f100

[Tindall2006]

There is a 1960 F100 for sale down the road from me. It is in kind of ok decent condition. It has a lot of surface rust, but nothing major looking. The bed was a little warped too (2 corners across each other are higher then the other 2), and it was missing the bottom of the bed, so I could see the frame and the ground from it. The seat would need replaced, or repaded and recover, it has 288,000 miles, but he says it runs good. It has stuff like a new starter, a newer rear end...

He wants 2000 for it, on but to me, it looks like a 500 dollar range truck, is it worth it, dose it have some collector or rarity value kicking it up? it also has a 3 speed manual, moved the floor.

Also, are hop ups and replacement parts easy to come by? Would this be a good truck to toy with, and figure out more of how to fix cars, and mod them, and a little custom fabrication? (I'm 16)

Also, it doesn’t have the original bed, but a Chevy one.

sounds like a mess and priced high. I think you can get a better deal to toy with. Check out autotrader.com to compare prices and determine if the price is right.

The early sixty model f100 trucks were very rare,I have a 1961 that im fixin up right now,, the were only around 2000 ever made. mines a three on the tree. but if it is a uni-body style truck, then 2000 is well worth it.

Since you are 16, is this your first project?
If yes, start with something a bit cheaper or, for $2k, something in better shape. For $2k you could get more interesting or something which needs much less work.
