look what i found..( now if i only had the money...)

[89frankenford]

well i was driving around at work and passed this on the side of the road and decided to stop. its a 1970 Ford F-100 Ranger edition heavy duty. i believe its a 2wd. it has a ford 9" in the back. everything seems to be stock. has minor rust with a few holes here and there but looks damn good inside! good solid truck for the most part...too bad i dont have the cash!...

 

[TexasNomad]

I'd hit it..

 

[LEB Ben]

Not bad...looks like a reeeeeeeal solid truck for the area...did someone keep it locked in a garage for 40 years? Seriously though, wait til you move further south...you find trucks like that all the time for half the price.

waw!.......

 

[Skandocious]

Wow the interior is SPOTLESS!!

 

[flareside_thunder]

I didn't think they made camper specials till bout 75 or 76....gawd that's a clean truck.....

They made all sorts of stuff...ranch hand is another that comes to mind...I'm sure Dennis would know all the packages available.

C/S??

Camper Specials go back to '68 or more. I don't think they were done in 1/2 tons though,EVERY one I've seen is 3/4 or 1ton. That steering wheel don't look like '70 either.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

I think he just labelled it C/S cause the mirrors and the "heavy duty" badge on there. It might just have a swapped hood or somethin.

 

[Raptor22]

And if it has a new motor in it, how come we cant see it?

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Cause it said long block so theres no point in takin a picture of it.

Whats a long block? (sorry...)

 

[A_G]

its a new engine with not all the parts included.

I believe a short block is, the block, crank, rods, pistons. thats it.

they made a rancher special, contractor special. camper special, and a few others.

its not worth 4k up here. maybe 1-2k

So what parts does a long block not include?

 

[A_G]

right off hand i dont remember. i think it comes with everything the short block does, with heads and seats, valves but no rocker assemblys.

not sure exactly i kinda left that answer open for somebody to interject and correct me or add to it.

Okay, makes sense. I hate rocker assemblies, they suck to set up and get right...

That's a pretty solid truck. I think If I didn't find my 77, I would have restored my brothers 69 F100 4x4. He sold that though. I really like the looks of those trucks and that interior is awesome.

I had actually thought about taking a vacation somewhere down south and just spend a week or 2 just looking around and if I found a nice rust free good looking truck, I'd just drive it home.

I always liked the bumps too...had Red not been my first truck...you'd probably see me over in the bumpside forum. As for the vacation...you know my door is always open to go dentside hunting...there are plenty of them around...not too many from the generation before or after though.
