What a lovely rare rare find in this unspoiled original condition. This is NOT a barn find . it's an up together usable truck which has had much time and money spent to keep her this way. This is essentially a mechanically restored truck. You can use it and enjoy while making improvements along the way! It sits right. looks right and sounds right. t's a cool cool truck!
REMEMBER THEY ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE! I have been driving this around myself and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. If this doesn't realize enough money I will be keeping it. Be quick. the last two trucks I sold left the UK heading to Europe. With the weak pound. these guys are making the most of their advantage!

This truck has recently had $12000 dollars spent on it in parts alone . it is a turn key jump in and drive truck. All cab gauges work. it starts on the button. drives straight down the road with no wandering and needs nothing. The only real deviation from original is the leaf springs which have been reversed to lower the stance of the truck. It is lowered 3 inches in the front and 4 1/2 inches in the rear. It can easily be put back to original stance if preferred. Obviously the wheels are not original.
The truck had a repaint many many years ago and it's showing a great patina. Several small rust spots have been touched up with primer. THERE IS NO RUST/ ROT ANYWHERE ON THIS TRUCK. It is a northern California truck from new and has no rot.
Beautiful straight body panels. this is a restorers dream. This is THE straightest unmolested Ford I have seen in over 10 years of importing trucks.
The interior is all original and very very tidy as you can see from the photos.
Of course the truck is MOT and Road Tax exempt. That said though. f course it does need to be road legal!
Truck is road registered with UK V5 document.
All parts are available for these trucks both here in the UK and in the US.  
No silly offers. just so you know £15k will not buy it. No trades. finding these trucks in their original state is becoming increasingly difficult. Sourcing them and shipping them to the UK is an expensive task.
Many have been scrapped and many have been hot rodded with later engines etc.
Remember . this is a 65 year old truck. As such it will drive like one. It will not drive like your 2010 BMW.  
TRUCKS THIS SOLID AND THIS ORIGINAL ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN NOW BOTH HERE AND IN THE STATES. THIS TRUCK IS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS IN THE PHOTOS. USE AS IS OR CARRY OUT A ROLLING RESTORATION WHILE USING IT IF THAT'S YOUR THING!SERIOUS ENQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE CALL PETE ON 07980921341(NO WITHHELD/ UNKNOWN CALLS ANSWERED SORRY)PLEASE PLEASE NO TYRE KICKERS. DREAMERS. OR PEOPLE WITH ENTIRELY UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT THESE OLD TRUCKS ARE!
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE AN OFFER BUT KEEP THEM REAL. THEY WILL NEED TO BE CLOSE TO ADVERTISED PRICE! THE POUND AGAINST THE DOLLAR IS AT A 30 YEAR LOW SO THEY'RE HARDER TO FIND AND HARDER TO BUY!
