1965 Ford F100 / F250 Long Bed Truck Rat Rod Slick Sixty A Real Sleeper

 

This is a project I have had for 11 years and I am just not able to get it finished- It deserves better. A diamond in the rough- make it yours.

 

It is a 1965 F100 converted to an F250 3/4 ton- a real truck not an F100! Truck has the Dana 60 rear end with limited slip differential and 4:11 gear. It was a camper special. Has the factory bucket seat option which is very rare. Never had any rust. It is painted close to original color with exception that I matted it out so it would not be shinny. Tires are big and OK but not new. The bed has been Rhino Lined then painted to match. The truck is in great condition. Has a new front windshield with new rubber. Has a new rubber in the rear window.

 

For the cool stuff:

  • Has a factory 427- 409 FE cast iron headers from a Fairlane.
  • I installed a TKO short OD (.83) five speed transmission.
  • Has a Ford big block FE 390 that runs OK- needs to be tuned up.
  • New Holley Street Avenger 4-Brl carburetor.
  • MSD 6A Ignition.
  • Radiator is only 3 years old.
  • Custom exhaust that crosses under truck - straight pipes- but not too loud-FUN sounding!

 

It is a great driving truck just needs to be finished. Stock height with stock suspension, it is a great start to go in a number of directions: Rat Rod, Sleeper, Original or RestoMod, whatever you want. That is probably why I could never get the project done- Which direction to go? I was going to use it to pull around a Shelby Cobra I had.

 

Good clean title- currently on CA Non-Operational status. I have lots of spares that all go with the sale: Dashes, Interior parts, new stuff, etc. The reserve is half what I have in it – so if you were ever serious about doing a Slick Sixty you will not go wrong with this.

  

Condition:

Truck is serviced and ready to drive it currently is not real comfortable but it will go anywhere.

 

I have the truck listed locally so I will reserve the right to pull auction if I get a bucket load of money. It is solid and has been a garage queen for five years and it deserves better. Good luck bidding!

 

NOTES: Understanding this is a large purchase I will offer this guarantee-If you are not happy with the car after an inspection and within seven days of auction end I will give you your money back-less fees, simple. I want you to be happy.

 

PAYMENT-TERMS: Ask questions no returns unless of course, I made a mistake or you believe I misrepresented the item. I am doing my best. If there is any written conflict between Ebay boiler plate and this unique description- this description will take precedence! Please, $500.00 PayPal deposit due at auctions end balance due within 7 days of auctions end via cash, wire transfer or certified cashiers check only. (I will need to allow CC to clear prior to pick up).   

 

SHIPPING: No shipping, I will load on your truck and help out any way I can. If paid for it can stay here for a “Reasonable” amount of time.

FEEDBACK:  I am a real person not a dealer and have been a member since 1998. I have given bad feedback and received some as well. My feedback rating is important to me, but having a no hassle transaction is even more important.  If for any reason you don't feel you can leave me 5 star sellers rating in any category, please let me know before leaving feedback so I can try and resolve the issue.

Good Luck Bidding!

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time

Fri, Aug 15 2014

Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
