The truck has a clean AZ title and is licensed as a working vehicle. The interior is mostly original, with NOS fabric insert in seat, new dash pad, new carpet, new tonneau cover, new windshield. The paint and body work is about 16 years old and some cancer has returned (honestly, it's about a 20 footer, but an opportunity to change to your favorite color)...it still shows well (a lot of thumbs up and comments when driven). The best part is that the bed interior is almost perfect only a few very minor dings...wheel wells are perfect. It has the normal scratches and chips from driving and parking lots.

Also included will be a complete set of factory shop manuals and wiring diagrams to include color coded set,1970 sales brochure, Marti Report, receipts file, spare parts, removed parts, and extra parts.

It has garnered numerous awards through the years including a Second Place at the All Ford Nationals in 2007. All work is done to aviation maintenance standards (retired aircraft mechanic) when possible. This has been a 23 year project so far and I continue to work on it as it has not been restored...it is a survivor.
