i'd really be tempted to install a set of good headers and a nice sounding exhaust, and buy another set of wheels/new set of slightly bigger and more aggressive tires and be done with it. Keep the old set of wheels/tires to throw them back on to be able to keep the "original" factor. nice find you don't know how lucky you are, especially for the money spent!

Very nice looking truck. Good job on the find, glad you could save it. Sounds like the son didn't know/care about what he had, and it very well could have ended up at the junkyard.
Lost a 2wd F250 couple years ago to that.

Oh yeah, forgot to comment on the mileage. 14.31 is great. I doubt many owners get that, so any mods might effect that number negatively. Does it have all the original vucuum hoses and what not?

Yes, it's 100% original under the hood. I will take a few photos tomorrow and post them.

600 Bucks!?!?! You stole that truck! I paid $9K for mine (Restored) What a gorgeous truck and with a four speed to boot! I would leave it stock or at the most tires and rims with a mild lift but everything period correct and numbers matching.
Here's mine when I brought it.
And here it is now.
Send us more pictures of your nice truck!

Here are a few pics under the hood. You can see that it still has the original plug wires and belts on it.

Again I am speechless. How do you sleep at night? What is amazing to me is the condition of the original rubber floormat and the fact that the shift ***** still have the etchings you can read.
You have a real treasure!
