This Ford F-Series 1961-1966 got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1963 Ford F-100 is equipped with a Styleside bed and was sold new by Don’s Skyline Ford of Salem, Oregon. The truck is said to have resided on a farm in Lacomb, Oregon for most of its life, and was acquired by the previous owner after about 20 years in storage in 2008. It is powered by a 223ci inline-six backed by a 3-speed manual transmission and finished in Caribbean Turquoise. Under prior ownership it received a new clutch, throwout bearing, fuel tank, and muffler, and the selling dealer has since serviced the brakes, performed a general tune-up, and detailed the engine bay. This F-100 is offered by the selling dealer at no reserve with factory literature, service manuals, and a clean Oregon title.
The truck is finished in Caribbean Turquoise (B), and the seller reports that the grille, front bumper, and wheels were repainted in white by the previous owner. Close-up photos are provided of the finish, cab corners, and more, and the truck is fitted with a set of blue Pacific Wonderland Oregon plates and an optional passenger-side mirror.
The interior of the bed is finished in black, and the truck is equipped with a set of removable wooden stake sides. The 15″ steel wheels are fitted with silver painted hub caps and Wildcat radial tires measuring 235/75.
The previous owner re-covered the bench seat in black vinyl, and the truck features black rubberized floor coverings and body-colored interior surfaces. A radio has not been fitted. Instrumentation consists of a 100-mph speedometer, with fuel and temperature gauges in a common housing. Just under 30k miles are shown, approximately 3k of which were added over the previous owner’s 10-year ownership.
Power is provided by a 223ci inline-six (C3AE) with a single-barrel carburetor and a factory air cleaner housing. The 3-speed manual transmission features a column-mounted shifter, and drive is sent to the rear wheels via a 3.89:1 conventional rear axle. The seller reports that the previous owner replaced the clutch and throwout bearing, and re-surfaced the flywheel. Work since the selling dealer’s acquisition included a general tune-up, new rocker cover gasket, side cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and a detailing of the engine and engine bay. The seller notes rust under the battery box, which is visible from below the truck.
The previous owner also serviced the brakes and replaced the muffler and fuel tank. The selling dealer has since flushed the brake system, adjusted the brakes, and changed the transmission and rear end gear oils. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery below.
