I thought everyone may have fun tearing this one apart. Pretty wild claims on this one.

Ford : F-100: eBay Motors (item 170489211845 end time May-30-10 22:03:11 PDT)

 

I would be pretty upset if I spent 5,000 bucks on my engine and it looked like that with only 3,000 miles. I do not see 8,0000 dollars worth of interior work either. Is the tailgate aftermarket? The cab and front end seem to be a straight axle body also.

 

What on that truck is 65? only the frame! no 65 2wd cab had steps like that.
it has an early sheet metal on the front. 8,000 dollars for the interior? are you kidding me! whoever paid that much got taken for a ride in his own truck.

 

I did not see a reserve, it will be interesting to see what the final bid is. Have not sold on ebay, wonder if possible for bidder to place a reserve on item once bidding begins. If it were not for the chevy engine, and fact have no idea what yr the truck is; appears may be pre 65. However, seem anyone interested in 61-66 Ford pickup may be worth throwing a bid out there, just may get lucky. I would email seller and ask for the VIN.

 

It isn't a chevy engine. It is a 302 with Ford Motorsports valve covers.

 

Opps, Oh yea, read the first disclaimer and did'nt take the time to gander at the next for the correction. Personally of opinion small V8 is a great match, economically, and hp for the F100.

 

I'd say this guy is an outright liar. I just took my truck to a guy that does a lot of old car seats particularly Packards and GMs. This is No. California so prices would be the same. If I buy the material from SMS his labor and assembly would be $980 for the seat. That is about the only interior work to do. Note the sellers carpet looks worn as are the door panels and armrests.

Then $4900 on rebuilding a small block 302. I don't think so and I question if it was ever done from looking at the engine. So many people say the engine is rebuilt and it looks like crap while the body is painted. What, they can't paint the engine and if not painted then ergo not rebuilt.

Winds it up saying the owner spent 20K on the truck and I guess he would be perfectly happy taking $3K and it is not even a '65...

 

#1 Does appear to have I-Beams look at pictures closely.
#2 Cab, if f100 is 61-64 Need VIN to authenticate this.
#3 Paint job was done without good masking. Notice blue paint in passenger door area, under hood all over, headlight bulbs were't even removed for paint. Paint on bulbs and headlight ring.
#4 Carpet was not molded to fit properly. Had to be an on-line carpet kit.
#5 Headliner pertruding from trim pieces.
#6 Notice passenger side on seat, appears to have white paint drips on it. Look at passenger side headliner area where white paint was done. Looks like it was done with a brush.
Plus engine and what others have said.
My opinion On the professional paint and interior work.
Only good thing, is that there's another f100 still on the road.
Ladies and gentelman, before spending a lot of your hard earned money check around on quality work if your not doing it yourself. Look at there work get references.
I don't paint or do interior for a living, but if you want a truck done and have $20,000.00 to spend, and don't care what it looks like. I'll do it, and call it "professionaly done" by Robert, Larry, Curly and Moe. We get paid in full up-front. You pick up your vehicle after 9:00 pm out back.
Our motto will be "Never at the same location for more than a week"

 

Did anyone read about the 30 day 100% money back warranty he is offering?

sure, i can see the guy giving your money back after the sale.

 

It looks to me, that there is a significant coolant leak on the engine. I wonder how good of a job was done or what was used to assemble the early body to the 65 frame.

 

i saw the water there to, but thought maybe they just washed it off.

 

You guys got it all wrong; the only problem with this sell; the seller added one or two many (0's) on each item! Example $4900 engine; he meant $49 tune up! lol
The truck is a 61 thru 65 vintage series. I see too many items from each year to cause me to think its a piece meal project.

Gangsktar is on the money about quality.

Since the cab has a step, it's not from a 1965 F100 2WD, which the seller claims this truck is.

With a step, it's a cab from a 1961/64, 1965/66 F350, 1965 F100/250 4WD, 1966 F250 4WD.

1965 F100/250 2WD, 1966 F100 4WD do not have a cab step.

The grille is from a 1961, the upper valance panel is 1961/64.

Picture #10: Look just in front of the wheel...looks to me like a front leaf spring shackle and spring.

With the two bolt per side front bumper mounting, a cab step, front leaf springs, 1963/66 brake pedal pad (it's on upside down), 1964/66 bed, this is a 1964 F100.

The following old saying applies here if anyone buys this cobbled up terd:

"A fool and his money are soon parted."

 

Hey Bill AKA ND, Look at the 8th picture down, looks like I-BEAM
I've asked seller for the VIN because I question authenticity of year of vehicle. I probably won't get it we'll see.

 

Looks like a radius rod...but you can't have radius rods and front leafs, so whatever that is, I dunno. What's that bracket in post #10 if it's not a front spring shackle?
