1964 Ford F100

1964 Ford F100 Pickup For consignment, an all factory steel 1964 Ford F100. The trucks were assembled in an astounding fourteen different plants around the country and this truck traces its roots to San Jose, California. A great color and a great stance make this truck worthy of a look if youre in the market for classic American pickup truck! Exterior Corinthian White is sandwiched by Caribbean Turquoise on the top of the cab and from the shoulder line down. That shoulder line is accentuated by a red lined spear trim piece which intersects the Ford 100 emblem on each side. A chrome housed spotlight is mounted to the cowl and is in great condition while other metal work would benefit from a bit of restoration, but weve seen much worse. The headlights sit low on the front fascia which is topped by the sculpted hood and air intake ports. 15-inch chrome steel wheels set the stage for staggered tires which give the truck a raked appearance. The front wheel opening is teardrop shaped and highlighted by a flared fender, causing the illusion of the front pushing forward even when parked. Overall, the paint is in very good condition with some imperfections noticed mostly in the low sections including bubbles, chipped paint, drips, and some minor rust. The bed is coated with a textured spray in bed liner and is in usable condition. Interior The turquoise paint frames the door interiors which have white and ivory panels along with the requisite window cranks and door actuators. The green vinyl bench seat has a cloth cover. Turquoise continues to fill the cabin by surrounding the dash, steering wheel, and column, where we find the shifter and indicator. The wonderfully simple dash, backed by an embossed metal plate contains a center speedometer with embedded gauges and idiot lights. The spotlight handle is cut into the dash just above the ignition switch. In the center we find an AM radio just above a water temperature gauge mounted under the dash. For the passenger, a view of a two tone dash, white and turquoise, which is shiny and clean. Black loop style carpet covers the floor and a bare steel ceiling is above our head. Drivetrain 292ci of V8 power are under the hood looking clean and tidy in a coat of bright red paint. A 2-barrel carburetor feeds the fuel and a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission transfers power to the Ford 9 rear and 3.89 gears. Drum brakes are all around to help slow and stop the 160 horsepower put out by the 292. Headers cleanly flow from the engine and the bay is simple, uncluttered, and accessible. Undercarriage A bit of road grime and dirt, but overall, a clean underside. No major surface rust to speak of, nor much in the way of major oil leaks. We note some residual oil on the oil pan and plug, plus some on the rear differential. The dual exhaust goes from the headers to meet a pair of glasspack style mufflers, then turn 90 degrees and terminate under the truck. Leaf spring suspension is found front and rear. Drive-Ability A turn of the key and this truck puts out some sweet exhaust tones as we rumble onto the test loop. Its low raked stance allows good visibility over the big hood and the truck handles well over our flat terrain. Decent acceleration, good turn in, and adequate braking characterize this turquoise truck. It is noted that the radio doesnt work but only because it is not hooked up and our consignor notes that you must hold the shifter in park as it has a tendency to slip into reverse. I dont care how many mid 60s pickup trucks we see at Classic Auto Mall, they never cease to be cool and classic. This one has a unique paint job that makes it show worthy, but theres no reason to reserve this one for shows only. Its an easy truck to drive and maintain, and its easy on the eyes too. As an added bonus, you can haul stuff with it!
