1973 Ford F-350

Rust free 1973 Ford F-350 Super Camper Special with optional 390 engine. Factory air condition and power steering. This is an easy restoration or a very cool daily driver. Paint is faded and has surface rust in the bed. I have the tailgate for it but no hinges and the tailgate has a dent in the top. My neighbor sold this truck to a friend of mine 30 years ago with 96,000 original miles on it. My friend put an overhead camper on the truck and only used it for local overnight fishing trips. In that 30 years he only put 2000 miles on it. The truck had been sitting for the last 20 years. My friend died of cancer last year and I bought the truck and camper. I got the truck running good and then I had a mechanic rebuild the carb. While he was adjusting the carb it ran out of gas and he switched the tanks. The other tank had old gas in it and it started running real bad. He went out the next morning to start it and it cranked over and then no compression. I pulled the valve covers of and it had 5 bent intake pushrods. The intake valves froze into the guides. I started to tear down the engine but I got into a motorcycle accident and shattered my knee and have some up coming knee surgeries and I cant finish it. The wife wants it out of the yard. Its a straight clean truck that is very worthy of restoring or just driving it. The front bumper is bent looks like someone tried pulling something with it. The vinyl floor needs replaced but not really bad and it needs a seat cover. It is missing the right side "super camper special" emblem. It is all original with the original hub caps and it has an aftermarket old radio. It also has a trailer brake controller from when my neighbor owned the truck. It has almost new tires on it and almost new dual exhaust on it. The shocks are also newer. I have this for sale locally and will stop selling it locally if the reserve is met. Contact me for any specific pictures you would like.
