1970 Ford F-100

Inline 6 | 3 Speed Manual | Factory F100 Custom Short Bed | Complete Body Off Restoration 2016 | Deluxe Mart Report

The timeless styling of Ford’s iconic F-Series meets tasteful craftsmanship and dependable simplicity in this beautifully restored 1970 Ford F100 Custom Short Bed.
Power comes from Ford’s dependable inline-six engine paired with the desirable three-speed column-shift manual transmission, delivering a nostalgic driving experience that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. Hedman headers feed a custom dual exhaust system for a crisp, unmistakable exhaust note, while the 3.00:1 rear gear allows the truck to comfortably cruise at 60 MPH with the engine turning just 2,000 RPM.

The suspension has been tastefully lowered approximately three inches, giving the truck an aggressive yet refined stance. A dropped I-beam front suspension is complemented by new Eaton Detroit Spring lowering leaf springs in the rear, maintaining excellent ride quality while dramatically improving its appearance. Rolling on 18-inch Detroit Steel Smoothie wheels wrapped in Cooper Evolution 235/55R18 tires, the truck perfectly blends classic styling with modern road manners.

Finished in a stunning two-tone combination of Seafoam Green and Chrysler Cool Vanilla, the body showcases a high-quality professional frame-off restoration. Metal preparation and paintwork were completed to an exceptional standard, with beautiful panel alignment and consistent gaps throughout. The body, paint, fit, and finish are outstanding, while the doors close with the reassuring solid feel expected from a properly restored classic. A spray-in bedliner protects the bed without distracting from the truck’s clean presentation.

Inside, the custom two-tone interior continues the truck’s thoughtful design. The custom upholstered bench seat complements the exterior color scheme, while a custom dash panel houses a full set of Dolphin analog gauges, blending vintage styling with improved functionality. Every piece of glass has been replaced with lightly tinted glass, accompanied by all new weatherstripping and seals for a quiet, well-finished cabin.

Keeping with its classic personality, the truck retains manual steering and a dual master cylinder drum brake system, offering an authentic driving experience while benefiting from the added safety of the upgraded dual-circuit braking system.

This 1970 Ford F100 Custom Short Bed is the kind of truck that’s becoming increasingly difficult to duplicate—a true turnkey classic ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
