76 Ford F150 4x4 Ranger original survivor factory A/C western high desert truck

Description for Ford F-150 1976

For sale. nbsp;1976 Ford F150 4x4 Ranger factory A/C original survivor truck from the Montana high desert. land of the sagebrush and prickly pear cactus. It's an honest. good running. nbsp;rust free. sorted daily driver. Truck has been adult owned. nbsp;inside stored. and meticulously maintained. Originally owned by a banker and used sparingly for camping. then sold to an older fellow who used it for dump runs and the occasional load of wood. I believe I'm the third owner. I've seen many of these trucks. and this is the nicest. tightest. cleanest truck I've run across. It's been my personal driver for the last year. Selling only because I purchased a 60k mile one owner 76 High Boy. I'll do my best to describe this special truck below. Exterior: Paint is in good condition and ORIGINAL except tailgate and small area at back of driver side box. nbsp;where the original owner backed into a fence. that has been repainted. Factory colors are "XR". Indigo Tan and Ginger Metallic. The really great news is that this truck is dry and rust free. Will upload link to underside pics. there is just no or rot underneath. and I know where to look. Floors. cab mounts. rockers. nbsp;box. rear wheelwells. fenders. nbsp;etc all look great. We don't see rust or rot issues in this arid country- there's just no moisture. We only get 10 inches of total precipitation annually. nbsp;and sand. not salt. is used on the roads. There are a few hail dents in the hood which are hard to notice. Scratches near passenger rear wheel opening as shown. Small dent in passenger side door under mirror and one in box under camper hold down as shown. Holes drilled where camper hold-downs are secured on box. Glass is good including windshield. Moldings in good condition with no pitting. and grille and grille surround are mint - that's $700 you don't have to spend. Bumpers good - rear is aftermarket. Inside of box has a lot of scratches and dents. nbsp;liner or tonneau would dress that up nicely. Has a couple extra holes (plugged) in passenger door as shown from auxiliary camper mirror. and was equipped with running boards and holes drilled for those as well. I have a set of the diamond plate running boards I can include if desired. Overall a super solid truck and ready to use as is. Doors close like a bank vault!Interior: Original and nice. Dash is mint. original radio. not cut. No tears or cracks in headliner. door panels. or dashpad. Driver seat has a few small tears in original comfort weave vinyl under cover. seat not broken down or worn out. Original carpet in good condition with one hole at passenger sill under floormat. Everything seems to work except A/C. Gauges. heater. wipers. radio and all lights work. A/C components are all there and A/C blew cold when I bought the truck. but A/C clutch started getting noisy so I removed the belt. Also dash vacuum control died. they are available from LMC. Steering column shift collar has been replaced but there is a bit of slop in upper bearing - also available from LMC. This truck still has it's original jack. handle and lug wrench. Mechanical: Starts. runs. drives and stops well. Original 360 motor sounds good and pulls strong. no noticeable noises. smoke. or major leaks - does have a small oil leak that will leave a spot overnight. C-6 transmission shifts great and 4x4 works fine. and even the "lock" light on the dash works. Originally full time. nbsp;truck was converted to true part time with hubs. and done right - more money you don't have to spend. I think everything works save A/C. as stated above. Truck is tight with few squeaks or rattles. Tires have decent tread. wheels are late model Ford. and in excellent condition. Truck is bone stock save for newer dual exhaust. Meticulously maintained. whatever the truck needed. the owner had it professionally done. Oil changes were even written inside the driver door. Brakes work fine. and are recent. master cylinder does seep some fluid. Shocks are newer. as are hoses. belts. and battery. Truck has dual tanks. both underneath (original rear frame tanks and travel tank. switch operates both valve and gauge). and all hardware working perfectly. I use both regularly. With gas being cheaper now. this truck would be a legitimate daily driver. It pulls about 10mpg in town. smooth. effortless and comfortable. Be prepared for a lot of looks. and thumbs up from the legions of Ford truck fans out there. Pricing/Misc: I got a good deal on this rig and you will too. This era Ford is tough to find. nbsp;especially clean. nbsp;rust free and sorted. Reserve is under $5500 for quick sale on this truck. The value here is the money you don't have to spend because you're buying a squared away truck. Transport is readily available and probably cheaper than fixing rust on a Midwest or East Coast truck. Title is clear. in my name with no liens. signed off and ready to go. After the sale. I can store the truck outside for up to 30 days free. after that $100 per month storage will be due.
