Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

The rebuilt 390ci FE V8 looks clean and polished, anchored by the rare 428 Police Interceptor aluminum intake, wrapped headers, and fresh electrical plumbing. Underneath, the C6 automatic transmission, Twin-I-Beam front end, and heavy-duty rear axle demonstrate a rugged, well-serviced chassis built for real-world utility. Set high on 18-inch Moto Metal wheels and 33-inch tires with crisp Jungle Green paint, this classic F-250 displays an exceptionally sharp, tough truck stance.

Description

This 1972 Ford F-250 Custom single-cab pickup is a restored three-quarter-ton truck powered by a freshly rebuilt 390ci FE V8 engine paired with a C6 three-speed automatic transmission. Purchased by the seller as a running project in 2020, the truck underwent cosmetic restoration by Slauson Auto Restoration in Los Angeles, including bodywork and a paint overhaul. It is equipped with Vintage Air climate control, an upgraded cooling system, a custom bed-mounted toolbox, and a heavy-duty towing hitch receiver with electric brake controls. It is now offered with documentation and service receipts for the engine and bodywork along with a clean California title.

The steel body is refinished in a custom Jungle Green paint scheme offset by satin black trim, black side mirrors, and black front and rear bumpers. The truck bed features a spray-in bedliner along with a lockable, black bed-mounted storage toolbox.

The truck rides on 18-inch black Moto Metal alloy wheels wrapped in 33x12.50R18 LT Atlas Priva off-road tires.

The single-cab interior features a bench seat upholstered in dark green vinyl, complemented by green door panels, black and grey floor coverings, and a painted green dashboard. Amenities include a Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system, manual crank windows, a decorative original dashboard radio unit, and functional exterior lighting controls.

The interior also features an aftermarket steering wheel set ahead of factory instrumentation including a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, battery voltage, and fuel level. A column-mounted shifter manages the C6 automatic transmission. A plastic cupholder and storage unit is bolted to the floor.

The engine bay houses a 390ci Ford FE big-block V8 rebuilt in 2024 with new cylinders, connecting rods, bearings, and a Comp Cams high-performance camshaft. Induction is supplied via an NOS aluminum 428 Police Interceptor intake manifold, while cooling is handled by a replacement original-style radiator, mechanical fan, dual electric fan, and a new water pump. Additional electrical updates include a Powermaster starter, a 100/150-amp alternator, electronic distributor, replacement wiring, and wrapped exhaust headers feeding a dual exhaust system. Power is routed through a serviced C6 three-speed automatic transmission to a heavy-duty rear differential.

The chassis utilizes Ford's Twin-I-Beam front suspension and a heavy-duty leaf-sprung rear axle with refreshed suspension and brake components. Stopping power is provided by a hydraulic brake system with a dual-circuit master cylinder, while a rear receiver hitch is paired with an electric trailer brake wiring connection.

I’m new to all of this. Is this a cash only purchase?

Any idea on the amount of power the engine produces?

Janitor Seller Oct 11, 1:42 pm PDT
With 428 air intake , headers, and dual exhaust it makes between 250 and 300 horsepower
wypaladin • Oct 11, 9:17 am PDT

Can you send me a photograph of the truck's original Ford identification/rating plate

Janitor Seller Oct 11, 11:13 am PDT
Yes !
Janitor Seller Oct 11, 1:31 pm PDT
Sorry! Maybe this will be more helpful and accurate
wypaladin • Oct 11, 9:17 am PDT

Also, can you provide me with the truck's current rear axle ratio, actual axle ratings, or safe towing capacity

Janitor Seller Oct 11, 11:34 am PDT
Light green color around the label is the original paint of the truck
wypaladin • Oct 11, 9:17 am PDT

Can you post the truck's door-jamb certification label and any documentation identifying the rear axle ratio.

Janitor Seller Oct 11, 11:24 am PDT
4.10:1 gear ratio and 7,000 lbs. towing capacity
SBinSB Bidder • Oct 10, 3:22 pm PDT

Is it possible to come see it in person?

Janitor Seller Oct 10, 4:44 pm PDT
Yes. Absolutely. I am in Los Angeles. Near LAX and El Segundo
Janitor Seller Oct 10, 4:45 pm PDT
Tomorrow or Monday is good day. Let me know 👍
puterbob1 • Oct 10, 7:50 am PDT

Why is the front end a different color green than the rest of the truck?

Janitor Seller Oct 10, 10:42 am PDT
It’s the same color everywhere. It’s has never been in any accident. Paint has been done in 2022. The hood was touched up due some minor scratches when engine was rebuilt.

ZachRestomods Staff Oct 9, 1:54 pm PDT

I'm new here. How do you know if a vehicle has a reserve and, if so, if it has been met? Do you have a "Buy it now" option? Thanks for your help.

ZachRestomods Staff Oct 8, 11:20 am PDT
Welcome to BuyTheCar! All auctions on our platform have a reserve unless specified with a "No Reserve" banner over the auction image. The seller is not permitted to disclose this reserve, however, they are always welcome to lower or remove their reserve at any time, which will send a notification to all bidders and commenters. There is no "buy it now" option; you'll have to place some bids if you're looking for a deal!

What's the story with the paint? The front half looks like a different shade of green than the cab and bed sides. Also looks like the drivers side rear leaf-pack is popping out of the mount

Janitor Seller Oct 8, 3:39 pm PDT
Hi There! Thanks for pointing out the Leaf- pack. I have to check with my mechanic. He just replaced those U- bolts on the axle. The paint everywhere is the same. It’s just sunlight during different times of the day and different angles makes pictures look like that.
Janitor Seller Oct 9, 3:17 pm PDT
Yes. Thanks again for pointing out on the rear suspension. We will add extra clamps on those leaf shocks. Hope it will be done over this weekend.
