The truck is finished in blue and features chrome bumpers, running boards, body-color side mirrors, flush-mounted door pulls, recessed front turn signals, tinted windows, and a rubberized roof covering. The wood-paneled cargo section is said to be crafted from Tasmanian oak and incorporates taillights from a Ford XH Falcon utility as well as a center high-mount stop light. The tailgate is hinged at the top, and lift is assisted by dual gas springs. Delamination at the edges of the windshield can be viewed in the gallery.
Cream-finished 15” wire wheels wear chrome center caps and are mounted with 205/60 front and 245/60 rear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. A spare is stored in the rear cargo area. The truck is equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, and stopping power is provided by power-assisted disc brakes up front and drums out back.
The right-hand-drive cabin features two bucket seats trimmed in gray vinyl with patterned cloth inserts along with a color-coordinated dash, door panels, and carpets. Wood trim accents the dash as well as the steering wheel, and additional appointments include a Kenwood AM/FM cassette stereo, three-point seatbelts, and power windows. A toggle switch below the dash is connected to an electric pusher fan mounted ahead of the radiator.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a combination gauge. A coolant temperature gauge is mounted below the dash, and the selling dealer notes that the fuel gauge fluctuates. The five-digit odometer shows 76k miles, and true mileage is unknown.
The replacement 351ci Cleveland V8 features an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor as well as a PerTronix Flame-Thrower distributor and electronic ignition system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C4 three-speed automatic transmission and an 8” rear end. Tubular headers flow into a crossover pipe and centrally mounted dual exhaust outlets with stainless-steel finishers.
