Nicely done. I do believe I would have spent the money on full rust removal and paint though, but I totally understand what the goal here was. Preservation.
I learned to drive in a 1968 Ford F100 when I was 14. It was my grandpa's truck he bought new when I was born. 6 cylinder 3 on the tree pulling a jon boat to stump lake. Maybe that is why I have a thing for these old trucks.
That can’t be the only 69 f250 with that paint colour because I have a 1969 f250 crew cab manual 82,000 original miles my grandpa was original owner since new and it has the EXACT same paint job as this truck.
I don't get it- Why take it that far and then not address the "not that bad" rust? That rust will only spread and end up consuming the whole truck before long- so whoever buys it is going to have to address it. It'll likely sell for big money to some dreamer though, since it looks so nice. Wish they still made 'em like that, instead of these ridiculously expensive electronics-laden luxury sissy trucks they make now!
Jess Hunter Ford Pueblo Colorado. My Dad bought a new 1973 from them, I have had a 1967, 72 ,74 , the holy Grail 1976 with disk brakes 4spd tool box dual tanks and big hubs sold it to a guy in Slida CO for $5600 Kick myself for selling any of them
Did you bring this to the Grand National in Pigeon Forge? I think I have it in the Grand National video I made of the show. . . or one that looks a lot like it.
Those holes are from a bug sheiks that was on the truck years ago. I do agree that piece would be a nice addition to the the truck the 68 custom package did not include that molding. Thanks for watching!
those old trucks have such a unique feel as you drive them.its such a pleasure to drive a machine that is so primative & mechanical.at least for short periods.they WILL wear you out after spending many hours behind the wheel at one time though.i believe thats part of the appeal in todays world of 4 wheeled ipads they call "trucks".this is considered by MANY as a "REAL" truck.& not a 4 wheel drive lincon continental.
Truck was officially accepted by Bring a trailer a few days ago, don’t have a date yet on when it will launch for auction but will keep you all updated Thanks!
