![]() We did replace the front floor pans though that are common to rust out on these trucks. Which is hard to believe being this old in this part of the world with salty winter roads. We found the truck this summer and compared to all the old chev and ford trucks we looked at this old this one had little rust other than surface rust. I'd like to see it painted eventually but for now we're going to leave it be. Has anyone done this if so what does person put on it to protect it some? Just wax and keep it clean? Some go to a lot a work to actually make a finish look something like this. He wants to leave the old pantina effect on it has that's popular now a days with some.

Obviously, address the mechanicals first, then put some stock rims with bottle cap hubcaps on it. The price seems really fair for a vintage Ford pickup that you can drive as you work on it over time. I like this truck having had a ’72 shortbed with a dependable 302 and three-on-the-tree. I drove rusty beaters to work and in the winter, not to my local show an’ shine. Ever since I had my first “collector” car, one that I drove only on nice days and put away for the winter, my goal was to make it look and perform as good as I could afford.

The three speed automatic would be Ford’s reliable C6. The engine is described as a “small block” so it is probably a 302 CID first offered in 1969. They just added them to the hood side and a small red reflector on the side of the bed. Ford designers became creative with the government mandated side reflectors. It also has seldom seen factory air conditioning. This truck has the high end Ranger package which included chrome bumpers, stainless steel trim down the side, and FORD placard across the tailgate. The seller says it “runs and stops.” And just look at nature’s patina on the yellow! No need for paint work. The seller provides many pictures and plenty of information.
