Survivor Ford pickup

[Q5XX29]

It may not be a Mopar, but I'm a sucker for old classic vehicle "survivors". One of my sons found this ONE-OWNER 1967 F250 pickup, in original Lunar Green color, with the original 80,000 mile 352 V8/4 speed/Dana 60 rear. It was purchased new by a now-92-year-old guy about an hour from where I live (Sioux Falls, SD). We drove over to check it out yesterday, and within the first mile, I knew I had to make an offer. I couldn't believe how tight and quiet and smooth this nearly 52 year old pickup was. Needs very minimal mechanical sorting, and then we plan to just leave as-is (no restoration). Maybe add some power steering. We went a bit overboard with my 1965 F100, (see thread here: http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php/32073-1965-F100-pickup?highlight=f100  )  and now it is so nice, we tend not to enjoy it as much as before we restored it and drove it to Home Depot, NAPA, etc for a parts runner. Now this will be the perfect truck for those duties.  I'll let my kids drive it to school, as they requested. They've already named the truck: Hank.

Would a F250 be rated as a 3/4 ton pickup?

[stripedelete]

Very unusual for a 3/4 ton to survive.   It's usually a shorty 1/2 ton.    But, when it is a 3/4, there is usually an old man in the story.

Nice truck.

Beautiful truck! Congratulations

[Q5XX29]

Thanks, guys. Mitch- yes, it was considered a 3/4 ton truck back then as well.

It is surprising that it is that nice.  Usually they rust out in the inner fenders and the cab corners.

Great old ford! Good score.

Love it!!! I think 67 was the last year for the 352 FE engine. I restored a 69 F100 Ranger short bed several years back, it had the 390 and was a three on the tree. I like the 67-72 body style ford trucks but the 67 -69 had the best looking grille. Great find and an awesome looking old truck!!!!

[Q5XX29]

Thanks, everybody.

Thank you. As for the house- if you search old threads of mine, I think I posted some here and there of my garage areas.
