i now have my 73F250 sitting in my driveway.the original condition its in is amazing.the inside is almost perfect.no tears or loose stitching in the seat,no tears in the original floor mat,only 78,000 miles on it.whats weird is i put 39,000 miles on it in just a few years and he put 39,000 on it in 40 years.the owner parked it 3 years ago.he said the only thing wrong with it when he parked it was the exhaust manifold on the drivers side was leaking and then the carb stuck after he parked it.im going to take my time and clean it up,go through the brakes,tuneup,etc. before i try to crank it.i still cant believe i got it for 500 dollars.i could only find one dent,it was a small dent on top of the bed rail.very,very,minor rust in a place or two,but even then those spots look like they dont go much deeper than the paint.the paint is peeled in a few places.i believe i will clean the surface and clear coat it.i love the patina look on original cars and trucks.
