Six Foot Styleside Bed Blue Exterior Odometer Reads 76,000 Miles 360 V-8 Engine 3 Speed Manual Transmission Complete Frame Off Restoration Finished In October 2012 1,000 Miles since Completed History of This Ttruck I purchased the truck in the 1996. I am the third owner. The truck was purchased new in May of 1968 by a man that lived a few miles from me. He had it for about 25 years. After his death his wife sold it to a guy I worked with. He rebuilt the engine and painted the truck. It was originally that Ford Aqua green color. After I purchased the truck I drove it for 3 years It was my daily driver. I took it off the road in the fall of 1999. I started completely dismantling it in December 1999, It took me twelve years to finally get it back on the road in October of 2012. I worked on it when I could, and when I had the money to spare for it. I had it about 75 percent done when a good friend of mine finished, and painted it for me. This truck has had almost every part on it either replaced or reconditioned where needed. It is 90 percent stock. The bed and tailgate are from a different year, I moved the 3 speed column shift to a Hurst 3 speed on the floor. The seat is not covered original. I built it to show and drive. I tried to take a lot of care to prevent any rust from happening underneath. Living in Pennsylvania even though its not out in the weather anymore it doesn''t take much to get started on these trucks. I keep it in a heated garage and baby it.
