Hi. I'm new to this forum; I just bought a 1964 F-100.

It's a 292 V8 with a 4 speed, 2wd longbed. It is a very solid South Dakota truck; no rust except for some very minor "pitina" on the hood and roof, and on some scratches in the bed. The truck is completely original, down to the battery cables. The OD reads 22,000 miles; The guy I bought it off of swears that this is the original mileage but I guess it could be 122,000 - who knows (the title doesn't have mileage on it). The interior is in great shape though, and the steering and gearbox seem to be fairly tight, so maybe it really is a low mileage truck. I'm sure it needs a tune-up and some new gas, but I was able to drive it home (probably needs a carb re-build too). I gave $2600 for it...not sure if that is a good deal or not, but its hard to find a rust free truck in Ohio and I really wanted this truck (I am a Ford fanatic).

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself - I am looking forward to getting this old truck back into good running condition.

Hi and Welcome to FTE! sounds like a really nice find, And you prolly paid a fair price for it.

 

Welcome and Congratulations to a fellow 64 owner! Sounds like a nice truck at a reasonable price. Looking forward to seeing pics.


1964 F100 Shortbed w/223 "6" and granny 4 speed
In progress upgrades: Lincoln 302 w/AOD, power steering, disc brakes and air conditioning (it get's hot here in LA)

 

The brake and clutch pedals will give an indication on if the odometer has been rolled over. 22,000 miles won't have much wear on them but 122,000 will. Welcome to FTE sounds like a good deal at 122,000 and a better one at 22,000.

 

Thanks! I'll take a good look at those pedals.

 

As others have posted; welcome aboard; sounds like you got yourself a great Slick there. That's a fair to both side price; post your vin dataplate, we'll decode your complete info on your 64. Looking forward to some pic's as well. Again welcome.

Welcome to FTE! I think you'll enjoy your stay and learn quite a bit here.

If you picked up that truck at 22,000, DAMN! At 122,000 that's still a pretty good deal. We're looking forward to the pics!

 

Welcome, I have only been here a short time myself, alot of good info here. Shoot I am still looking through the old post and learn something every time I look.

 

OK - I checked out those pedals; they look pretty good - some minor wear, but nothing like my T-bird that has 100K miles.

I have pics but I'm not sure how to post them. I'll try to get them up today.

 

OK -I couldn't figure out how to get the pics in the message body, but I did create a photo album:

Looks pretty good, straight and solid! With a little work that truck will look nice.

 

you did pretty good...seat insert material doesnt look original, but the floor mat looks pretty darn good...good thing as I dont think they are being repopped like that style.

Hi
Sounds Like A Find . Looking Forward To New Picts.
Got To Get Some New Ones Of My TRUCK UP.

Welcome To Our Growing Group !

 

Yeah, I thought that seat looked suspicious...It also has some plastic on each side that snaps onto the hinge. It's the only plastic I have found on the whole truck (not counting bakelite *****). I didn't think they used plastic on trucks back then.
