Vehicle Description
One look at this 1964 Ford F-350 Stakebed dually and we know that
you have plenty of plans. Is it a cool way to promote your
business? The most genuine truck you can bring to the farm? A great
way to take around your other toys? Of course, this authentic but
useful truck is ideal for all that fun and more.
There's a pretty cool history that we're told on this truck. The
truck's name is Clyde Earl because that's the name of the first
owner. He earned a connected legacy to this Ford because he cut
down black walnut wood from his property and took the lumber to his
local dealer for them to create this stake side bed before he took
the truck home brand new. Today we know an F-350 from the 1960s is
quite a rare sight. These extra-duty trucks were usually used up in
service, and so far fewer are seen today. Its useful nature can be
seen in the work-ready features like the dual rear wheels, HD
wheels, larger towing mirrors, and cab running lights. You could
update the finish, or even give the chrome grille a nice polish,
but we really like how this one already is. It's the honest style
you expect from a truck like this that gives it instant
credibility. In fact, the dents in the cab are from when a barn
fell on it a few years ago in a tornado. Not only did Clyde Earl
survive, but it also cleaned up the barn that fell on it when the
storm cleared. That kind of authentic robustness rarely comes up
for sale.
The authentic feeling continues inside. It's hard not to love
sitting behind the large three-spoke steering wheel and letting
your right hand rest on the tall shifter. You instantly feel like
you're taking your load to market. The rugged rubber floor, smooth
steel dash, and sparse/airy atmosphere are all part of a true
classic truck experience. But you will also notice they took the
time to keep it clean and make it comfortable, including the cool
pattern in the smooth bench seat.
The 292 cubic-inch V8 was one of the largest motors across the Ford
lineup in 1964, so it's great to have it powering this industrial
machine. It looks quite honest everywhere from the aged Ford valve
covers to the factory decal on the air grabber. So it fits well
with the authentic feeling of this truck. Another key to the
truck's usefulness is the four-speed manual transmission. The
"granny" low first gear means utilizing plenty of torque from the
start, so this stake bed truck can get going even when under a
load.
Complete with the owner's manual, It's hard not to get excited by a
genuine farm truck like this. You could stencil your brand new
company's name on the side, and it would look like you were in
business for generations. Or maybe you put some custom Harleys on
the back to let those have a cool contrast with shining chrome and
metallic paint. Oh yeah, we know your mind is racing with all the
fun you can have with this classic stake-side flatbed, and so you
need to be the first to grab this deal. Call today!!!
