This Ford F-Series 1973-1979 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1973 Ford F-100 is a standard-cab pickup that was delivered new to Marv Tonkin Ford of Portland, Oregon, and acquired in 2021 by the selling dealer, who reports that subsequent work included a repaint, refreshing the interior, servicing the cylinder heads, replacing the carburetor, and installing a Steerman Cycle electric power steering kit. The truck is powered by a 360ci V8 linked with a four-speed manual transmission, a single-range transfer case, and a limited-slip rear differential. Additional equipment includes a sliding rear window, 16″ steel wheels, manually locking front hubs, air conditioning, woodgrain interior trim, and a retro-look stereo. This F-100 is now offered in New York with a Deluxe Marti Report and a clean Oregon title.
