1969 f100 short bed 390

1969 Ford F100 Short Bed | 390 V8 | Classic Patina - clean title in hand Selling my 1969 Ford F100 short bed. I bought her in Carlsbad about eight years ago. She has a natural paint patina and that old farm truck look—perfect for a surf truck, weekend cruiser, or a project you can make your own. Highlights 390 cubic-inch V8 C6 three-speed automatic transmission Power steering and power brakes Short bed with classic Ford styling F250 donor components, including 8-lug axles and a Dana 60 rear end Custom oversized radiator According to the previous owner, the truck was restored in San Diego, the 390 was rebuilt by Ed Hale, and the C6 transmission and front suspension were rebuilt. This is history from when I purchased her, not recent work. Current condition I recently started her for the first time in about a year and a half, let her warm up, and took her around the block. Driving her again made me think twice about selling, but with three young kids, I don’t have time to enjoy her, and she mostly sits in my driveway. What I’d tackle first Replace the carburetor Change fluids and give her a general service Address rust in the roof drip rails and finish those areas. That’s the only deep rust issue. Other than that it’s solid, the frame is solid.  Check brake lights and turn signals for proper operation Inspect tires, brakes, belts, and hoses after sitting Personally, I’d keep the natural patina and consider a suitable clear coat after proper prep and rust treatment to preserve the look. All around, she’s a solid old F100 with character and room for improvement. Come take a look—she deserves someone who has time to enjoy her and throw a surfboard in the back.
