1972 Ford F-250 SPORT CUSTOM CAMPER SPECIAL Description
This truck is in all original condition and isabsolutely beautiful.
THE DETAILS:
- It was bought new atBowen Scarff Ford in Kent, ashington and hasenjoyed a privileged life.
- Garaged from day one with a camper on it, he bed has been preserved and is in really nice shape. There's some scratches on the top of the bed rail, couple of holes drilled for camper tie-downs on each corner, nd some rubs on the bed itself from the camper. I included a shot of the bed showing the camper tie-down areas. There is one dent in the floor of the bed on the drivers side close to the cab. I didn't get a shot of it.
- The ALL ORIGINAL paint is lustrous and is in remarkable shape. I included some shots of the door jambs, hich look factory fresh, nd look closely at the original floor coverings. There are a small touch ups to the paint here and there,a few very minor small depressions in the sheet metal, ith the only really noticeable onesat the front of the hood. Look to theleft of the F and the D in Ford; I included images of it.
- About paint: With the carcollecting hobby placing a premiumon originality, his truck is about as "PURE" as you will ever find.
- This truck has zero rust.
- All of the chrome and anodized trimare in almost perfect condition. The light lenses are clear and bright.
- The original door cards, eat, eadliner, nd dash look like thetruck was delivered yesterday. There is one seam in the driver seat that has started to let go, ut it should bean easy fix.
- Every light and gauge works.
- The AM radio works.There isslight bend at the top of the original antenna.
- The tires are in almost new condition, nd the after market wheels really look great on the truck! Masculine and very F250. I have all four of the very nice original hubcaps, ne cap has a small dent. You can see them in the image of the optional tool box (which by the way, sin very solid condition). The original 16" rims didn't make it.
- The glass is all very nice, he windshield has two very small chips that need to be repaired. I have been meaning to pull into the local auto glass company but haven't gotten to it.
- All of the door seals andwidow seals look like new. The doors close with a satisfying "clunk",just like the day it left the factory.
- Window go up and down. No issues. If you look closely, he knob on the passenger window winder is missing. I have it and the rivet to attach it, ut haven't gotten around to it. I will include it.
- The glove box is like new.
- Wipers work great. Dash is beautiful; the last year for this instrument cluster; the gauges get big and square with lots of fake wood graining in '73. Not a fan.
- All the switchgear is operational and in great condition.
- Included are all of the original manuals, he warrantee identification card (Fords Protecto-Plate) with the vin and model number that is pressed like a credit card used to be, n original factory sales brochure, he factory build sheet, owing instructions,"Starting Instructions" sleeve that slides over the driver side visor (removed after delivery and is always missing), arrantee Facts service card, he original jack, nd a 1972 Ford color selections brochure.
- I am the fourth owner.
- And while the name of the color is SEQUOIA BROWN METALLIC, t is a really nice copper hue. I love it and was one reason I bought the truck.The cream interior color is a really nice contrast and is in incredible all original condition.
- The engine room is tidy and I can even see some of the original factory chalk marks. The truck runs and drives like a new truck.
Maintenance:
- The truck received new exhaust in June, 011.
- Tires look new with the originalrubber nibs are still evident. I have no receipt.
- The previous owner needed to replace the original mirrors with a shortened version so he could get it in his garage. I have the originals and the stainless is perfect and carry the Ford script. I have a 11 foot garage door so left the mirrors as purchased. The originals will come with the truck. And if you look closely, here are two holes in the passenger door where the frontmirror support attaches to the door. I have that piece, nd if you look at the driver side, ou can see that it's in place there.
- The seatbelts are marked as original Ford. There is one buckle that is missing a small decorative medallion. I have that medallion and it is included.
- I just did a transmission service with new t-fluid and filter.
- I just changed the differential lube.
- I just installed new plugs.
- I just adjusted the points and timed it. Cap and rotor look new. Wires look new.
- There was an issue with runability after it warmed up. Iinstalled a choke kit changing the choke fromhot to electrically controlled and the motor now runs smooth and strong.
- The oil was just changed.
- The air filter is like new.
- Wiper blades are like new.
- There was a very small radiator leak and I just hadthe systemflushed out and the leakrepaired.
DRIVEABILITY:
This truck drives like a new truck. It tracks perfectly and is a joy to drive. For the options, k out the image of the originalbuild sheet. This truck is nicely optioned and it has power steering (Not included on the build sheet. Perhaps standard?).
Not sure what I can add. If you have been looking for a really nice older truck, his is it. If you were going to restore one of these, ou couldn't come close to duplicating this truck for the asking dollars. PLUS...they are only original once! Clean title in hand.
Bid with confidence, r make a reasonable offer. It would be hard to find a better truck but it has to be sold, just lost a four car garage I was renting and need the room.
