thanks Wiily, I saw it 4 years ago and have been waiting. The wait was worth it.

The 4 year wait would be hard but in this case really worth it. Congrats and many happy smiles with this mint Ford!

Good Lord that's beautiful. Did the camper come with it? If so, what's it look like inside?

Very nice truck, great find.

If it only has 32000 on it, you have a rare one. My '72 showed 31000 on the odometer when I bought it. I'm quite sure it would have said 131000 if it was able. sometimes you cant go by the brake pedal, lots of highway miles doesnt require a lot of braking. hopefull the owner gave you the straight scoop. Mine was a one owner from CA. original invoice for 4 wheeler XLT was about 4 grand. Good find for you.

I will post a picture of the camper, it did come with the truck. We will sell the camper because we have a vintage 1969 Excel Travel Trailer that we will color match with the truck.

(this is just one photo from the album)

I don't need to tell anyone that I am estatic over getting this truck. I will use 100% OE Ford parts and make this truck shine like the day they took delivery.

It is 32k miles. I have some state inspection papers from the past to verify mileage. I have kown the family since before they bought the truck. I remember seeing it when it when they had only had it for about 1 or 2 weeks.
