I bought this truck from the original family owners. From Idaho. Super solid. Runs great for the age. I have owned it for 2 years. If I had the time or endless storage, it wouldn't leave. But I have to let it go.
The bad:
Few dings,10 year old restoration. Cab corners have had some work done, paint close but doesn't match. Slight bubbling at roof, see pictures.Inside of bed- slight dents. Minor oil leaks, no puddles. Horn ring doesn't work, previous owner rewired to button on dash. Wasn't fused so I rewired. Manual everything, drives like a truck, it is one. Not original rear bumper. Not perfect by any means, but a super solid survivor.
The good:
I repainted the floor boards... very solid, only surface rust. New carpet. seat very nice, some original upholstery. Nice shine to paint. New turn signal cam. Runs, shifts, drives great. Chrome in very nice shape. Some dings in side trim, but otherwise really nice. This truck gets loads of attention, because you don't see very many unaltered this nice. The wheels aren't my first choice, but they came on the truck. I have the original wheels and hubcaps, go with, need paint. I need to dismount the bias belt tires on them. They're junk.
The truck is for sale locally, but I don't plan on ending auction early, without contacting highest bidder.
Now the legal mumbo jumbo. Do not bid without contacting me if you have negative or less than 5 feedbacks. No deposit required, But payment must be made within 5 business days, unless arrangements made. If you have any questions, please ask before bidding. You can contact me at (309) 781- 2406. Thanks, Chris.

I guess there was some confusion on what I put in the description, the tires on the truck are in very good shape. The ones on the original rims are not.
Sorry I didn't show a picture of the inside of the bed. It has a few slight dings and dents painted over, but overall good shape. There are no bubbles or rust on the truck, except for the roof rail which is because of poor prep on the older paint job, see the picture.
If there are any questions, please ask. I know I have forgot something. Its been a while, but I have sold 3 cars on ebay, and the main comment was I too honest on flaws. I have 100% feedback and I want to keep it that way.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.
