1977 Ford Hi-Boy F-250 Crew Cab 4x4 Flatbed

Description

This is a great running and driving classic crew cab, I'd like to see it go to someone who appreciates it for what it is.
Classic barn find. Built in Canada then shipped to Englewood Colorado where it was sold new. I am the third owner. Stock features all still function as they should with the exception of the temperature gauge, all other gauges work as they should. It is a rare crew cab short bed. It has a factory built all steel flatbed with a headache rack on it. The body has very minor surface rust, otherwise rust free. Floors, rockers, body mounts are all solid. All 4 doors work as they should and each has custom built steps that fold out when the door is opened and tuck under the cab when they are closed. The seats are in original condition and have saddle blanket seat covers on them. Under the seat covers is very minor cracking but no missing padding or fabric. It has a big block 460 with an Edelbrock 600 carb. Behind that is a 4 speed transmission and a divorced transfer case. It has dual exhaust that needs replaced. It's very loud. Dual battery set up, but only has one in it now. It at some point had an aftermarket power steering setup added to it but it doesn't have a power steering pump on it now, I just drive the old school way, powered by Armstrong! The tires are very good with many miles of tread left. All glass is good except the windshield has a crack. Sliding rear window works and latches properly. Door windows and wing windows all function very smooth. Windshield wipers and washer work great. Heater is hot, not equipped with AC. The AM radio still plays good through the single speaker in the center of the dash. The interior lights all work as they should, even the dome light, exterior lights all work as they should. It has been wired for an RV style trailer plug and a round 6 style. It has an electric trailer brake controller installed. The flatbed has an under body storage box on each side with keys.
The propane tank on the bed has been removed.
I am using this truck as a daily driver and it runs and drives excellent, down the highway at 70 with no wobbles or bouncing, just floating down the road. I've averaged around 12-14 miles per gallon.
She's a great old school factory hi-boy. She deserves to be restored but is fully functional as it is.
It's a real head turner and gets tons of compliments every where she goes.
Please feel free to ask any questions, and if your local to Colorado Springs I'd be happy to show her to you and maybe take her for a spin.

Lots of folks asking about a lower price because they only want parts, I will not drop the price below the reserve. I WILL NOT PART IT OUT. I will relist if it doesn't sell, of you are truly interested, place a bid.
