1972 Ford F-100 Description

For sale: 1972 Ford F100 Ranger XLT, rare shortbox. Dry survivor truck from sunny California, good running and driving rig you can use as is while you improve it. Originally a 240 6, it's been upgraded to a 302 V8, 4 speed, power steering and power brakes. Restoration was started, the underhood, interior and door jambs have been painted a nice blue and it's a good start. Exterior is mostly original with some primer here and there. The truck made it's way to Montana and was a daily driver for an older guy here in his 70s for the last 5 years. He had some health issues and was unable to finish it. I bought it and used it for a parts chaser for a while and had some fun with it. I'd like to move it along to someone who will do it up right and finish it.
Exterior: Mostly original paint with some primer spots. A few dings here and there but no rot. Some surface rust, but no cancer. See linked Photobucket album for more pics including underside. Underneath looks very clean, a few small rust spots on the cab dropoffs. Very solid truck overall. Doors have been replaced with some mint doors, I don't have the originals. Door tag was missing and I got an exact reproduction from Marti. Later Ford truck alloy wheels are in good shape, tires have good tread. Roof has some dents. The original XLT trim I got with the truck will be included, there are a few pieces missing and some are dinged. Thankfully the trim is available from LMC and others now. Windshield is cracked. Grille surround and grilles are good.

Interior: Complete and overall decent shape. A few cracks in dashpad, and seat will need to be redone as it's broken down on driver side. Most everything working, lights, radio, wipers, heater, parking brake. Original carpet is worn and should be replaced. Use as is or ready for restore if you want to take it to the next level.
Mechanical: Starts, runs, and drives out well. Originally a 6 cylinder, truck was upgraded at some point to 302 V8, 4 speed, and power steering and power brakes. Really pulls strong and sounds good. Engine does have some miles on it and will use some oil between changes. I took the truck to a professional mechanic and had it checked over and the rear brakes replaced. He gave it a clean bill of health, said it should go a long way as is, and noted that it was a ball to drive and with throaty dual glasspack exhaust it sounded like Steve McQueen's Mustang.

Pricing/Misc: These short box bumpsides don't come up often, especially clean and rust free. Nice examples are bringing $20k plus. This truck is NO RESERVE and will sell. If you're tired of fluffed-up Ebay rustbuckets, give this truck a look. Title is clear and in my name, buyer will need to get insurance upon purchase as I will cancel mine. Truck can stay here for 30 days, after that $100/month storage will be due. Truck runs and drives well, but flying in and driving it home might not be the best idea, Montana is a huge state with many areas with no cell service or roadside assistance, and winters here are downright dangerous. Reasonable transport is available, and I will help load the truck on a transport.

LINK TO ADDITIONAL PICS INCLUDING UNDERSIDE (copy and paste) - just ask if you need more. Photobucket is clunky, just close the popups and if you have trouble viewing pics try the Firefox browser. I'm currently looking for a better photo hosting site.
