This truck was purchased new by my great uncle from Smith Crossroads Ford in Lenoir, NC. I have the original invoice and the order form showing all the options as well as hand written maintenance records going back 40 years. Doug Laxton passed away and I'm selling the truck for his wife, my great aunt.The green paint is original ford paint, it still has a decent shine and is in amazing condition for 52 year old paint. The white was repainted once, but looks period correct and matches the original paint very well. All of the paint has minor chips and scratches here and there as you would expect.Everything on the truck works correctly. All of the controls work smoothly and don't feel loose or worn like most trucks of this age. The windows roll up and down smoothly and easily with no play or rattles. The doors and door latches work like new, they close and latch like new. The steering is tight and precise with minimal play. The brakes work very well, it's hard to believe it has manual drum brakes.It has the original 352 V8 engine and 3 speed manual transmission with the rare factory overdrive unit, which is working correctly. Starts easily and doesn't smoke.It runs, shifts and drives as close to perfect as a 65 F-100 possibly can.There is no rust anywhere on the body, this is the nicest un-restored F-100 body I have ever seen. The bed is in beautiful condition and has seen minimal use, it's not beat up or rusted like the majority of these trucks.The exhaust is not original, it has dual exhaust with after market mufflers. The exhaust is not loud, and could easily be returned to stock.There is a small oil leak at the rear of the engine. The clutch and flywheel are dry and the rear main seal doesn't appear to be leaking. It looks to be leaking from the oil pan gasket and only drips after driving the truck. Must see in-person to fully appreciate the condition.
