Classic F-100 buyers
Sell a Classic Ford F-100, 1953–1983
The F-100 carries Ford's pickup bench from 1953 to 1983 — through the F-100 to F-150 change — and the four-wheel-drive trucks, including the highboy, are the ones we want most.
The offer we make is the offer you get for 7 days.*
The price holds as long as the vehicle, title, mileage, and condition match what you submitted. If hidden or unreported damage is found at pickup, we’ll make the adjustment and give you a counter-offer on the spot — and the decision is yours.

From F-100 to F-150, and the highboy
The name changed along the way and sellers should not be confused by it. Ford's light pickup was the F-100 through 1983; the F-150 name arrived in 1975 as a heavier half-ton alongside it and eventually replaced the F-100 badge entirely. Both names, across the whole 1953 to 1983 run, are wanted here — the 1953 to 1956 trucks, the slick and bumpside trucks of the sixties, and the dentside trucks of the seventies.
The trucks that lead the page are the four-wheel-drive ones. Four-wheel drive is the number one specification we look for on any classic truck, and on the F-series that includes the celebrated highboy: the 1967 to 1977 four-wheel-drive F-250 with its factory-lifted stance, divorced transfer case, and narrow frame. A genuine highboy is a prized truck; a two-wheel-drive F-100 is still a wanted truck, priced on its own condition.
Condition and completeness, the Ford-truck way
F-series trucks lived as work trucks, farm trucks, and family trucks, and most carry that history openly: dents, repaint, a swapped engine, a bed that has hauled everything. All of that is priced as condition in the inspection, not held against the truck. What matters most, as on our classic Ford page and our classic car hub, is completeness — engine, transmission, bed, glass, trim, and interior present — and a body and frame that are not rusted through.
Originality helps: a factory four-wheel-drive truck, a documented highboy, a truck with its original drivetrain. But a solid truck with a swapped engine is still a solid truck, and the inspection prices what is there rather than what the brochure promised.
Complete F-100s, running or not
A complete F-100 that does not run can be bought, even with a genuinely failed engine, because these pre-computer trucks can be overhauled. Tell us the year, whether it is two- or four-wheel drive, short-bed or long-bed, and how long it has sat. We inspect it where it sits in Orange County, pay at pickup if you accept the offer, and tow it free. No fees, no consignment.
Classic seller questions
Do you buy both F-100 and F-150 trucks?
Yes — the whole 1953 to 1983 run, under either badge. The F-150 name arrived in 1975 and eventually replaced F-100; both are wanted here.
What is a highboy, and why is it special?
The highboy is the 1967 to 1977 four-wheel-drive F-250 with a factory-lifted stance and a divorced transfer case. It is a prized truck — but a genuine highboy is priced on confirmed specification, not on the claim alone.
Is four-wheel drive important on an F-100?
Yes — it is the top specification we look for on any classic truck. A 4x4 F-series truck is always prioritised over a two-wheel-drive equivalent.
My F-100 is a rough work truck that does not run. Can you buy it?
If it is complete, yes — even with a dead engine. An incomplete truck, missing major parts, or one rusted through is the honest exception.
