Vehicle Description
1968 Ford F100 Pickup
The current F-series as we know it has been the bestselling truck
for 39 consecutive years and for 34 of those years it was the
best-selling vehicle overall in America. Believe it or not, it
wasn't until 1959 that the original F-100 got factory four-wheel
drive. And last but not least the front bumper was the longest
running unchanged component for the entire F-series from 1959-1979.
WOW!
For consignment a very nice and very cool truck right out of 1968.
Lots of nice trim even on the bed top rails, decent exterior paint
with slight markings from everyday usage, but certainly nothing
terrible, and a nice interior bottomed off by set of snazzy 15-inch
chromed wheels and all season radial tires.
Exterior
Spending its life in Georgia, this truck has no rust, straight
panels and a few areas of paint scratches and surface markings, but
it is from wholesome use. Nice trim runs the length of the truck
and it's on the midline as wells the rockers and wheel well
surrounds. A well preserved front grille and bumper are leading the
way. Bringing up the rear is another nice bumper, and a badged
tailgate with a trim surround and aluminum plate in the center.
Chrome tipped 2.5-inch exhaust tips peek out from below. The bed
remains nice, and again has had some use, but nothing remarkable. A
sliding rear window is noted as are nicely chromed exterior mirrors
hanging from either side. 15-inch chromed wheels are wrapped by
Cooper Discovery HT tires.
Interior
Climbing past nice door panels with a rectangular embossed design
in black we climb into the tuck and roll velour inserted seats in
black with smooth gray vinyl bolsters. This bench is very nice with
no tears or even wear showing. A look to the original dash and it
has a wonderful yellowing to the white plastic surround which goes
nicely with the exterior matching dash front. The dash top is crack
free padded black vinyl. Black carpet in good condition floods the
floor. Above a white vented vinyl makes up the headliner.
Drivetrain
A 360ci V8 which is original to this truck powers a 3-speed manual
transmission with the help of a Holley 2-barrel carburetor. A Ford
9-inch 3.50 geared rear puts power to the blacktop.
Undercarriage
This truck shows very well underneath with only hints of surface
rust on the frame and suspension components. Dual exhaust with
glasspack style mufflers expel burnt fossils to the rear of the
truck. 4-wheel drum brakes are also noted. Nice and tidy would
describe the undercarriage best.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and smooth idler, a tickle of the gas pedal and
were off! This truck runs very nicely, shifts smoothly, corners
nicely, and has a fairly smooth ride. The interior is comfortable,
which is to be expected because Ford had the theory that their
trucks were workers on the outside, but car-like interiors would
rule.
A good working example of the F-100, certainly not perfect, but
it's a truck that works! No trailer queen here, just a worker in
classic form. Well running, and snazzy looking, thanks to the
south, and their lack of using salt when it may occasionally snow.
