Clean and Original 1970 F-100 Is Keepin’ Stock Style Alive
You don’t have to have big wheels, a V8, and a shaved body to be cool.
Modifying old trucks has been a thing for decades, and it remains a popular endeavor today. So much so, in fact, that it’s kind of weird to see an old, stock Ford truck. Slammed, big wheeled trucks are so common these days you might feel peer pressured into building one yourself. But as this clean, stock 1970 F-100 proves, you certainly don’t have to succumb to that pressure.
We recently came across the classy ride on the Mecum auctions site, and obviously, it caught our eye immediately. Partly because it’s so nice, and partly because you just never see these things without dropped suspensions and wheels anymore. Heck, it’s even got a flareside bed, which you rarely see these days. Call it a breath of fresh air or an anomaly, but we’ll simply call it cool.
Add in the fact that it’s got 240 inline six under the hood, and you’ve got something guaranteed to stand out at your next show. The frame-off restored beauty also sports the original 3-speed manual transmission, AM/FM stereo, and *gasp* steel wheels with caps and white wall tires.
We’re sure that whoever buys this classy 1970 F-100 will undoubtedly feel the urge to make some changes. After all, this isn’t exactly a truck that one might consider a collector’s item (at the moment, anyway). But we hope they resist that urge and keep her as is. Because in this day and age, stock vintage Ford trucks are less common than modified ones. And after scoping out this beauty, it’s hard to see why.
