Here’s a good old tried-and-true 1967 Ford F-100 survivor that spent most of its working life on a little orchard in Utah. The odometer only shows 19,510 miles and the seller says “there’s no proof of this being original, we can’t guarantee they are, although everyone in its past says it is.” The seller’s father bought it a while back from the RattleRocket Garage in Ogden, Utah,  which bills itself as specializing in classic cars, trucks, hotrod, and ramrod repairs and restorations. I went on their Facebook page and it looks like a cool place that’s partial to Fords, especially ’67-’79 Ford trucks. The seller’s parents are in the middle of building a home and could use the funds, so the truck is up for sale. Currently located in Colville, Washington, this red workhorse is for sale here on eBay at No Reserve. As of this writing, it had generated 28 bids with the highest one being $6,600.

1967 was the first year of the fifth generation Ford F-Series that would run from model year 1967 through 1972.  Changes from its predecessor included a wider cab, a heavier frame, and more engine choices. The F-100 also came in three trim levels: the “Base” as we see in this pickup, the “Custom Cab,” and the top-of-the-line “Ranger.” It appears to be wearing its original Poppy Red paint and has the usual sunburn/patina on the flat areas that are common to farm trucks, especially on the hood.

There are plenty of photos supplied by the seller and it appears to be a solid truck with very little rust. The seller shared, “I found a little bit under the headlights on what appears to be the radiator support area…The body itself is straight and rock solid…as are the floors.”  Based on the photos, the truck’s bed looks solid and the glass, trim, and bumpers look good as well. This old Ford was definitely used, but wasn’t abused.

I love the simplicity and unpretentious nature of pickup trucks from this era. The interior shows some of the usual paint wear and the seat has obviously been reupholstered, but it’s a good looking cabin. The seller says that when the RattleRocket Garage found this pickup in a shed on the orchard in Utah, they gave it a thorough going over to make it roadworthy and bring it up to snuff. Some of the work performed included reconditioning the fuel tank, a rebuilt carburetor, new alternator, new shocks, a tune up, and making sure the brakes worked as they should. The seller gives a list of everything that works on the truck which includes all of the lights, gauges, the wipers and washer fluid, AM radio, and even the cigarette lighter.

Although several inline-six cylinder engine options were available on the ’67 F-100, this one left the factory with the optional 352-cubic inch V8 that generated 208 horsepower when new. It’s paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with a floor shifter. The seller says the engine, “runs like a top, it runs and drives like a dream,” and that the truck “Drives straight and true…feels very tight for an old pickup.”

So what do you think? The seller says if you’re looking to step back in time, this little red Ford pickup can transport you there in style. I wish I lived closer to Washington state. I’d give this ’67 F-100 a serious looking over. How about you?
