Ford Other Pickups 1974 Description

1974 FORD COURIER PICKUP
AMAZING CONDITION / COOLEST MINI-TRUCK AROUNDEVERYTHING WORKS EXACTLY LIKE IT SHOULD...NEEDS NOTHING!
1.8 LITER MAZDA ENGINE WITH 19K MILES ON FULL REBUILD/ HAVE ALL PAPERWORKFROM SHOP($1700 WORTH)
4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH NEW CLUTCH/ PRESSURE PLATE, T/O BEARING ETC
NEW CLUTCH SLAVE AND MASTER CYLINDERS
BRAKES RECENTLY REDONE, E-BRAKE ADJUSTED
WIDE WHITE WALL TIRES ARE AT LEAST 90% TREAD. THESE ARE NOT MANUFACTURED AS WIDE WHITE WALLS,
BUT WERE CONVERTED FROM STANDARD WHITEWALLS WITH SOME METICULOUS GRINDER WORK,
(SEE YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON HOW THIS IS DONE).
3" LOWERING ON ALL 4 CORNERS...DONE RIGHT, RIDES SMOOTHLY EVEN WITH A LOAD IN IT SUCH AS MY DIRTBIKE AND GEAR.
NEW EXHAUST WITH FLOWMASTER MUFFLER, HAS THAT DEEP THROATY "OLD SCHOOL" SOUND TO IT, BUT NOT OVERLY LOUD OR "RAPPY" LIKE THE NEWER RICE BURNERS.
WEBBER CARB CONVERSION WITH FRESH REBUILD KIT
1-WIRE GM ALTERNATOR CONVERSION. NEVER WORRY ABOUT EXPENSIVE & HARD TO FIND CHARGING SYSTEM PARTS GOING OUT.
HEADLIGHTS CONVERTED TO H4 HID TYPE HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE THEGOOD ALUMINUM AND GLASS ONES, NOT PLASTIC CHINESE JUNK. SUPER BRIGHT.
REBUILT & LUBED WIPER LINKAGE SYSTEM WITH PARTS FROM 3 TRUCKS. NEW WIPER REFILLS, BUT RETAINED OLD RETRO STYLE STAINLESS ARMS & BLADES.
STILL HAS RARELY SEEN FRONT SKID PLATE & ORIGINAL BIAS PLY SPARE.STEEL PAINTED FLOOR WITH GENUINE FORD FLOOR MATS.
RADIATOR FLUSHED & TESTED WHEN ENGINE REBUILT. DOES NOT OVERHEAT.
ALL NEW HOSES, BELTS, ETC.
I RESEALED THE SEAMS AND THE BOLTS, PASS THROUGHS, ETC IN THE COWL AREA.
STEERING IS VERY TIGHT AND VEHICLE DOES NOT "WANDER". IT DRIVES LIKE A NEW TRUCK.
ORIGINAL AM RADIO WITH NEW UPGRADED DUAL CONE SPEAKER WORKS GREAT.
NEW WINDSHIELD AND GASKET.
CONVERTED HI/LO BEAM SWITCH TO COMMON FLOOR TYPE, INSTEAD OF OLD PROBLEMATIC AND OBSOLETE COLUMN ONE. I USED PARTS OFF OF 3 TRUCKS WHEN METICULOUSLY RESTORING EVERY SYSTEM ON THIS THING, AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAD A WORKING HI/LO COLUMN SWITCH.
THIS TRUCK IS AMAZING TO DRIVE, IT IS LIKE STEPPING BACK IN TIME AND DRIVING A NEW ONE.
I CANNOT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT GETTING LOTS OF COMMENTS ON IT.
I HAVE YET TO SEE ANOTHER SINGLE FORD COURIER ON THE ROAD SINCE I STARTED THIS PROJECT.
I TRIED TO GET PHOTOS OF THE IMPERFECTIONS IN THE PAINT. IT IS NOT PERFECT BY ANY MEANS, BUT IT IS GLOSSY AND LOOKS AMAZING FOR ITS AGE. ONE SMALL SPOT ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SILVER DOLLAR ON THE FENDER HAS COMPROMISED CLEAR COAT AND THERE IS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BODY FILLER CRACK ON THE HOOD.
THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY MAJOR RUST ISSUES. THERE IS THE ONE SPOT ON THE LEFT FRONT EDGE OF THE BED IN THE PICTURE AND SOME TYPICAL SURFACE RUST IN THE BED ETC. THERE IS NO RUST IN THE FLOORS OR AROUND THE WINDSHIELD OR ANY OTHER MAJOR RUST. THE HUBCAPS HAVE SOME LIGHT SURFACE RUST, BUT IT KIND OF GIVES THEM SOME "RETRO" CHARACTER.
I ALWAYS KEEP THIS VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT.
I AM READY TO MOVE ON TO ANOTHER PROJECT NOW THAT THIS PROJECT IS DONE.
I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE TITLE SAYS "RECONSTRUCTED", THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT KNOW EITHER.CALL WITH QUESTIONS 541-844-926ZEROMY COMPUTER WOULD ONLY LET ME UPLOAD 12 PHOTOS. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BID, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT dougbennett09@aol.com SO I CAN SEND YOU ALL THE PICS I INTENDED TO PUT IN HERE. (ABOUT 30)
