1968 Ford F100 Ranger 67, 68, 69, 70, 71 on 2040-cars

 This truck was purchased brand new in Grandbury, Texas on May 16, 1968. It belonged to the same owner for 39 years and never left Fort Worth, Texas until I bought it. The man's grandson inherited the truck in 2007 and it was sold to a friend of mine in 2013 for a debt payment. You will see the original owners manual comes with the truck as does the remains of the build sheet. This truck is 100% there minus the original tailgate. I bought this truck as a summer project for me and my daughter and she returns to college soon so we want to sell and move on. Check my vehicle sales feedback. I tell it honest and just like it is.

The bad; Paint is obviously 46 years old. The carpet needs to be replaced and the AC doesn't blow cold. two tears in the drivers side of the seat. One crack in the dash pad right in the middle.  Section under battery has rusted out. Previous owner covered with an old license plate. Exhaust, Dual glass packs, is missing a hanger on the right rear. Horn button no longer works but all parts are there.

The good: All electrical works, all lights work including the optional cargo light with the illuminated reminder switch. The cigarette lighter even works. The self cancelling turn signals work as well as does the fan/AC blower motor. Truck starts every time, drives straight and has zero rattles. Brakes are new so they are solid. All original trim is in place. Front ranger emblem was in glove box. This truck has two little spots of rust in the front fenders but it has none in the floor pan, body, rockers or cab (see pics). Bed is in amazing shape for a 1968 truck. My suspicion is that prior to 2007 it was kept under cover. I can't be sure but the spare tire might even be original. It is a standard ply tire that still has air in it. This truck is a factory AC truck. This was the first year that Ford installed AC from the factory. Everything is there and the compressor kicks on when you turn the AC on. You can tell it's factory because the factory climate control levers control AC. Heat blows hot since new heater core and valve installed. The VIN says that the truck was solid white but the build sheet shows that it was ordered with the "3073 Gold paint" in the specified areas.

recent fixes: New heater core, new heater hoses, new heat control valve, all new wheel cylinders (brakes), new rear drums, new front bearings, new tires (less than 10 miles), Carburetor rebuilt but needs final adjusting. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions. Finding trucks this original with the original history are very rare.
