Decked out in sweet orange paint and looking well put together from
all angles, this 1968 Ford F-100 is a great take on its
manufacturer's pivotal classic pickup. Its shortbed configuration
gives it a robust, capable appearance and it rolls on a set of
sharp 20" American racing wheels that add just the right amount of
aftermarket flair. Take a lap around this vintage Ford, and you'll
likely be impressed by the condition of its chrome bumpers and trim
and how its doors, hood and tailgate shut. A close inspection will
reveal fresh, pliable weatherstripping that's still up to the
challenge of keeping the elements from intruding, and clear glass
surrounds the cabin.
The interior remains largely in factory configuration and really
presents well. The steel surrounding the doors and on the dash has
been color-matched to the exterior and the red vinyl bench seat is
still in full possession of its padding to offer plenty of comfort,
even for longer journeys. Up front, the dash hosts an assembly of
easily readable gauges in the instrument cluster that are joined by
a secondary trio mounted directly below. The added AM/FM stereo has
an auxiliary port, so you aren't likely to run out of audio options
while you're behind the wheel.
Beneath the hood, the engine bay is in clean shape, with a
302-cubic-inch Windsor V8 at its center. It's a member of a class
of small blocks that have a great reputation for dependability and,
true to form, this one, fed by a two-barrel Holley carburetor, is
running strong, firing up on command and pulling with plenty of
enthusiasm as it pairs with a 3-speed automatic C4 transmission
that shifts smoothly. The surrounding inner fenders, firewall and
radiator support look reassuringly solid for plenty more years of
service, and the addition of an upgraded aluminum radiator helps
keep operating temperatures under control. Power steering makes for
easy maneuvering, while power brakes that position discs up front
bring this classic ride to dependable, low effort stops.
