Description of 1974 Ford F350 Custom

What we are bidding on here my friend is a 1974 Ford F-350 Dump Truck. As you can see from the photos, this is a work truck that I use on my little farm. It works great. As you can see, I was using it today to haul some logs from a tree I cut up. So, why am I selling it? Good question! I had a friend who wanted to make me a deal on a bigger diesel dump truck and I said yes. I thought that I would keep this one forever. In fact, this truck will come with some WIX oil filters and some other parts I bought because I knew that I would need them someday.
Dump bed works fine. I will post a picture of it extended later after I dump out the logs. It is 12 feet long by 7 feet wide. It has metal front (cab end) and wooden sides and a wooden rear. There are two big built-in straps with manual winches for holding things in the bed. The sides and back come off, turning the truck into a flat-bed.
When you buy this, you get a clear, regular North Carolina title along with two sets of keys. As far as I can tell, this truck has been in North Carolina since it was built, serving on a farm near Denton, NC and then for a landscaper in Greensboro before it came to my little farm.

Bed is solid, with only a small rust hole near the front on the left side from where it used to be kept outside an a slanted driveway by the landscape guy I got it from. It doesn't hurt anything, and the bed is very solid. I have hauled some heavy stuff with this old truck! I have kept it under a pole barn since I have had it, but it stays outside now that I have had to make room for the new dump truck.
I will include the little bracket that would allow the mounting of a DIN radio. I never got around to installing it.

Some disclosures:

Floor on driver's side is rusted through. A stamped metal plate made just for this is included with the sale, but my level of welding skills does not permit this to be installed in a proper manner! I drive it all around without it. Just don't try to do a Fred Flintstone and brake with your feet!
Like most 360s, there is a slow rear main seal leak. I put an additive into it with oil changes, and that seems to stop it. A mechanic friend says that this is just how a 360 is, and it is useless to replace the rear main seal, as it will fail in the same way sooner rather than later. It has not been an issue.
The exhaust is kinda loud and needs some muffler goop to fix a leak or two. But it lets in some air and you get backfires with engine braking when a little gas gets through unburned. It was on my to-do list to mess with it, but I just keep running it and it doesn't bother me.
The speedometer reads high. Like if it says 55, you are doing about 35, etc.
The horn doesn't work, as the wire is shorted in the steering column. The old owner had a little switch on the dash, and I have one I can put on for you if you want me to. Or I can just give you the switch, dealer's choice.
The dash is sun-cracked. I have a new dash cover I ordered that I will throw in for you!
