Cosmetically this truck is in amazing original “Survivor” condition. The paint is all original, with the exception of the hood and front fenders and in very good condition. The entire body and floorboards are 100% rust free, and perfectly solid. Front fenders are corrosion free and solid, as is the entire truck. The interior is completely original and excellent, including seats, floor covering, headliner, and door panels. The original build sheet was found behind the seat, and is included in the sale.

This F-100 was sold new at Guthrie Malone Ford in Boaz, AL. It has remained in Boaz, AL for the last 46 years. It still has the dealer installed steel rear bumper with the dealer’s name and city engraved on the face. It was traded in at what became Alexander Ford in Boaz, AL, and then was purchased by a gentleman who lived in nearby Albertville, AL. It wears an Alexander Ford decal on the tailgate, which is still in place. It was purchased earlier this year by the current owner from the owner in Albertville, AL. Since then every system has been gone through in an effort to make the truck 100% reliable. It has been a fun and rewarding project on a very deserving vintage Ford truck.

This F-100 wears it’s original intake manifold, original carburetor, original choke assembly, original coil, original points distributor, original exhaust manifolds, original 2-1 exhaust mid section, and single muffler exhaust system. Everything is functional and working correctly. The body fit is excellent, and the doors open and close beautifully, as do the hood, and tailgate. It has all the original glass with the exception of the windshield which has recently been replaced along with the seal. The side windows roll up and down easily and smoothly, and the door locks works smoothly with a solid feel.

This truck starts easily cold or hot, idles smoothly and accelerates briskly. The carburetor and factory choke are adjusted correctly and they work perfectly, even in cold temperatures. The transmission is original, and shifts smoothly and quietly. The entire truck drives amazingly well with good straight line tracking, strong braking, strong driveline, and solid construction. It handles and rides very well being just 4500 GVW, and wearing radial tires. The Twin I-Beam front suspension really works well, and as Ford advertised “Works like a Truck, but rides like a Car”. The 3.25 ratio rear axle allows easy 70-80 mph freeway speeds.

Throughout the entire process, every effort was made to preserve and maintain the originality of this amazing truck using correct original replacement parts or NOS parts. The upgrades to the cooling system and brakes were essential for safer driving. Sale includes most all the original parts that were removed.

Needless to say this F-100 gets attention and compliments regularly, but nobody can believe it’s still a mostly original un-restored truck. As they say “it’s only original once”. Some may be tempted to do a full restoration, as it would be relatively easy, but the preservation route was the direction chosen. With proper care this truck can “Survive” another 46 years.
