New to me 1972 Ford F100 4x2 SB Black
I'm very excited about my new toy added to my stable. I've been looking for one just like this for a very long time. Not hard, just keeping my eyes open. I finally got it. It's a 1972 Ford F100 Ranger 4x2 Shortbed, 390 auto, PS, PB, Black. Black was not offered in 1972 on the trucks, but this one was custom ordered from Ford original in Black. It is in amazing just about original condition other than wheels and tires. No rust. Was originally built in Kansas City and delivered to Denver where it has had two previous owners. It has 108K miles but has obviously always been garaged. The windshield is even original. That is amazing for Colorado. It drives like a dream. Only code that is odd is the interior code. It is an N4. I can find N3 for Red on Red interior, but not N4. Any help there? I even gave up a 1965 Mustang to make the room. But hey, you can find a nice 1965 coupe any day of the week. A truck like this one is hard to come by. I'm looking forward to many years of cruizing enjoyment in this baby!!! My original truck I bought when I was 14 was a 1970 F150 long bed 390 4 speed. That has been gone for many years. So this one is special to me. Here it is:

More pics!
I'm actually partial to the Ranger rear panel rather than the XLT wood grain.
Notice the black dash painted as it came down the line and then mixed with the red steering column.
Factory tubes from exhaust manifold to carb are still present along with charcoal canister and tubes.

Look on the Warranty Plate for the COLOR code. If it was originally painted black, it will be an A
If the truck was painted a non standard color, it would have been a Domestic Special Order, the COLOR code will be blank and the DSO code stamped on the Warranty Plate will have 6 numbers.
In order to discover the Domestic Special Order non standard color, you'll have to contact martiauto.com .. to get a copy of your trucks original build sheet.
N 4: N = Dark Red Vinyl & Dark Red Body Cloth / 4 = Ranger Cab with Styleside Pickup Box.

Black has been available for Ford trucks since day one, so whoever told you this nonsense didn't have a clue.

I'm loving the truck. Every time I take it out, people ask if it's for sale.
