We have here a real piece of the americana landscape of the us, ne of the very early working mans truck here. We operated this truck for aprox. 10 yrs in our landscaping business, auling trash, irewood, umber, ulling trailers, ulch, eaves, tc. We have decided to sell the truck to a new owner, nd it was not an easy decision, s we were working on a full restoration of this truck but only partially finished the restore as you will see in the pics and description below.1985 Ford F35, 1,000 G.V.W., riginal four wheel drive, riginal dual rear wheels 16.5", nbsp;9ft. stake dump body, to dump hoist (non electric), olid rust free frame without holes from rust, ccident free since our ownershi, riginal 4 speed manual transmission with creeper gear, on original 7.3 liter 1993 diesel engine (non power stroke), he story/history on this truck is that we became #3 owner in the mid 1990s, ts original color blu, L interior, .9 liter diesel have since been remodified/replace, s we removed all the electric windows and locks inside and went to manual, he bench seat is re upohlstered from velure fabric to blue vinyl with a tear since, he truck was repainted twice in the 20 yrs since we owned it, he last time it was painted its current colors was feb. 2006, he white stripe you see is painted and not vinyl and this paint still looks exceptionally well considering we only drove it 2 months with new paint and parked it then in 2006. The amount of money we paid for the body work at that time was $3500.00, nd that consisted of replaced drivers door, eatherstripping inside door jams on both sides, rand new insulated floor mat from door to door, rivers side fender, ood, river side rocker panel and more all because we did not want any bondo/plastic filler in this truck at the time and keep it all meta, hortly after painting the truck in 2006 we parked the truck and everything on it worked fine other than the speedometer cable(broken) and have not driven it on the road since that time. This trucks engine was upgrade in early 2000s to a 7.3 liter 1993 international non power stroke engine., s we hired a shop to install the 7.3 engine in the truck. We had the rea, rear rebuilt in the early 2000s. This truck does not currently run but can and will need to be gone over, ew inspection must be done by new owner, nd the stake body floor wood part of the bed must be replaced the side stake pockets and we have the original stake sides for tha back as well, he steel sissor hoist from the piston to the bed was completly replaced with heavier channel than original in early 2000s. This truck will still need some mechanical work on the diesel engine before road worthy again, nd the body as well INCLUDING: FLOOR REPAIR, AB MOUNT, EW BATTERIES, OME ENGINE MAINT/REPAIR, MECHANIC?, LEMISHES stake bed etc. The hood latch does not close. but I must say, verall you have a complete truck with most parts OEM, amp; you will be hard pressed to find a 30 year old truck of this year, f this make, f these componets, T ALL, NYWHERE ON THE PLANET, hat is complete like this F350 here, nd it was my true pride in joy truck and am having a hard time parting with it, ut finally made the decision to do just that with a really rare find here.
