1971 Ford F100 Pickup;
Short wheel base, flareside.
240 CID-Inline 6;
3 speed column shift;
Ford light-duty transmission;
The Good:
Ford twin-I-Beam suspensions completely overhauled with new king pings, new pivot arm bushings, new radius arm bushings;
Front aligned within the last 2K miles (have only driven it about 3500 miles since acquiring it in March 2014);
Manual drum brakes upgraded to power front disc brakes, rear drum brakes;
New brake lines;
New master cylinder;
New front shocks;
New manual steering gear;
New U-Joints;
Rear end rebuilt and painted;
Goodyear Wrangler tires have about 3000 miles on them;
Pertronix ignition installed in 2014;
Coil replaced in 2014;
New rag joint;
Seat is in good condition;
All lights work properly;
1 barrel carb rebuilt;
New shackle bolts on rear end;
New tail light assemblies;
Much of frame has been treated with Por 15;
truck is street legal.
No major dents.
The Bad:
Rust - driver's and passenger's floorboards need replacing; cab corners need replacing/repairing; dash needs repair/replacement; kick
panels on both sides need repair/replacement;
Engine - 240 needs a valve job (at least). Has good compression on back four cylinders but not as good on front two. Smokes on start-up.
Etc.
While, I will not include with price the following parts are available if pickup is sold.
Dorman EFI-style exhaust manifold for 240/300 Six;
Ford-Saginaw Power steering gear;
Ford power steering pump and bracket (for the 240/300);
Ford C-4 transmission;
Rebuilt steering column for automatic with power steering;
Complete grille for 1968 F100 (painted - in pretty good shape).
