EVERY CAR HAS A STORY BUT THIS CAR HAS AN AMAZING STORY!! AN INVENTOR
IN PENDLETON OREGON HAD A GOAL OF BEING THE FIRST TO HAVE A FORD DIESEL
TRUCK. HE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW FORD TRUCK IN PORTLAND OREGON AND DROVE
THE 351 MILES TO HIS HOMETOWN IN PENDLETON OREGON. HIS GOAL WAS TO
CONVERT THE TRUCK TO A DIESEL ENGINE TRUCK AND THEN SELL THIS KIT TO
ANYONE THAT WANTED TO CONVERT HIS GAS TRUCK TO DIESEL. HE FIRST WENT
OUT AND PURCHASED A CHRYSLER NISSAN DIESEL ENGINE WHICH WAS THE DIESEL
OF CHOICE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SCOUTS OF THAT ERA. THE ENGINE WAS THE
SD33 MODEL. HE LINKED THE ENGINE UP WITH THE 727 CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION.
THE SD33 SERIES ENGINES SAW EXTENSIVE USE IN COMMERCIAL, STATIONARY, AND
MARINE APPLICATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

THE NATURALLY ASPIRATED SD-33 WAS A FOUR MAIN BEARING INDIRECT- INJECTION
ENGINE WITH DRY SLEEVES. THE DIESELS COULD EASILY BREAK THE 20 MPG BARRIER
ON THE HIGHWAY.

LOWEST MILEAGE 1976 FORD F150 IN EXISTENCE?? PROBABLY SO!!

THE ENGINE WAS MATED TO THE WORLD RENOWN 727 CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION TO
MAKE A SUPERB UNIT FOR DRIVING.

A TURBO WILL GO WITH THE TRUCK IF ANYONE WOULD WANT TO CONVERT TO THAT
CONFIGURATION. IT IS THE CORRECT UNIT THAT CAN CONVERT THE SD33 TO TURBO.

.

***THE CAR ITSELF HAS ONLY 453 ACTUAL MILES!***

THE TRUCK STARTS UP LIKE ANY OTHER DIESEL WITH A GLOWPLUG, ETC.

A DIESEL METER WAS PUT ON THE DASH AREA TO REGISTER TOTAL HOURS AND THE
METER READING AS OF TODAY IS 11 HOURS TOTAL SINCE ITS CREATION.

AGAIN THE TRUCK ITSELF ONLY HAS 453 ACTUAL MILES SINCE NEW!! YES ONLY 453
ACTUAL MILES!!

THE INVENTOR WAS ABLE TO PUT EXACTLY 100 MILES ON HIS CREATION UNTIL HIS
UNTIMELY DEATH IN 1978.

SINCE THAT TIME THE TRUCK WAS IN STORAGE INSIDE HIS HOUSE AND A BUILDING
FOR 40 YEARS. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IT HAS BEEN OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC
SINCE 1976.

THE TRUCK WAS ACQUIRED BY A LOCAL COLLECTOR OF FAMOUS COLLECTOR
CARS . ONE OF HIS COLLECTOR CARS WAS PURCHASED BY JAY LENO OF TONIGHT
SHOW FAME. THE COLLECTOR RECENTLY PASSED AWAY AND NOW THE TRUCK IS
UP FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER

THE TIRES ARE ALL ORIGINAL WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN 1976!!

1- GOODYEAR SUPER HI MILER 7.00-15LT BIAS PLY TIRES
2- DATE CODES
A- 325
B- 335
C- 345
D- 345

CODES ABOVE WERE THE 32ND WEEK, 33RD WEEK, 34TH WEEK, AND THE 34TH WEEK
OF 1975 MANUFACTURING DATE.

THE TRUCK LOOKS AS IF IT CAME OUT OF A TIME MACHINE FROM 1976.

THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL 1975 TIRES THAT WERE PUT ON THIS 1976
MODEL. EACH TIRE HAS THE CORRECT DATE CODE FOR THAT YEAR. ALL STILL IN
PRISTINE CONDITION DUE TO THE DRY STORAGE ON THE TRUCK. ALL ARE BIAS PLY
TIRES AS WAS THE CHOICE OF MANY BUYERS STILL IN 1976.

THE TRUCK HAS THE FORD FACTORY BED COVER OFFERED IN 1976 FROM THE DEALER.

THE BED OF THE TRUCK IS LIKE NEW.

THE INTERIOR OF COURSE IS ALL ORIGINAL AND PRISTINE.

THE TRUCK EXTERIOR IS ALL 100% ORIGINAL AND THE PAINT LOOKS JUST AS IT DID
IN 1976 WHEN IT DROVE OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. STILL HAS THE FACTORY DOUBLE
TAPE STRIPE FROM THE FACTORY IN ORANGE.

THE PAINT CODE F FOR THE FORD ***DARK GINGER METALLIC.***

THE PAINT CONDITION IS AWESOME. REALLY SHINES! BEAUTIFUL COLOR!

THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE TRUCK ARE PRISTINE AS WELL. THE DRY STORAGE
ALL THESE YEARS REALLY KEPT THE TRUCK NICE.

UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK IS AMAZING. STILL HAS THE FACTORY RED PRIMERS THAT
WERE COMMONPLACE DURING THAT ERA. NICE AND CLEAN. NO UNDERCOATING SO
YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE ORIGINALITY THROUGHOUT.

ALL THE INNER FENDER WELLS ARE LIKE NEW AS WELL. PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES ON EBAY.

GAS TANK AND MUFFLERS STILL LIKE NEW.

ORIGINAL 1976 OREGON PLATES GO WITH CAR!! FRONT AND REAR!!

NOW OF COURSE SOME PEOPLE WILL THINK THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO PUT
THE 390 V8 BACK INTO THE TRUCK, ETC ETC AND PUT THE TRUCK BACK TO ITS FORMER
GLORY. I CONSIDERED THAT BUT I THOUGHT THE STORY BEHIND THE TRUCK WOULD
BE THE BETTER CHOICE AND LEFT IT AS IS. IT WOULD BE RELATIVELY EASY TO ACQUIRE
A 390 V8 FROM THAT ERA ETC ETC AND DO THE CONVERSION BACK IF SOMEONE WANTED
TO GO THAT WAY.

A GREAT TRUCK FOR A MUSEUM OR FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR. THE LOWEST
MILEAGE 1976 FORD F 150 IN EXISTENCE THAT I KNOW OF. SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. THE
TRUCK WILL STAND UP TO ANY PRE INSPECTION AND THEY ARE SUGGESTED FOR
THE SERIOUS BUYER.
