1972 Ford F-350 Custom12' Ft. Flatbed Excellent Original "Time Capsule" ConditionOnly 47,000 Original Miles!Up for sale is our bone stock "Farm Find" 1972 Ford F-350 Custom dually farm truck. Why are we calling it a "Farm Find" truck? Because the truck has spent it's entire life on a farm in Montana ( 1st owner)… then on a farm in Oregon (2nd owner). And due to it's low usag, it has only 47,000 original miles! You'd never know that this truck was used on a farm, by it's amazing appearance.... truly an OCD farmer owned truck. The truck has been kept under cover in the garage since new.... and believe it or not, still wears it's original paint! The paint color is what Ford calls " Swiss Aqua". The paint is in amazing condition for nearly 50 year old paint. The interior of the truck is in near mint condition. The seat is rip-free... the dash is totally uncracked ( except a slight separation along the perforated speaker opening). The paint on the interior is immaculate. Please see the numerous photos, for confirmation.
The bed of the truck has the original Oak ( I believe it to be Oak wood), boards... which are mostly still solid, however near the back of the truck, about 4 of the boards are cracked, and have broken/missing/rotted sections. These can easily be repaired, and returned to near factory original condition, with some elbow grease. Another way to go, would be to cover the entire bed area with pressure treated plywood.... or even use aluminum diamond plate..... it's up to you! The bed of the truck is 12' Feet long.
Since this truck was never driven on salted roads.... it's 99.9% rust-free. The only rust would be surface rust, on unpainted surfaces. Please see the numerous photos of the cab, especially the bottoms of the doors (normally a rust prone area)... which still wear the bright Swiss Aqua paint. The cab and grille are exceptionally straight… the only dings on the cab, are on the roof, which are not noticeable, unless you are standing in the bed to see them. It would be very difficult to find an original 1972 Ford F350 truck cab in better condition, anywhere in the country.
The truck is a rear wheel drive, with the Ford 360 cubic inch engine. 4 speed manual transmission, with manual steering, and power boosted brakes. The engine runs very well, and the brakes stop the truck with authority, and the transmission shifts well. I regularly drive the truck 20 miles round trip to our local lake, and the truck is totally roadworthy.... however, since the truck wears it's original bias ply front tires, I'd highly recommend that they be changed to modern radial tires, if the truck will be driven regularly on the highway.
All the gauges work in the instrument cluster..... speedometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, ALT gauge, and oil pressure gauge ALL work. The headlights, blinkers, and brake lights also are fully operational. Even the dome light still illuminates!
Recent additions to the truck:
* Bed and wheels painted with high quality, catalyzed automotive satin black paint.* Mobil 1 full synthetic oil change* Coolant flush and fill with Prestone 150,000 mile coolant* New radiator
Overall...… for an original, bone stock, unrestored 1972 Ford F350, you'd be very hard pressed to find a better example. Definitely a "time capsule" condition 1972 F350.
