Description for Ford F-350 1974

LISTING FOR A FRIEND THAT HAS OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE NEW, HE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE IT SINCE 2012 DUE TO ILLNESS AND HE HAS DECIDED TO LET IT GO.
THIS TRUCK STARTED ITS LIFE AND A 2 WHEEL DRIVE CAB AND CHASSIS, MY FRIEND WAS A COMMERCIAL PLUMBER AND HE NEEDED IT TO BE A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE BUT IN 1974 FORD DID NOT OFFER THAT OPTION SO HE PURCHASED A WRECKED 4X4 AND HAD THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFERRED ONTO THIS TRUCK.
DATA PLATE DECODES AS A 1974 F350 CAB AND CHASSIS, 360 2BBL, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, DANA 70 WITH 4:56 GEARS.
THE 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, DIVORCED TRANSFER CASE, AND DISC BRAKE DANA 60 FRONT AXLE ASSY WERE SWAPPED BY A LOCAL SHOP.
FLAT BED WITH FOUR TOOL BOXES AND OVERHEAD RACK
HE TOLD ME THAT SOMETIME IN THE LATE 1980'S THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH A 390 BUT I HAVE NO WAY TO CONFIRM THIS AND HE NO LONGER HAS ANY RECEIPTS.
IN 2009 HE AND HIS BROTHER INSTALLED A 1979 FRONT GRILL AND LIGHTS BECAUSE HE LIKED THE RECTANGLE HEADLIGHTS BETTER THAN THE ROUND ONES AND HE SAID IT MADE THE TRUCK LOOK NEWER, HE ALSO HAD THE TRUCK REPAINTED IN THE ORIGINAL WHIMBLETON WHITE.
THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE AND NOT RUN OR DRIVEN SINCE 2012, THE CALIFORNIA TITLE IS CLEAR AND CLEAN, THE TRUCK IN IS NOT OP STATUS, NO BACK FEES.
THE TRUCK WILL RUN AND DRIVE, BUT COULD USE A TUNE UP AND CARBURETOR REBUILD, THE GAS IN THE TANK IS SEVEN YEARS OLD. THE BRAKES WILL WORK AFTER YOU PUMP THEM A FEW TIMES. THIS TRUCK WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED OR TRAILORED.
KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK: RUST. DOORS, CAB CORNERS, HOOD ALL HAVE CANCER, AS SEEN IN THE PICTURES. THE FRONT DRIVESHAFT IS MISSING AND THE TRANSFER CASE LINKAGE IS NOT HOOKED UP, IT IS INCLUDED AND SITTING IN THE CAB BEHIND THE SEAT. THE FRONT DRIVESHAFT DISAPPEARED AFTER HE HAD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPAIRED AND THAT WAS ABOUT THE TIME HE GOT SICK AND COULD NO LONGER WORK. THE FLOORBOARDS DO NOT HAVE HOLES IN THEM.
THE INTERIOR IS ROUGH AND WORN.
ASSUME THAT THIS TRUCK IS A PROJECT, I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO CHECK OUT.
