The classic 4x4 market is one that is rapidly appreciating and it
is easy to see why. Most of these trucks were used as "work horses"
and were rarely preserved. This is a nice example of a 1970 Ford
F100 4x4. These trucks were commonly referred to as the Ford
High-Boy pickups due to Ford using a divorced transfer case that
caused the front end to sit 4" taller than the rear. To correct
this, Ford installed 4" spacer blocks in the rear suspension to
"level" out the truck, thus giving it its naturally tall ride. This
Ford F100 is powered by a 360 cubic inch V8 and backed by a 4-speed
manual transmission with a floor shifter. The engine runs and
performs just as it should with no sign of misfire or hesitation.
The 4 speed transmission shifts through the gears just as it should
as well. This truck has an awesome V8 sound delivered by the true
dual exhaust. This truck not only drives excellent, but also
handles the road great with the added installation of a steering
damper and coilover shocks in the rear. This Ford also benefits
from a lot of recent maintenance totaling $5000 in receipts
including: lubrication of the front hubs, servicing the transfer
case, new U-joints on the front axle, new brake lines, all new
brakes, all new wheel seals, all new wheel cylinders, new
thermostat, and new tires. The Yellow exterior of the truck is in
good, driver condition and shines well. The body of this great
truck is very solid and straight with the exception of some rust in
one crossmember under the cab. The body, also, appears to be very
original with no signs of major bodywork. The interior of the truck
is in driver condition with some minor flaws. The seat and dash pad
are in great shape with no cracking or splits in either. If you are
looking for a very solid and original truck that runs and drives
just like it should, then you will want to take a close look at
this one!
