER*** ***THE CAR ITSELF HAS ONLY 453 ACTUAL MILES!*** THE TRUCK STARTS UP LIKE ANY OTHER DIESEL WITH A GLOWPLUG, ETC. A DIESEL METER WAS PUT ON THE DASH AREA TO REGISTER TOTAL HOURS AND THE METER READING AS OF TODAY IS 11 HOURS TOTAL SINCE ITS CREATION. AGAIN THE TRUCK ITSELF ONLY HAS 453 ACTUAL MILES SINCE NEW!! YES ONLY 453 ACTUAL MILES!! THE INVENTOR WAS ABLE TO PUT EXACTLY 100 MILES ON HIS CREATION UNTIL HIS UNTIMELY DEATH IN 1978. SINCE THAT TIME THE TRUCK WAS IN STORAGE INSIDE HIS HOUSE AND A BUILDING FOR 40 YEARS. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IT HAS BEEN OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC SINCE 1976. THE TRUCK WAS ACQUIRED BY A LOCAL COLLECTOR OF FAMOUS COLLECTOR CARS . ONE OF HIS COLLECTOR CARS WAS PURCHASED BY JAY LENO OF TONIGHT SHOW FAME. THE COLLECTOR RECENTLY PASSED AWAY AND NOW THE TRUCK IS UP FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER THE TIRES ARE ALL ORIGINAL WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN 1976!! 1- GOODYEAR SUPER HI MILER 7.00-15LT BIAS PLY TIRES 2- DATE CODES A- 325 B- 335 C- 345 D- 345 CODES ABOVE WERE THE 32ND WEEK, 33RD WEEK, 34TH WEEK, AND THE 34TH WEEK OF 1975 MANUFACTURING DATE. THE TRUCK LOOKS AS IF IT CAME OUT OF A TIME MACHINE FROM 1976. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL 1975 TIRES THAT WERE PUT ON THIS 1976 MODEL. EACH TIRE HAS THE CORRECT DATE CODE FOR THAT YEAR. ALL STILL IN PRISTINE CONDITION DUE TO THE DRY STORAGE ON THE TRUCK. ALL ARE BIAS PLY TIRES AS WAS THE CHOICE OF MANY BUYERS STILL IN 1976. THE TRUCK HAS THE FORD FACTORY BED COVER OFFERED IN 1976 FROM THE DEALER. THE BED OF THE TRUCK IS LIKE NEW. THE INTERIOR OF COURSE IS ALL ORIGINAL AND PRISTINE.

ORIGINAL 1976 OREGON PLATES GO WITH CAR!! FRONT AND REAR!! NOW OF COURSE SOME PEOPLE WILL THINK THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO PUT THE 390 V8 BACK INTO THE TRUCK, ETC ETC AND PUT THE TRUCK BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY. I CONSIDERED THAT BUT I THOUGHT THE STORY BEHIND THE TRUCK WOULD BE THE BETTER CHOICE AND LEFT IT AS IS. IT WOULD BE RELATIVELY EASY TO ACQUIRE A 390 V8 FROM THAT ERA ETC ETC AND DO THE CONVERSION BACK IF SOMEONE WANTED TO GO THAT WAY. A GREAT TRUCK FOR A MUSEUM OR FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR. THE LOWEST MILEAGE 1976 FORD F 150 IN EXISTENCE THAT I KNOW OF. SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. THE TRUCK WILL STAND UP TO ANY PRE INSPECTION AND THEY ARE SUGGESTED FOR THE SERIOUS BUYER.
