1953 Ford F100 Pickup

Description:

This 1953 Ford F100 is a modified pickup with various updates to its interior and drivetrain. It has been used primarily for car shows and is currently listed as a project vehicle. It is drivable but is recommended for restoration to fully realize its potential.

Key Features:

• Engine & Drivetrain:

  • Engine: Equipped with a 350 Chevy engine that runs very well.
  • Transmission: Automatic transmission.
  • Rear End: DANA rear.

• Steering:

  • Modification: GM steering column with a small steering wheel installed. Note: The current steering setup makes the truck difficult to handle at slow speeds, even with power steering.

• Interior:

  • Comfort: The interior is comfortable but requires attention. None of the gauges are functioning, and some wiring needs cleanup.
  • Steering Issues: Due to the steering modifications, it’s recommended to consider a Mustang II front end and a mini-restoration for improved handling.

• Body & Paint:

  • Condition: The body is in decent shape with very little or no rust. The paint job is presentable but not flawless.
  • Restoration Needs: The truck shows well but requires some repairs. The body needs minimal repair work, but a thorough inspection and potential restoration are advised.

• Additional Notes:

  • The truck is sold AS-IS and should be evaluated by a qualified technician to ensure roadworthiness.
  • Ideal for: This vehicle is a great candidate for someone mechanically inclined who can complete the necessary updates and repairs. It’s a project vehicle that will benefit from a Mustang II front end and some general restoration work.
