"'69 Ford pickups work like trucks, ride like cars, give you better
ideas all around. The first time you drive a Ford pickup, you'll be
impressed by its car-like smoothness. You'll like the way the
Twin-I Beam front suspension flattens out bumps and keeps the front
end steadier and more level, even on panic stops." From the 1969
sales brochure.
For consignment, a 1969 Ford F100 long bed pickup showing 65,386
miles, but the true miles are unknown. If we had to list the top
five hot genres in the classic car market, certainly vintage pickup
trucks, be them stock or resto-modded, would be on that list.
Exterior
Not all that different from the spec used in the sales brochure in
1969, this Candy Apple Red over Wimbledon White is a stunner,
demonstrating the common two tone and often three level stacking of
contrasting colors on pickup trucks, here delineated by polished
molding. This two stage paint shines bright and 15-inch white
painted steel wheels with hubcaps keep things original looking
while the rear bumper is also white under the bright white paint of
the stamped FORD name on the tailgate. The handsome face of this
truck is dressed in polished metal, from the straight chrome bumper
to the grille and headlight bezels that integrate amber turn
signals just below. A solid rear window overlooks a clean painted
bed. Overall, trim and paint is excellent. Imperfections include
chips and scuffs on the hood, discoloration on a quarter panel, and
thin scratches on the chrome bumper.
Interior
The glossy red door card is surrounded by a corral of black trim,
and outside of that is more red and both doors present cleanly. A
black grain vinyl bench with black piping looks new, complemented
by red seatbelts. The red steering wheel gleams along with its
silver horn ring and fronts a horizontal instrument cluster in a
black and silver oval design, all under black dash pad contrasting
with the shiny red dash that almost appears wet and houses an AM
radio. Rubber matting covers the floor along with F100 branded
carpeted mats and a black vinyl headliner is up above and like the
exterior, the interior is show worthy.
Drivetrain
And the show continues under the hood where a spotless 302ci V8
resides, putting out 205 horsepower and fueled by a 2-barrel
carburetor. It's three on the tree for this manual and power is
routed to the Ford 9" in back with 3.50 gears.
Undercarriage
It's more driver quality underneath with there's some surface rust
and some oil on the pan and crossmember. Beyond that, things are
relatively clean. Four wheel drum brakes are on hand and suspension
consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in back. A
single exhaust runs through a FlowMaster muffler and exits through
a tip behind the right rear tire.
Drive-Ability
Imagine you're picking up your brand new 1969 long bed! That's
exactly what this feels like and back in the day, this was as clean
as it was ever going to be. The trusty 302 comes to life without
hesitation and propels this good looking truck around the test loop
with ease. It's just all around good with nice acceleration, great
visibility, and straight tracking. Other than the radio, all
functions work as intended and we roll this one back into the mall
where you'll find it in one of the two truck rooms. While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
A stunner, not much else to say. The truck speaks for itself.Its
working days are over and this pampered pickup will need nothing
more than the turn of a key when you want to head to cruise night
or the next car/truck show.
