Here is an awesome built 1973 F100 4x4 short bed
The truck was completely rebuilt about 9 yrs ago and still shows incredibly well
This truck was given a very large suspension lift in the front end and the work was very well done, it drives exceptionally well much better than your stock ford suspension and rides and drives more like a newer truck.
The engine is a 390 and it runs very well I was told the engine was rebuilt when the truck was restored. It has a cam and headers so it has a little extra juice over stock.
The transmission is a C6 with a B&M shifter, the shifts are very smooth you can also slap the gears if you want
The interior was updated and still looks really good the seat and headliner match and are a durable broadcloth, the carpet is like new and the dash and the rest of the interior was painted to match the them of the truck and still looks good. There is a little fading of the paint that was used on the interior door panels but they are still in great shape.
All guges work except the original water temp gauge but there is a new temp gauge that works great. There is also aftermarket oil pressure gauges and tachometer that work well. The other original guages work as they should.
The body on this truck is in great shape there is a small dent on the drivers door that did not even chip the paint and a few spot where the paint has begun to chip off, the paint on the truck overall i would rate a 7 which is still very good for a daily driver (which this truck is) however if you wanted a show truck ready body then a little bit of body work and paint on this one and you are on your way.
The bed-liner in the back looks like new
The wheels are like new and un-scuffed
The tires have less than 1500 miles on them!!! they are 35 x 12.50 and look great on the truck
This is an awesome example of the f100 4x4 shortbed and they are incredibly hard to find as i am sure you know, this truck is ready to be driven and is great fun to drive
The reserve on this truck is very low so bid with confidence.
Truck was recently moved from Wyoming so it has a clear Wyoming title but is currently located here in Grand Junction

The history and future of the Ford Bronco
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
