F100 1960

[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 johnny cash cadialc, i purchased a truck like that, i would stay away from it.

I dont know 2000 sure sounds like a lot of money for that old and beat up of a truck. I have a 1967 ford f-100 that runs good and I bought it for 250.

I just recently aquired a 1960 F-100 short bed myself. I will tell you that they are relitly rare trucks, most of the parts are really cheap, and you can get a bolt in crossmember to put just about any engine you want into it. I am putting a 390 FE into mine. Now with that being said, I love my truck and would tell anyone to buy one, but 2 grand is way too much. With the way you described it, offer him $750-$900 and if he refuses, let it go. Mine sat in a field untouched for 15 years and it only has 113,000 miles and all I had to do was put a battery and gas in it and it fired right up. I got mine for $200 and the body is solid as a rock and I drive it daily. I hope you get it for a good price. good luck
