1974 CALIFORNIA FORD F350 RANGER XLT

1 TON SUPER CAMPER SPECIAL

 

 
    

NO RESERVE AUCTION

 

This pickup truck was built and sold new in San Jose California in 1974. Stayed with the original owners for the first 59,000 miles just outside of San Jose in Hollister California, they used it for pulling the horse trailer to shows and camping. In early 2010 I bought the truck from the original owners and removed the very large 70s vintage wood framed camper that was still in the bed and brought the truck to Sacramento California and it has been my daily driver until about three months ago.  

It comes with the original owners manual, two original Ford sales brochures, frame mount camper hold down bars, original radiator top and bottom tanks with both side straps and radiator core dimensions, original Ford full length floor mat that has always covered the carpet (I will figure out how to add pictures of all of this but I seem to be maxed out at 24 pictures at this time)  and all the receipts for the last 30,000 miles that I have had the pleasure of driving this great old machine around town.

 

 It is in original condition other than the parts I have changed to keep her going smoothly. I have reinstalled the original super camper tires and wheels that came with the truck, they are in good usable condition with heavy tread.  Some checking of the side walls on the front tires only, the back tires look great.


The parts replaced over the last three years are:

New starter solenoid, relay switch, radiator, brake booster, Holley 600 carb., fan belts, heater and cooling hoses, thermostat, water pump, idler pulley (had pulley rebuilt as it is unavailable new), distributor cap - rotor - wires, air filter, pcv valve, coil, ignition module, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel gauge sending unit, heater core, transmission resealed and tested, diff oil and seals, front and rear brakes with new rotors in front turned drums in back, front and back wheel bearings, motor oil and filters.

The dash pad and door panels are very good with no cracks. The cigarette lighter and ash tray look new never used, both the original owners nor I smoke. The radio has been used so little the knobs are still snug and smooth. The body is in great shape with some minor dents, dings and scratches, the bed is solid with minor surface rust where the original camper sat in the bed. The wind shield has some rock chips. The paint has some scratches and is fading after some years of California sunshine and the seat has a tear on the drivers side. The air conditioner is complete and original but the clutch squeals and probably needs a new compressor. I have the wire unplugged at the compressor so it can not be powered up by accident. 

Starts and runs strong. Stone cold the big 460 needs two pumps on the peddle and is running, warm just hit the starter and shes always ready to go.



 

The truck has the following:

 

-Factory High Performance 460 V8 / C6 trany / 3.73 Dana 70 Lim. Slip diff.

-Correct replacement Holley 600 Carburetor

-Factory Edelbrock aluminum high rise intake manifold

-Sliding rear window

- Power Steering

- Power disc brakes

-9.5 front and 12.0 rear x16.5 Black Sidewall Tires

- Spare Tire & Wheel compartment

- Air Conditioner

- AM Radio

- Western style trailer mirrors

- Tinted Glass

- Auxiliary Engine oil and Transmission Super Cooling package

- Dual Fuel Tanks

- Stabilizer Bars front and rear

- Painted Pull out Rear Step Bumper

- Ranger XLT Package

-Original California exhaust emission information window sticker

-Original Engine Build and information stickers on both valve covers

 

 

 

   

This is a 40 year old truck that has always been owned and driven by adults. It is in very solid original condition other than the new fangled aluminum radiator. 



Thank you for looking and please ask any questions you may have before bidding.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
