1968 Ford F-100 Standard Cab 3-Speed

Description

The Ford F‑Series has long been a cornerstone of America’s light‑duty truck heritage, with each generation building on a reputation for durability and honest utility. Introduced for the 1967 model year, the fifth‑generation F‑100 carried forward its utilitarian character while benefiting from improved ride quality, updated styling, and dependable, proven powertrains. By ‘68, the F‑Series reached an important transitional moment, successfully blending traditional straight‑axle ruggedness with increasingly civilized road manners and refined drivability.

This 1968 Ford F‑100 Standard Cab has been refinished in period-correct Rangoon Red over a color-matched red vinyl and cloth interior. It is powered by a carbureted 240ci inline‑six engine paired with a 3‑speed column-shift manual transmission. The seller reports the truck was refurbished under previous ownership completed, with mechanical, cosmetic, and interior renewal while intentionally retaining some exterior patina and wear.

The refurbishment, which is said to have been completed in 2024, included replacement of various mechanical items including the clutch as well as exhaust, cooling and fuel system, and electrical components. Additionally, the frame and underside were refinished and interior trim was replaced. The truck's brakes are said to have been serviced, and stainless steel brake lines have been installed.

This 1968 Ford F‑100 Standard Cab is now offered with a Deluxe Marti Report, refurbishment documentation, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
