1970 Ford F-100 Pickup
Step Side Short Bed
360 engine with a C6 transmission
Starts and runs great. We recently replaced the battery and installed 4 brand new tires.
The previous owner used this as his daily driver. We bought it back in January and have only used it around the shop to pickup parts etc. We were planning on making it into a cool "shop truck", ut we have too many projects going on now. I hate to see it sit so much so hopefully someone else can get some enjoyment out of it. Besides the tires and battery we have not done a thing to the truck. We bought it from a guy in January. The truck made the two hour trip back with no issues, ut we have probably only put 100 miles on it since then. It cranks up easy every time. It has a newer paint job, ut it has a little rust in it. Nothing I would consider major though. There are some spots on the hood and also in the cab at the kick panels. The previous owner had the engine and trans rebuilt however I don't have the paperwork on it.
The truck has a few issues....the steering has the typical ford "play" in it. We have notattemptedto adjust the steering box. It has manual steering and manual brakes. The tailgate is included but we never installed it. We have new hinges for it, ut the hardware securing the old hinges is broken off and needs to be drilled out. We also have the missing chrome trim off of the hood. Do not expect a show truck but it has some potential. Or just drive it like it is. I am also posting the previous owner's description below. Just FYI. Feel free to call or message with any questions. The truck is located at our shop in Cumberland, A 23040. Feel free to come check it out. Thanks!
Description from the previous owner when we bought it....
Great running shortbed stepside F100.
This truck is driven DAILY and comes with recent Virginia state safety inspection. Engine is a rebuilt 2bbl 360 (no smoke). Transmission is a newly rebuilt c6 auto (just installed with receipts) with all work completed by J&K Auto and Transmission in Marion VA.
The paint is recent and is driver quality but bed was painted later (previous owner switched from fleetside to step side) and is very slightly darker as it is newer than the cab. Some small bubbles can be seen a few places but the truck is very presentable as-is. Bed has new polished strips but wood is not original type and would need replaced for a restoration but again, or a driver it works fine. The tailgate is not installed as shown in pictures but is matching and in good condition and comes with new polished stainless hinges.
The aluminum wheels are in excellent condition.
The truck has lots of other new parts including radiator and complete exhaust from the manifolds back as original. Manual steering and drum brakes all around. Good little truck but does need some work here and there
