This 1972 Ford F250 Highboy was purchased new in Lewiston, Idaho
and has remained in the same family the whole time. We were told
the 36,856 these are the true original miles to the vehicle since
it was used sparingly and stored indoors a-lot, especially
recently. The truck was purchased from the original owners
grandson. We have all the documentation which includes the owners
manual to the protective plate. There is a warranty registration
notice from Lou Bell Motors that is dated June 9 1972. The build
sheet was found underneath the seat and was laminated The original
owner passed away in 1987 and the truck remained with the widow.
The grandson would use the truck to help his grandmother out doing
things like yard work, hauling off the trash and odds and ends
around the house for her. The truck was always parked under a
carport or in the shop. Since 1987 the truck has only had around
4000 miles put on it. The body on this truck is very straight and
solid with no rust except for in the bed of the truck. There are no
holes and the bed is solid. The Light Goldenrod paint is original
and has a lot of cool patina and the truck looks great in person
and the paint is in amazing condition! The underside is also
original and very clean. It is untouched and not painted and looks
amazing for a truck this age. Again, no rot or rust on this truck,
just patinal and surface rust.
This truck was purchased to be used sparingly as they had a camper
that they haul in the bed and was used for the chores around the
house. There are two small dings in truck. One in the tailgate and
one in driver side bed. The truck had saddle gas tanks put in and
the grandson informed us that he is never put fuel in them so I
believe that they are non-functional at this moment. The truck has
been parked for the past 11 years in a storage shed when not used.
The interior is original and stock except for the recovered Bench
Seat and a dash cap because original dash has cracks in it. All of
the lights, gauges, wipers, heat are working. The vehicle is
equipped with hanging in dealer installed air conditioning and
comes with the paperwork on how to operate it. The Air conditioning
is all there and is functional. Horn is not working. The only other
thing not original are the rims on this truck. When new tires were
put on they would not install the tires on the original split rims
so new rims were purchased.
This truck still has the original 360 V8 motor and it runs
fantastic. It is very smooth and has no red flags that popped up.
No smoke and it starts easy. The transmission is the NP435 Manual
and it is mated to the DANA 24 Transfer Case. All of the 4WD
functions properly. Rear Axle is a DANA 60 and this truck has 3.73
Gears. When we drove this truck it drove great and was fun to
drive. Because there are not a lot of miles it was still very
tight. This era of highboy is really appreciating and to find a
survivor like this is getting very hard to find.
