suitable for restoration
Time to part with it. Thought there would be time and resources to restore this beauty, but doesn’t look like health cooperative.
Original Ford logo intact, lots of history,
Lots of photos, PM me

Member's name is Greg92833. It's his only post and it's in the wrong section of that Forum so perhaps an old school type. I don't know if he is a member here. I PM'd him and posted on the thread in that Forum but no reply yet. Hoping to get a number or email for you guys to send to.

*Edit He posted his phone number when another member named Jack Innes showed interest.

Again, no connection to and no other details known about the Seller. Just as FYI for MLU-ers. He may be listing somewhere else like Kijiji or Auto Trader. :)

I reached out to the vendor. The truck in question is missing the coveted rear body, so no gem here unfortunately. The seller representing his elderly father on his behalf. The asking price is very unrealistic considering what's being offered IMHO.

I would agree with the observations Chris stated.

I do not know the seller but he seemed like a good fellow when I spoke to him. Here are good pictures he sent me showing the truck as it is;

Many many years ago the owner let me move my just recovered 11 cab C-CT to his place for a few weeks until I could get it home. Somewhere I have a pic of this F-GT beside my (now ex) C-GT. I'll post if I can find it.

... a few images ...

the rear of the cab looks like the roof from the body
