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.

Man chases down truck thief and steams it all on Facebook

Thu, Oct 13 2016

A Washington man chased down a truck stolen from his family's dealership last Saturday and livestreamed the event on Facebook. According to KOMO, a 2005 Ford F-250 was stolen from Sunrise Auto Sales in Eatonville, Washington on the morning of October 8. Aaron Babcock, who co-owns the small dealership with his father David, told reporters that after reviewing surveillance footage, he later spotted the truck while riding his motorcycle on Webster Road East. "I watched my cameras and found the video of a man lurking around and ending up taking off with my truck," Babcock told KOMO. "Cops came and made a case. Three hours later I was on my motorcycle in Graham, and they drove by me oncoming. It still had dealer stickers on it. It said diesel on the window and it had our dealer plate on it. It stuck out like a sore thumb. It was really easy to see." Once he spotted the stolen Super Duty, he wheeled his bike around and gave chase. He attempted to call 911, but was unsure if the dispatcher heard him due to noise from the wind and the bike's engine. So he fired up Facebook live and started streaming his chase, giving running commentary and updating his location as he chased the slow-moving truck. "I wasn't going to let him get away. I was going to try follow him down. I had no idea what to do," Babcock said. "Nobody could hear me on the phone so I just figured the first thing to do is pull up Facebook live." Babcock's Facebook friends pitched in by calling 911 to report the chase and even jumping in their own cars to follow the truck. At one point, he pulled alongside the truck and recognized both men in the cab. The driver was the man seen lurking around the dealer lot in the surveillance video, and the passenger was an old friend of Babcock's. "I know who you are!" he shouted at them, but the hunkered down and kept driving. Eventually, Babcock lost cell phone signal and the livestream ended. Eatonville police, who by this point were well aware of the incident, caught up with the truck in the 8400 block of 356th Street South in Eatonville. The driver was arrested and the passenger was questioned and released. Both denied stealing the vehicle or knowing it was stolen. Two sets of keys from Sunrise Auto Sales and a stolen credit card were also recovered from the truck. Related Video

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.

First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."
