1975 Ford F-250 Description
For sale: Rare Ford F350 extended wheelbase (140") Super Camper Special. These trucks had many unique features, from the cool in-bed side spare tire carrier to Dana 70 rear and big brakes. I purchased this from the 2nd owner, truck was sold new at Woodfield Ford in Schaumberg, IL but thankfully came out west when it was near new, never seen salt. Original survivor truck that shows 65k miles, per previous owner says that is correct and that mileage was stated on title. Marti Report says only one of 16 in this color combo, which is pure 1970s. I get compliments every where I go in it. Great truck to putt down to the Home Depot for a load of boards, or cruise to the Steak and Shake with the wife.
Exterior: Original paint still shines, looks good and will draw rubberneckers at the gas pump. Paint is thin on hood and roof, giving it just a touch of patina. Straight old truck with the typical chips and dings from use, most notably the passenger front fender and tailgate. A couple of small holes in the box rails from camper mount. See linked Photobucket album for detail pics including underside. 99 percent rust free with only small surface rust spots on the exterior and inside bed, no rot. Underneath floors and rockers look good, couple small spots on cab mounts, treat those areas with metal ready and POR-15 and should be good. Chrome in good condition with no pitting. Grille surround in good condition so there's $600 you don't have to spend. Glass is good and windshield is new.
Interior: Original good driver condition, presents well. A few cracks in dash under mat, and original seat has tears under seat cover, seat is firm and not broken down. Headliner in good condition, original carpet has a hole the size of a 50 cent piece under the cup holder console. Most everything works, see function list below. As is typical with these trucks, steering column shift collar is cracked and loose, it's a $29 part from LMC and about an hour and a half to install. Aftermarket stereo is brand new with AUX and MP3. Door panels in good condition but screws were added and map pocket is torn on driver side. Good overall condition and ready to use as is.
Mechanical: Starts, runs, and drives out well. Original 360 pulls strong with no noticeable noises or smoke. Drives smooth and truck has a nice tight low mile feel to it. This truck sat for a while, fuel soured in rear tank so running off front tank with switch bypassed. If you want to use rear tank it will need to be drained and reconnected to tank switch. I took the truck to a professional mechanic and had it checked over before driving it. Does have an engine oil leak that will leave spots on garage floor overnight, mechanic thinks it's coming from oil filter adapter. Most everything working, see function list below. Factory 4.10 gears are great for pulling but it's not an interstate highway cruiser. 10 ply 16 inch tires have maybe a summer of tread left. If you want a set of the original style 16.5 inch Super Single wheels, there are some in the local boneyards here and I could arrange to get a set for the buyer. As is typical with this era Ford truck, the temp gauge reads on the high side, but mechanic verified with laser temp sensor that it's not running hot. Overall truck is in very good condition for the year and it's one of the nicest old trucks I've owned. As with all vintage vehicles, plan on some sorting as you drive and enjoy.
Pricing/Misc: Hard to find comps as these trucks are rare, I found a comparable truck with 69k original for $10k. NADA shows average retail at $14,300. Reserve here is well under $5k for quick sale.
LINK TO ADDITIONAL PICS INCLUDING UNDERSIDE (copy and paste) - pics in this online album, just ask if you need more. Photobucket site is clunky with many popups, just close them all and you should see pics. May want to use the firefox browser. I'm looking for a new hosting site currently.

Montana title isclear with no liens in my name.After the sale, I can store the truck for up to 30 days free, after that $100 per month storage will be due.
