History of truck
I purchased the truck in the 1996. I am the third owner. The truck was purchased new in May of 1968 by a man that lived a few miles from me. He had it for @25 years. After his death his wife sold it to a guy I worked with. He rebuilt the engine and painted the truck. It was originally that Ford Aqua green color.
After I purchased the truck I drove it for 3 years year .. It was my daily driver. I took it off the road in the fall of 1999. I started completely dismantling it in December 1999, It took me twelve years to finally getting it back on the road in October of 2012. I worked on when I could, and when I had the money to spare for it. I had it about 75 percent done when a good friend of mine finished, and painted it for me.
This truck has had almost every part on it either replaced or reconditioned where needed. It is 90 percent stock. The bed and tailgate are from a different year, I moved the 3 speed column shift to a Hearst 3 speed on the floor. The seat is not covered original. I built it to show and drive. I tried to take a lot of care to prevent any rust from happening underneath. Living in Pennsylvania even though its not out in the weather anymore it doesn''t take much to get started on these trucks. I keep it in a heated garage and baby it.

Front end was completely rebushed. All the twin I beam bushings, radius arm bushings, King pins were replaced right before I took it off the road.
Replaced Bed with one I got out of Texas. Bed was sandblasted and epoxy primered . Underneath was painted over with black Rustoleum. I had to replace one panel on the floor of the bed in front of the right side wheel housing the rest of the bed was very nice condition no holes or rust.
I replaced the tailgate with on I got from California. It had the center tailgate molding. I decided to leave that on even though it''s not correct for a custom cab. I just liked how it set off the tailgate
New rear chrome bumper, SS bolts and brackets , license pate lights
Re- Chromed Front Bumper, and new SS bolts
New radiator core support and mounting kit.
New radiator.
Inner fenders I got used had them blasted and epoxy primed, painted them with Rustoleum underneath, and black acrylic enamel on top. They were in very nice condition. Front fenders are both original they were blasted and epoxy primered. Underneath painted with black Rustoleum.

The cab, and doors were in pretty good shape for being in PA all its life. I did have to Mig weld a couple of patches in the floor mostly on the drivers side. The cab mounts were in really good shape. I stripped the entire cab of all parts dash, seat everything. Floor was repaired, primed and painted inside and underneath. I had the cab off the frame on a dolly so I could work on it. It was stripped to bare metal and primed and painted. Black Rustoleum on the underside and part way up the firewall.
On the cab I found huge dent in the roof full of Bondo when I striped it. We cut a good roof off another truck and welded it on. it''s a very good professional job and looks great.
Doors only needed striped and painted
All the rubber is new. That includes doors , door windows- rear window- inner fenders- everything except for around the windshield it was OK.
I repainted the instrument panel and put new glass in it.
Dash pad was painted with vinyl paint.
New rubber on all the pedals.
My wife redid the seat in a black and white cloth hounds tooth and black vinyl.
New floor mat
The engine had been rebuilt with new rings in bearings by the guy I worked with. I ran @ 22,000 miles on it in 3 years. It ran great and used no oil. It did however leak all over the place. I tore it all apart. Checked the cylinder walls and bearings , everything was OK. I cleaned and painted everything. Replaced timing gear, and chain, Replaced water and fuel pump. Replaced all the gaskets and seals. Rebuilt the carb.
I add new Hooker Headers with dual flow master.
