1960 Ford F100 Shortbed 7560cc V8 For Sale

For sale on The Market for a buy it now, at - details above

Current owner Mike, who also has a rat rod in his impressive car collection, bought this 1960 F-100 on a whim from a chap with a prosthetic leg who was experiencing difficulty operating the brake pedal.

After spending its last days in the US in San Francisco, it was imported into the UK in 2000, at which point its Californian registration tag of BAS 795 was swapped for its current UK reg number 339 UYM.

Featuring the big wraparound windscreen that typifies trucks from this era, it’s a short-bed StyleSide, which was Ford’s name for the integrated cab/ bed look usually referred to in non-Fords as ‘Flareside’.

Current owner Mike thinks that the excellent restoration was probably carried out in the US rather than the UK. The original red and white two-tone paint has been replaced by a much more moody matt grey and dark red scheme. The red on the roof and on some of the interior panels could well be the original 1960 hue. A very high quality job has been done on re-timbering the bed with an oiled hardwood that (Mike ventures) might be oak.

He also thinks that the truck may have begun life with the base 223ci inline six. At some point in its life, a US owner decided that a more impressive engine would be just the ticket. As a result it now runs a 460ci 7. 5-litre V8 that Ford first used in the 1968 Lincoln Continental, where it was billed as a 365bhp engine. The last of the big-block Fords, this engine was also used in ‘small’ 429 (!) format in the formidable Boss Mustang. Very understressed, it was still powering heavy-duty Ford F350 pickups well into the 1990s.

Anyone who drove a factory spec gen-three F100 in period would probably rub their eyes in disbelief at the tightness of the panel gaps on this one. Whoever did the restoration certainly knew their stuff.

Many of the body bits for these pickups like the grille, bumpers, bonnet and tailgate are becoming hard to get now, so it’s a relief to see just how straight everything is here. The vendor believes that the FoMOCo watermarked glass is all original, and the window rubbers look fresh and flexible. It’s not known whether the steel wheels with their unusual chromed five-bolt cover plates are the originals, but their patinated look really adds to the truck’s rust-belt appeal.

Close examination will reveal specks of brown on (for example) the edge where the roof panel meets the back wall, on the tailgate, and on the steps and lower trailing edges of the cab unit, and there’s some light shadowing to the bonnet slam panel, but for a sixty year old vehicle it’s really clean and overall the restoration is holding up very well.

The truck has had a 12-inch suspension drop, but Mike describes the ride as comfy and remembers how easily it handled a heavy payload of tiles and cement bags.
