Hence the reason I am asked by friends and others to look at oldies they are thinking about,,, and when I sell something, I am as clear as can be and show pictures or point out everything I know of and see,,,
Others as we can see and have seen before, are "misinformed/ignorant or just flat out dis-honest!"
Still likin the Lowrider digs!!

However a little amusement from that Moped guy, what's his name? Oh yeah, "NewHuffy" is always welcome.
He's just not cool enough to be in a lowrider.

Some peeps are so dense, the only wood...is located between their ears.
Robert, just wait till Arthur arrives, then have fun getting in/out of your lowrider without having to take a bottle of Aleve beforehand.
You may need a cherry picker to get in/out, a pogo stick might be a useful accessory to have...just in case.

Qwist on a bicycle! How dense can someone be? All this person had to do, was look underneath...at the ribbed STEEL bed floorpan. Where, pray tell is there any sign of wood?

That's the reason for this thread, If people believe what is said to them by a "Used car salesperson" then they deserve to get ripped. If they read this thread, then their getting educated.
Now back to the picture.
"The interior is origainal except for the seat and steering wheel."
What about the horn button or the gauges? The radio/stereo is not original. What lies beneath the radio? A huge hole I'm betting.

In all fairness, since most younger fellows have never really seen what an original looks like, they may not be aware that these trucks have a ribbed metal bed. They may think they are all supposed to drag the ground and have pointy steering wheels.
I, for one, think that is a great look, and I have already pointed out how it can be skillfully used to conceal many faults, not that anyone on this board would ever do so.
And, I myself have been guilty of being misinformed and frankly, have on more than one occasion, mistook a truck for a low-rider, only to find out it just had worn out old saggy springs and shocks.
If I can make that kind of mistake, then should we not judge harshly someone who simply does not know?
I agree we are here to inform and educate, and I tip my hat to anyone committed to that same goal no matter what his truck looks like!

I DID NOT come to this abuse. I thought you all were helpfull until I saw my truck being ripped up here. You guys think you know everything that you see.You wouldnt know original if it came out from between your butt cheeks. I've been on this forum for a long time and have always helped others when I can as much as I could. My wife dont talk to me this way and we are married. You Moorons can pound salt.I am out of here 
In an earlier post I apologized for using this truck as a tutorial if you will regarding purchasing a truck which is not what the owner claims.
When I asked the question regarding the flat piece of steel used on the bed floor, you/they informed me it was because the wood was damaged so it was replaced with steel.
As the picture clearly shows the bottom of the floor was steel ribbed originally and never was a wood floor I think you should tell the truth about this vehicle.
If you got your feelings hurt and your panties are in a bunch over this thread, then it would serve you well to list an accurate description of your for sale vehicle. I apologized once and I won't apologize again. Not for exposing the truth about this truck.
It's people like you who take advantage of the un-informed and laugh all the way to the bank, while some kid will spend lots of money trying to fix all the rust and oddball parts just trying to get it back to original. You Sir should apologize. Re-write your listing honestly and give answers to questions accurately. You see, when you lie to someone that knows a little bit about these trucks you will be exposed. Watch who you lie to.

Just ask the guy that owns the truck. The simulated wood grain steering wheel appears to be from a 1965/66 Mustang. No Ford truck ever came with a wood steering wheel, simulated or otherwise.
1961/70 F100/250 2WD / 1966/70 F100 4WD / 1967/70 F250 2WD/4WD & F350: The original plastic steering (same as 1960/63 Falcon/Comet) wheel has three spokes.
I bought a 1965 F100 brand new, was a Ford partsman for 35 years (1962/97). So I know what is original and what is not. I'd be willing to bet you know very little about originality. For example...
Styleside w/a wood bed floor? Uh huh, yeah right. NO SUCH THING.And, speaking of originality, the Styleside tailgate on this truck is C7TZ-9940700-A = 1967/72 F100/350.
The 1964/66 original is C4TZ-9940700-A .. Does not have the raised ovate scallop line surrounding the FORD letters that C7TZ-9940700-A does.
