My find of the year

[scrapyardking]

Just picked this truck up last week, it's a 1967 F-100 shortbed with a rebuilt 300 six engine. The truck was from Tenn. and it is rust free.
Got it for $800.

That looks sweet, get some better pictures when you get a chance, looks like you stole that for $800

A solid straight body...yep good deal.

Should have a 9" under it. Was the 300 I6 stock?

I like the 67-72 body style.

Fantastic score and better price. Congratulations!

EDIT
Closer inspection shows that someone took really good care of that truck. Sweet.

I'm not shure if the 300 is stock or not, I found the work order in the glove box showing that it has be rebuilt and had the clutch replaced in 2006, But the truck hasent been registered since 2003, so the motor is basically brand new.
The only thing that I dont like about the truck is the indy floor shifter that someone installed.

The 300 was standard.. V-8's were considered options.

Dennis, wasn't the 240 six standard in the '67 half ton?

Always liked that style of truck. What are your plans for it? Street truck, 4x4 conversion?

That is why I was asking. I have no clue when they switched from the 240 to the 300.

I like the column shifts for the old 3 speeds myself, but maybe I am slightly prejudiced. Yah...think?

I was just going to leave it stock and use it as my Sunday afternoon cruiser.

 

[Brian_B]

Awesome. I wanted a hotrod when I was looking for mine. Turns out I ended up with a fairly stock one in too good of shape to hack up. I am glad it is stock now. It makes it totally different from just about anything out there.

 

[scrapyardking]

Yea you definatly see alot more hacked up ones than you do stock thats why I'm leaving it alone.

That is an awesome find, truck and price Andy. Nice Job. It's going to be one heck of a cruiser.

i think it's pretty damn good looking... wish i cld find one for that kinda price.. i thought i was doing good to find my motor for $1200 in the nifty thrickel...

got any more pics?

 

[Mil1ion]

I was sure 1967 was the year of the 300 but then again there were 2 versions of the 240 and 300 for that year (L/C, R/C) so maybe it was 68 or 69 for the 300 to take over. I know it was the standard I6 for camper specials with the 352 V-8 as the other.
