California Original, 1977 Ford F-150 Ranger 4x4 Short-bed Rare Step-side

Contact | Website | Ebay Feedback This is a 1977 Ford F-150 Ranger short-bed step-side 4x4. This is a pretty unique original California truck.
The truck starts right up and runs well. The transmission shifts properly and engages properly into 4x4 w/locking hubs.
The brakes stop the truck fine and the suspension feels good. We did not drive the truck to far but the drive-train seemed to be solid. The current odometer reading is 43,311, however due to the age, 5 digit odometer and lack of history we are unable to verify the actual mileage.
The paint is largely original and in very nice condition for being as old as it is. Original decals and striping is still in tact and looks very good. The body is solid with very little rust all of which other than a few pinholes under the rear window are on panels that are technically not attached to the actual body of the truck (ie; a few small small spots on the doors and rear fenders.All of the important parts like the frame, floors and cab corners are all rock solidwith only some surface discoloration (see pics). The structural integrity of the truck is second to none.
-Nice solid wood bed which is perfectly usable for hauling but would obviously need to be sanded and refinished to look amazing!
-Good chrome, and trim is all present. The front bumper has a slight bend towards the middle and still looks good and is very presentable.
-Solid tube style rear bumper
-Still bears both of it's original front and rear California license plates which verify its registration history in the Golden state since new.
-The windshield is cracked
-Drivers side window regulator needs to be replaced. Right now the window is in the down position.
-Inside drivers door handle is missing
The interior is in nice original condition. The dash has a few minor cracks. The carpeting shows normal wear and tear and looks good. All gages show normal readings. The fuel gauge work's intermittently.
This is a great restoration candidate or drive and enjoy as-is. The truck has great bones and has been sitting for a while so it should be gone through before becoming a daily driver. The carburetor has already been rebuilt along with the fuel tank removal/cleaning/resealed.
