It’s been a while since I shared a find from the property in North Georgia I am helping to clear out, so I figured we could bring one up from the front yard and get it cleaned up for sale. This 1966 Ford F100 pickup has been sitting for some time, but with a quick wash and some fresh gas, we were able to get it to run under its own power. Equipped with a factory big block and three on the tree, this Ford looks good with red paint that has likely been redone in the past and a clean cabin with only some minor rust spots in the floor. The truck does run and drive but the brakes will need to be gone through, and it could use a new thermostat. It’s located near McCaysville, Georgia, and the asking price is $6,000.

The Ford spots a factory long bed, which obviously isn’t the preferred setup for vintage truck buyers these days. You can swap that out if it’s a big enough deal, and we did notice some bondo poking through where the paint rubbed off just at the edge of the bed. While we don’t know enough about the Ford’s history to confidently say whether it’s been hit and repaired before, the rest of the truck does convey a sense of never having been messed with. While the tires do hold air, we’d probably replace them if it were ours, but they’re definitely good enough for loading onto a trailer.

As I’ve mentioned in the past, we have a few acres worth of old cars and trucks that need new homes. Many of them have already been sold but you never know – some decent projects still remain. If you want to get caught up on some of my previous visits, check out the following links – but be forewarned that many of these vehicles have already found new homes: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Project Trucks; Project Jeeps; Project Motorcycles. The big block V8 seems healthy and didn’t take much work to get it to fire up and idle once again, so I don’ think this will be a major undertaking for the next owner to turn into a runner.

Even the interior is surprisingly sound, and definitely in the sort of condition where you can use it as-is without having to do too much work to at least make it a hospitable place to spend time. The bench seat material is surprisingly intact, and while the dash has surface rust, I’d leave it as-is and just pop in a new RetroSound radio. The only spot of daylight I saw was right in the floor beneath where the clutch pedal rests, and it was fairly minor – which makes me pretty confident this is a truck you can use without having to spend thousands on bodywork repairs and engine replacement. It looks and sounds good, so contact me via the form below if you’re interested.
