Description

I am the second owner. I bought this truck from my former employer... a regional magazine closed its Menlo Park HQ a few years ago. This was a fleet vehicle that was used by the magazine's test garden and grounds keepers to make runs to the nursery for plants, and for top soil. It has been maintained by the company since it was purchased new in 1988. Well used but is in working order, runs like a top, exterior shows some paint deterioration (has been painted a few times), light body rust (See all pics). Dump bed is operational. This is the first year Ford offered a Fuel Injected engine. Its a big improvement over the naturally aspirated versions.. no fumes.

I will provide all the documentation I have on the truck. I have the original manuals, user guide, sales slip that lists all the features. This truck looks a bit rough but is a well running workhorse...and is way fun to drive.
