Here's a rolling bit of classic Americana and you can put it in
your garage at a very attainable price. This 1968 Ford F-100
Stepside is filled to the brim with nostalgia-inducing power - with
one quick glance you'll easily be able to picture it tooling along
the less crowded roads of yesteryear as it faithfully performs its
duties. It's a great looking work truck and it runs surprisingly
well, so whether you decided to drive it as is or turn it into a
top-notch ride, there'll be no need to wait before getting behind
the wheel and enjoying yourself.
The F-100s of this era had such a "can do" look to them, with their
forward inclined front ends suggesting that they could hardly
contain themselves before rolling out and getting things done. The
light blue exterior on this '68, with its contrasting white side
stripes, front grille and bumpers really captures that spirit well
- it provides a very sharp yet factory appearance and, while the
paint could use a bit of refinement to bring out its best, this is
a very appealing pickup and is in possession of plenty of curb
appeal just as it is. The roof mounted lights and chrome "West
Coast" side mirrors add even more workmanlike spirit and the
overall exterior alignment on this vintage Ford looks pretty strong
- its cab transitions smoothly to the stepside bed area in back and
there are nice, consistent lines surrounding its doors and hood.
Take a lap around this venerable ride and you'll see that there are
no exterior fittings missing in action - everything sits securely
in place, and while there's room for a little touching up here and
there, all of it can be done at no detriment to enjoying your time
behind the wheel.
Inside the doors, everything remains in thoroughly factory
configuration - climb in and you'll see that this driving
environment looks just as it did when this truck first reported for
duty. You could easily take your position behind the wheel, turn
the ignition key and get on the road with things currently in their
present state and, should you decide to improve the look around
you, there's a very strong foundation to build upon. The bench seat
shows some cracking, but still carries plenty of padding for
comfort while on the road, and the dash area just beyond the
sizable stock steering wheel is still solid and level. The factory
gauges inside its instrument cluster appear to function as intended
and in back, the bed area wears a sturdy diamond plate metal liner
and matching partition to protect the rear wall of the cab - a very
cool feature.
Very much in keeping with this vehicle's authentic look, the engine
compartment remains in its stock configuration, with its collection
of factory components in view. The 300 cubic inch inline 6 that
powers this classic still wears its period-correct 2-barrel
carburetor and seems to be in very healthy running condition as it
teams with a 3-speed manual transmission that shifts with no
issues. A collection of maintenance receipts back up the care that
the truck has received and there's also a new-looking fuel pump and
master cylinder on hand inside to increase its real world
reliability as it rolls out to take care of business on its
fresh-looking stock 15" wheels outfitted with Futura Super Sport
GLS tires in front and Winston Winner A/T in back.
This 1968 Ford F-100 Stepside is a sharp looking vintage workhorse
and its strong foundation and low price represent a seldom-seen
opportunity. Call today!
