1960 Ford F100 4x4 Custom Cab Big Back Window, 292 V8 4-speed Project, Very Rare on 2040-cars

1960 Ford F100 4x4 Custom Cab, 292, 4-spd, Big Back Window complete truck, project, very rare.  Was last registered and running in 2006.  Former Department of Defense truck with low original miles.

You are bidding on an extremely rare 1960 Ford F100 factory 4x4 truck. I owed a 1958 F-100 NAPCO conversion, and this is exactly the same but the first year offered from the Ford factory as an option.  According to Ford’s production numbers, only 4,334 4x4 fleetside trucks were produced in 1960; it’s the truck equivalent of a 1967 Shelby GT-500 in regards to rarity.  Combine this with the big back window and the Custom Cab option, and it’s even more rare.  I would say this is the Holy Grail among Ford 4x4 enthusiasts.

Most Ford enthusiasts say that NAPCO was still building these early models; I can’t say for sure but can say it’s exactly the same component-wise.

The original paint color seems to be Aquamarine, a turquoise green.   It is now poorly painted in yellow.  The body is amazingly solid and not rusted out; minor rust bubble areas that would be easy fixes.

This particular truck has just over 36,000 original miles (formerly a Department of Defense vehicle), retains its' original 292 cubic inch V-8 engine, and four-speed manual transmission with compound low.  The 4x4 package utilizes a divorced Spicer transfer case in proper working order, original 9" ford rear end, and what appears to be a Dana 44 front axle (removable asymmetrical cover).

The truck is complete under the hood less battery, and last registered, running, and driving 2006.  I am operating under the assumption that the engine will require a full rebuild at this point due to sitting, so I’m selling it as a non-operable “project” truck.  The transfer case shifts smoothly through all positions, as does the 4-speed manual transmission.  It still has a good clutch, and the brakes still work.   Not much more to say under the hood.

Tires are old but hold air, there doesn't appear to be any bed, floor, or door step rust-thorugh.  The bed has a diamond-plate steel panel that covers the entire bed floor; I don't know if this was added or original.  A small amount  of rust bubbles in each driver- and passenger fender down low, and perhaps some beginnings in the cab corners, although they look solid. Overall I'd say the truck is very dry and mostly rust-free.   Window regulators are complete and in place.  The original tail gate is no longer present, either.  Otherwise, what you see is exactly what you get.

The interior is complete and unmolested other than an updated stereo, and a three-gauge auxiliary package added under the dash.

Clear title in hand.  This is a rare one and would be an amazing truck restored.

While every effort is being made to describe the truck accurately, it is in fact a 54-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied.  Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer.  I will make myself available for loading.
