The truck is my daily driver and I had fun doing the restore. I’ve decided that since I am in college and have bills I should sell my pride and joy “Vidalia.”

I purchased this truck from the original owner in November of 2010. I have the factory/dealer paperwork to include:

Owner card/pre delivery service record

Consumer truck camper loading document

Original dealer (Arizona) temporary registration plate

1984 Ford truck owner’s booklet

4 wheeling with Ford owner’s manual/pamphlet

Original warranty pamphlet

Original Uniroyal tire replacement pamphlet

Original cruise control documents

Original insurance document dated 06/27/1984

Original window sticker sheet

1984 Ford truck operating guide

Original Earnhardt’s dealer, sales representative card

Original Carlite glass replacement rebate pamphlet

Original pamphlet/information book plastic storage bag

Factory build/options sheet

I’ve also got most of the original owner receipts, emissions reports, as well as registration and title information sheets.

It appears that the original owner was a Ford employee as referenced by the paperwork having his Ford employee id number on them.


Nice custom edition in 1984 which allowed the purchaser to cherry pick the best options from all of the models (xl, xlt, lariat, etc.) 8500 GVW.
It has a rare, retractable under hood light. Map pockets on the bottom of the doors. Captain's chairs with center console. Rear bench seat that folds down flat into a "bed." or storage area. Rare, uncracked, unfaded dash pad. (not a cap or a cover.)

Power Steering and brakes.

Manual windows and locks.

Has a tach, trip and odometer which reads a bit under 37k


In the ten months that I have owned Vidalia, I have done an extensive amount of work.


What’s been done:
New Holley 4160 600cfm carb, electric choke, with vacuum secondaries.

I’ve got all my receipts, in total about 4 or five inches thick. In addition to the previous owner paperwork.
The left side captains chair has a tear on the underside of the left arm rest, its along the seam and about 3 inches in length. Otherwise the chairs and good with no wear, or breakdown.

The ignition switch rods are worn (common on these years). Simply rotate the switch forward a bit.
Couple of small paint scratches/chips but nothing major.


Interior is black, exterior is International Flame Red (Red orange type color) with rhinoline for the lower rocker panels, and center door stripe, with custom barbwire pinstripe above the fender stripe.

Overall its a solid truck, as referenced by the almost 400-800 man hours or more spent on it. I would venture about 100 hours on the interior alone. The truck could use some fine tuning on the carburetor, and timing if you out for optimal performance. The truck does have AC, the selector switch works, but the pump has no belt on it, never bothered to investigate more as I don't use forced ac, only 4-60 (four windows at 60 mph) AC. I have cruise control parts, servo, switch, lines etc(not sure on condition). I pulled them when I purchased the vehicle because I never use cruise control, only need my brain and right foot. I've got the factory air pump, lines, fittings and hoses I will include. I've got a spare grill, maybe some headlight surrounds, factory tail lights, and harness. I've got a set of 1984 factory shop manuals for this year that cover engine, trans, brakes, electrical, emissions (although this is exempt being 8500 pounds so it has none)

It gets a 56 on Auto Check.

I want $4000OBO with my flatbed, and I will take less if the buyer just wants a cab and chassis.

 

Send me an offer here guys worst I can say is no. Got bills I have to pay.

 

bump for a good truck with price drop.

 

beautiful truck. I'll ask around.

 

I've got a turbo 6.9 dana 60 solid gearvendors 0d 5speed and king ranch interior swap maybe harley davidson. Got most of the parts aquired and will be keeping it if I do all that in addition to what I've done
