“Documented one-owner 1968 Ford F100 camper,” the itemizing begins out. “Powered by the unique 2bbl 360cid V8 mated to a three-speed on-the-tree guide transmission.”

The outside seems to be remarkably rust-free for a truck that has lived in New England, and the colour known as “Sky View Blue” (code E), based on the trim tag. This truck comes from the fifth era of the F-Sequence which initially launched in 1967. The cab had grown three inches in width in comparison with the outgoing mannequin. The next 12 months, Federal rules mandated the addition of reflective aspect marker lenses across the physique (and they’re clearly proven on in the present day’s truck, each entrance and rear).

The inside of the cab carries via the blue theme with a vinyl bench seat that appears to be freed from any main blemishes. An 8,000-rpm SW-branded tachometer has been mounted to the column, and we additionally see a radio, a heater, an ash tray, and a few recognized switches mounted beneath the dashboard.

The camper shell bears a placard from C&H Truck Covers in Newville, Pennsylvania. Inside it, the partitions and ceiling are lined with period-correct wooden paneling and there are vintage-looking drapes masking the aspect home windows. A skylight offers upward visibility together with added air flow, and the general house seems clear and well-presented (particularly contemplating this truck is 55 years outdated).

It’s turning into more and more tough to seek out basic pickups which have survived the check of time like this one has. “This truck runs and drives nice. Flip-key, prepared for any tenting journey,” the vendor says. “Authentic proprietor’s guide and spare wheels included.” The five-digit odometer reads 94,000 miles, which the vendor asserts is a real studying.

This truck would look equally at dwelling on the ironmongery shop as it might in a basic automotive present – and I guess it might flip various heads at both kind of venue.

The asking value is $21,500, and included with the sale are a store guide, an proprietor card, an proprietor’s guide, and promotional literature.
