Vehicle Description
From the two-tone paint, to the interior, to the motor - this 1981
Ford F-100 is terrific lesson in survivor-grade honesty. So whether
you had a truck like this or your family had one, you're looking at
an affordable way to capture some memories - and make some new
ones.
The silver and blue look factory original. It's not perfect, but it
has the exact level of preservation that will strike you as
perfect. After all, this is from the era when the family pickup
went to work, and so this one has earned its keep on occasion. But
the way the two-tone is intricately put together also reminds you
that dad wanted a little style on the weekends, too. After all, the
way the blue is laid out using the sheet metal creases and trim as
dividing borders with the silver is the kind of intricate style we
haven't seen since the '60s. Plus, we love the way the blue returns
on the roof, and there's even double pin striping! Ford really took
their time painting this truck, so it's only fair that it remains
this original today. Plus, chrome bumpers, bright bed rails, and
upgraded 15-inch wheels make for plenty of extra shine on this
special pickup.
Inside is a true time machine all dressed in blue. It starts with
the bench seat that has comfortable blue velour for where you sit
and durable vinyl for the high traffic areas. The dash is
absolutely period-correct, and you've got all the right features,
including the AM/FM radio and provisions for air conditioning. With
the original dual-spoke steering wheel in your left hand, and the
gear stick in your right, this provides the kind of classic
motoring that only a well-preserved vintage pickup can.
And speaking of preservation, you're going to love the engine bay.
The 4.9-liter (300ci) inline six is believed to be original to the
truck. And it certainly looks the part, right down to its bold blue
block and factory-correct decals. This isn't a speed demon of a
power plant, but it's also no slouch (remember, the Mustang of this
era is famous for its 302ci motor.) What this allows for is plenty
of torque to get the job done, and thanks the control of the
four-speed manual transmission, it's also quite fun to drive around
town. Plus, there's power steering and front disc brakes, so this
classic pickup is also a great any time cruiser.
This is rolling nostalgia offered for an affordable price. So do
