1962 F-100 unibody shorty 223 six with 3spd OD on the tree. All original CA truck except the transmission (purchased without it) and the rust. I even had the orig wheels minus dog bowl hubcaps until someone helped themselves to them from the bed of the truck (Dohh! Karma will surely find that guy when he least expects it). I won't know 'til after I drive it but I think I'd rather have a '66 camper special.

F-100 Custom Cab

3 on the tree
2WD
Original NorCal black plate truck, and everything mechanical appears to be original. If the PO is to be believed, I'm the 3rd owner. Very little rust! I think the leaf springs were replaced at some point because it rides pretty high.

Minimal rust....will replace with new steel where needed
Restoring to orginal specs throughout

This beautiful truck when restored and then sold will help me for the purchace of the bus
Good to be here and talking to you all
I will be asking between 15 to 20k when completed and it will be well worth it and a collectors item for a new owner

Year model - 1964
F-100
Vin - F10BR490915
Styleside
262-6
4 speed Warner T-98. Dana Spicer 60-2 rear end - 4:11 ratio.
Color - Academy Blue and White
160,000 miles - motor rebuild 10,000 miles ago. Runs great - milage bad (10 mpg or less) - that is due to the big damn rear end, which I may change out. After two king pin jobs - I finally discovered I have a bad axle - the eye hole is warped from previous owner driving it for years on loose king pins. Expensive lesson that I paid. Currently working on sway bars, need brake rebuild - most likely will go with front disks. Eventually power steering, move the gas tank out of the cab. then a new paint job.
Texas Truck - previous the Klamath mountains of Oregon. Rust? I have heard of that. That orange stuff right??
