1959 F-250 4X4 LONGBED

1959 Ford F-250 Custom Additional Info:

Up for sale is my very rare first year of production 1959 F250 4x4. It has 4 speed on the floor. The wheels are a one of a kind Custom made Weld Wheels and a lift kit was installed. The truck has an older restoration and makes for a great driver condition. This truck is not museum perfect but I would not of bought it if it was a cobble up heap. Yes, it has bondo but I consider it a very solid truck {not a rust bucket} for its era. I am a accomplished bodyman/restro/mechanic guy even though I retired from the insurance industry. There are no signs of any collision damages. All the fender lips are solid with no bondo. No visible signs of patch panels ect. Check out the door undersides, this speaks for the care of this vehicle thru the years.The interior bedside show no signs of collision or damages. The undercarriage is beautifully done. I drive the truck occasionally 30-40 miles in a trip and reach speeds of 55mph with no issues. I'm going to guess that the motor is a 292 and never confirm if it is the original.
It has a Dana 24 divorce transfer case and Ford differentials. I have the original Ford Dealer's 1959 Service Policy and Owner's Manual.Overall the truck is in great shape considering what farmer's bought these truck for! To use!
The truck bed has been overlaid with plate steel and has bed liner spray applied. Looking underneath you can still see the original bed floor with no rust. It has a full floating rear end assy which is standard on 3/4 ton pickup for that era. I replaced one of the rear axles seals which is easy with full floating assy's. I also had the front drive shaft rebuilt completely. The 4 wheel drive works and looks like the Warn hubs are original{have the original warranty}. There is a tach in the dash which were made for larger Fords of that era and require a mechanical tach drive distributor which is like finding a dinosaur egg;} But looks cool!. Manual brakes and steering. It has 2016 Missouri State inspection and license. I have the original Bill of Sales from the Dealership for add on AM radio, $49. I have the radio but during the restoration someone decided to cover the radio open in the dash.
The truck is for sale locally and reserve the right to cancel/remove/end at anytime before or after auction.
