Description:

1968 Ford F-250

For sale: 1968 Ford F250 Custom original survivor. Bought new in the high mountain west and lived a life of camping and fishing Montana's blue ribbon trout waters. I bought this truck last year from the third and long term owner, it was purchased new at Capital Ford in Helena, MT and stayed right here for the last 52 years. Documentation included with Marti report. Factory Rangoon red truck that's very original right down to oil bath air cleaner, factory jack and tools and under bed spare tire carrier. Documentation includes factory manuals, sales contract and deluxe Marti Report. I’ll do my best to describe this special truck below, PLEASE see the Flickr album link with pics including the underside in the description, and the YouTube walk around video.

Exterior: Mostly original Rangoon red with a few touch ups. Still shines well with just the right patina. Paint is worn and thin in spots as shown. Nice straight rig with a few dings, most noticeably on box side over passenger rear wheel. Mirrors have been replaced and there are some small extra holes as shown, I don't have the original mirrors. I do have the key for the side toolbox. Overall dry truck, I'd say 95 percent rust free. NO exterior rust other than surface on box floor and on front valance. There IS a rust hole in passenger floor that's been patched, and hole near driver footwell - see pics in Flickr album at link below. Truck was undercoated when new, cab mounts and dropoffs are ok, cab supports had some blisters that I treated with Eastwood converter. Area of rust-thru on apron under the battery tray. Nothing urgent that couldn't be addressed without compromising the originality of the truck. Original lock ring wheels with stainless hubcaps and ancient bias ply tires are included AND a set of white spokes with newer (2015) 10 ply radials too. Nothing covered up with bedliner, what you see is what you get, just an honest survivor to use as is or take to the next level.

Interior: All original in decent driver condition. Cracks in dash pad and seat upholstery under the covers. Headliner and armrests good, original floor mat is torn. Factory gauges, lights, heater, wipers working. Radio is not working and Motor minder vacuum gauge is not hooked up. Parking brake works, windows roll up and down and doors and side toolbox all lock fine. Door weatherstrips shrunk and need replacement, fortunately they are inexpensive and readily available.

Mechanical: Starts, runs, and drives out fine. Original 360 sounds great with no smoke, noises or issues. Shifts fine and brakes are good, clutch does chatter sometimes and shifter has some play. I had the truck checked over by a professional mechanic, new starter and carb rebuild and all fluids and grease zerks were topped off. Only leak appears to be power steering. New exhaust and newer (2015) 10 ply traction radials in very good condition on white spoke rims. Original lock ring wheels, stainless hubcaps, and old bias ply tires included. Truck runs and drives out fine, but it is an old truck and old trucks need work from time to time. If you haven’t fooled with vintage vehicles before, adjust your expectations accordingly.

Pricing/Misc: This truck is NO RESERVE and will sell. If you’ve been looking lately, you already know that 67-72 Ford truck prices are headed for the stratosphere. This truck might be a more affordable alternative to all the 2wd F250s selling in the $15k-$20k range.

This truck runs and drives well,but flying in and driving it home this time of year probably isn’t a good idea, as Montana is a huge state with many remote areas with no cell service or roadside assistance. Reasonable transport is available, I will drive truck to meet your transporter and help load it. Title is clear and in my name, buyer will need to get insurance upon purchase as I will cancel mine. Truck can stay here for 30 days, after that $100/month storage will be due.
