Just picked this gem up from the 2nd owner who purchased it from the original owner in the mid 70s. Its a 1969 F250 Camper Special Ranger, 390 power, auto trans, ps,and pb. Only 108k miles and pretty much all original, with the exception of a recovered seat. Runs great, just replaced the the points, condenser, coil, and cap and rotor. Runs much smoother now but is definatly going to need a carburetor or at least a rebuild of the current one, it has the autolite 2100 with a manual choke. Absolutely in love with it, I have always wanted one of these, think I found a pretty good one. Anyways on to some pics.

 

Great find!! That's one handsome truck.....

 

Mind if I ask how much $$$

 

Nice truck Big Foot!

 

Very nice. I had to replace my carb. It was cheaper than rebuilding it. I had too much damage to it. Was going to be about $160 in parts Paid $200 for a new one on ebay...

 

Very nice score, 69 is my favorite yeatr Those carbs are dead simple to rebuild and I would never give up the original for an over the counter piece of junk "reman" unless a P.O. had butchered it beyond repair.
Make sure all of the vacuum and mechanical advance in the dist is working properly before attacking the carburetor though. All of the old motors manuals have the specs, pretty easy to do but you'll need a good timing light and a hand held vacuum pump.

 

very nice !! is that white or pebble beige ?

 

Very nice!!!

 

For my carb, I didnt have a choice on replacing it. Someone hack sawed the cable attachment on the choke off... Why would anyone do that? I looked everywhere in the country and could not find just that part...

 

I can't pull the pics up at work but congrats on what sounds like a great truck. Now why won't MINE run like that?

My '69 that is identical to yours but refuses to run in "drive" has the same manual Autolite 2100. Why do you think you need a new one or re-build? I re-built mine, and like willowbilly3 says, it was a simple as a rock to do it.

In my case though, it didn't do squat. At least I didn't make it any WORSE!

Congrats and enjoy!

 

That is a nice truck. Congratulations. I dig those F250 hubcaps. I have a set waiting to go on my truck.

 

You didn't look at my house.

 

I wish I knew... It would have been cheaper... Thats what I get for not asking on the board...

Lesson learned....

 

Thanks for the compliments guys, shes a sweetheart of an old truck but a little tinkering is definatly in order. Its a light beige/green color. Paid $2800 for it. As for the carb, the way I have come to the conclusion that it may need a rebuild is after replacing the dizzy components and tweaking the timing with my timing light, it still isnt quite right, hard to start, doesnt operate very smoothly etc. Going to try to clean it and see if I can get a little more lif out of it first. Definatly wont be trading this one in for a crap reman learned that once already with the Holley 1920 on my old Plymouth. Another thing I will be needing to fix is the inop fuel and temp gauge, all the other gauges work flawlessly, but these 2 dont do a thing.

 

$2800 is a steal for that clean of a truck . carb kits are cheap and you can rebuild it blind folded it's so easy .
