It was purchased by a Gentleman From Los Alamos Labs in 1963 from a Dealer in Denver Colorado . 6 yrs later My Neighbors Son Purchased the truck . ast year I purchased the truck from him . A disabled Vet he could no longer operate the 3sp transmission easily . The f100s factory 223 straight 6 still starts easily and runs without issue odometer says 117xxx miles. it doesn’t get hot even on the hottest of New Mexico Summer days . prob because it still has its Brass Radiator . with a recent flush and new radiator cap I thought the gauge was broken . it wasn’t . this truck runs nice and cool .

Theres no radio or antenna . nd the dash hasn’t been cut . the runner however is rotten around the windows . doors close beautifully with that all-American Truck sound . the body is what it is . the bed has got some damage on the lower rear . he front fenders have rotted out in the typical spot where ford forgot to put proper drainage . and plenty of character (dents scratches dents ext ) but at least its original paint with wonderful patina & hasn’t been flat blacked or rattle can prime red and labeled a “hotrod” it is missing the rear bumper . license plate light and bracket are still there. U buffed and waxed the entire truck where i bought it to seal all the goodness in . its rough but solid and original . the inside of the bed is pretty good . no rot . the tailgate has some soft spots and dents . still functions well . the title is clear From New Mexico and in my name . this is a wonderful truck to drive . I bought this truck so Dad and I could build one last hotrod together that he could use at the flea market and i could cruise around New Mexico in but things change and after 72 years he wants to build a Chevy with an automatic ……… Pops still rules :) please don’t bid unless you plan on following thru . don’t try to trade me your 81 Camaro laying in the weeds at your uncles house . and don’t email with $1500 offers .
