Please only bid what you can afford to pay.This is my 1968 Ford F100 Custom Cab fleetside short wheel base pickup. The title is free and clear. 100% complete. This pickup truck has the V8 engine with the manual transmission. When I bought this Ranger awhile back I was told it was a 390 engine. The Vin# says it is a 360 engine. I am 1st and foremost a Chevy man. However, y big cousin had a 1969 F100 with a 390 in it and hewould do a doughnut like it was nothing anywhere at anytimeif anyone challenged him. This Ford caught my eye because it looks just like his. I had to put it in my project collection. I should have tried to start it along time ago. This truck was removed from an old home place. This is a complete truck that was parked near the barn and hasn't been driven since 2003. It will be hard to beat if you are looking for a complete unmolested F100 to restore. We can't find the key so the switch will need replacing, t will need a new battery, nd I think the master cylinder will need replacing. It will need brake work. It does run. I just got home about 30 minutes ago, ut a battery in it, ubbed some sandpaper between the point connections, isconnected the fuel pump, nd ran a hot wire from the battery to the coil and solenoid. She fired right up. The old gas in the tank should be removed. It has a Holley 4 barrel carb. I will redo that process first thing tomorrow and let you know if she is smoking or not.I noticed no smoke tonight.I will also put it top dead center and determine if it is the original 360 or the 390 that I was told it was when I bought the truck for restoration. Oh yeah, he cab corners look really good, nd there is some rust in the hood. Please see the photos or come view this truck. I will assist you or your transporter at pickup.

I have filled the carburetor's front bowl up with gas several time and I am happy to report that this truck isn't smoking at all. There is no blow by smoke coming out of the oil fill hole either. She runs quiet. I also have determined that the fuel pump seems to be the reason this truck was parked years ago. I ran a line from a gas can to the fuel pump and it isn't working. She pulls off strong in every gear. The brake situation makes it difficult to move ittoo far. I made an attempt to try and determine whether or not it is a 390 engine or a 360 engine.I was told it was a 390, ut after researching the differences online I have learned that it is hard to tell the difference. Everything on this truck looks original to me. The Holley cab and the tie down braces on the side of the bed are the only items I have noticed that aren't original.I am not a Ford specialist so let's assume it is the original 360. It runs good. We can't find the key. You will need to replace the ignition switch or consult a locksmith. You will need to fix the brakes. You will also need to replace the fuel pump. Bid to win. High bidder gets the truck. Thanks!
