1973 FORD F100

1973 Ford F-100 4x4 Short Bed – Original Paint | 71k Original Miles | EFI 460 V8 | Rust-Free | XLT

This exceptional 1973 Ford F-100 4x4 Short Bed is one of the finest original bumpside Ford trucks you'll find. Showing just 71,602 original miles, this truck was purchased from its original owner in 2020 and has been meticulously maintained, thoughtfully upgraded, and always stored indoors.

Finished in what the seller states is its original paint, this rust-free F-100 combines incredible originality with high-quality performance upgrades, making it equally suited for collector ownership and long-distance driving. A third-party classic vehicle inspection completed on July 2, 2026 reportedly found no issues and gave the truck outstanding marks.
