When it comes to modern trucks, some of the things that get the most attention are the stats, such as the size of their infotainment screens or how much torque they have and how many tons they can pull. But things can be much simpler with vintage pickups: you don’t think about how many camera angles they provide while you’re towing—you can just appreciate them simply for their design. Our Pick of the Day, a 1967 Ford F-100 4X4, has great lines, plus plenty more to love. You can find it on ClassicCars.com listed by a dealer in Manhattan Beach, California.
The 1967 model year marked the introduction of the fifth-generation Ford F-Series line of trucks. Exterior updates included moving the FORD lettering to the hood, simplifying the grille, and relocating the parking lights under the headlamps.
Inside, 1967 four-wheel-drive F-100 and F-250 trucks received a wider instrument cluster, redesigned instrument panel, padded dash, three-inch-wider seat, and body-color trim, all of which made their cabins “attractive, roomier and more carlike in appearance than ever!”
“Carlike” comfort is great and all, but from the outside, an F-Series should look like a truck. This F-100 certainly does. It doesn’t need a massive lift or giant wheels and tires to do that—just a single cab, a short bed, and all-terrain rubber. A fresh coat of Boxwood Green and Wimbledon White paint, and new bumpers add to its vintage charm.
Inside the cabin, the seat belts were upgraded to three-point units, the bench seat was reupholstered in black leather, and the radio was replaced with a RetroSound stereo with Bluetooth, but nothing is jarringly anachronistic.
The engine matches the rest of this truck’s tasteful, low-key personality. It hasn’t been swapped out for a Godzilla 7.3-liter gasser; it’s a good old-fashioned 300ci inline-six, which draws fuel from a new gas tank. A four-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel drive help it get this truck down the road and over nature’s obstacles.
Whether this 1967 Ford F-100 4X4‘s handsome looks or thoughtful updates are the first thing that you notice about it, we have good news: You can buy this truck for $37,999 (OBO) and look at it—or drive it—anytime you want.
