This thing is amazing.
I am the second owner of this truck. It has been in Northern California it's whole life and always stored inside. I would say it fits into the category of trucks with a "patina" type paint surface due to the tiny, tiny bit of worn through paint but from 20 feet away, you can't tell the paint isn't prefect.
It even still has the original Car Lite windshield that came with the truck!
It has never been repainted. The rubber is also original and therefore is aged and cracked in places and could use replacement. I didn't change the rubber because it adds to the originality in my opinion. There is a slight dent in the RF fender but it really is a pushed in spot that did not even damage the paint and it does not show up in the pictures. Another tiny dent in the lower part of the tailgate where the PO missed hooking up his boat to the tow hitch. Otherwise, the body is amazing. There is absolutely NO RUST! The bed was covered by a shell for awhile so even the paint in the bed is fantastic.
The engine is the original 352 CI V8, a C6 automatic transmission that was rebuilt about 9k miles ago by the PO (I have the receipt), 2WD, long bed. I did a valve job on the heads and added hardened valve seats. The engine leaks a little here and there but nothing bad at all.
I did change a few things to make it more drivable: I added HEI style distributor, added used stainless hub caps and trim rings to the stock wheels. I replaced the stock front drums with the front power disk brakes, booster and dual master cylinder and proportioning valve, column, and power steering from a 1973 Ford F100. I added new stock size tires, replaced the original floor mat with a new reproduction. I replaced the old seat cover with a new seat cover with Ford embossed logo as original. I added a new chrome rear bumper and removed the old Barden type shown in the pictures.
It has a clear California title and the registration is good until May of 2014.
FYI: The newer radio works but the prior owner cut the dash to install it.
I work in Canada so give me time to respond to emails, etc. The truck is located near Sacramento and I can arrange to have it viewed with some notice. This is a once in a lifetime chance to find an unmolested, drivable, original painted vintage truck. you won't be disappointed. Every time I am back in California, this is my daily driver. (all my other cars are older!)
I'm selling it because I have too many projects and I am tired of paying for storage. My 65 Ford F100 Crew Cab is next on the list!
I also replaced the shocks and the exhaust. If you need additional pictures I can arrange to email them to you. (the last few pictures I uploaded show the new rear bumper and the trim rings and the engine shot. Oh yeah, and I use the truck as you can see!
You will have to arrange shipping but I could accommodate taking to somewhere in the nearby area if you needed me to. Good luck bidding.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
