I am the 3rd owner of this 1955 Ford f-100 completely restored with 95,000 original miles. I installed a Remanufactured 1983 Ford 300 ci 6 cyl with Offenhauser 4 bb manifold, AFB 500 cfm rebuilt carb, headers, AOD overdrive automatic transmission, Old Air air conditioner (cold!), Toyota pickup power steering box, tilt wheel, power drum brakes, all new mono-leaf lowering springs and shocks, base coat/clear coat paint in the original Ford Oceantone Blue color, 23 coats of urethane on the hardwood box boards, new steel front fenders and box sides, all stainless steel fasteners on a 3/4 body off restore, hidden trailer hitch for that teardrop camper or vintage boat you may want to tow behind, stereo with 4 speakers, newly upholstered seat and interior, original wiring updated. Turn key to cruise 65-70 on interstate, drives like a champ, rides like a F-100. All work was done by me, an ex certified mechanic, to the highest of my ability. All modifications to the truck to install the engine, etc. were fabricated to be bolt in so they could be removed if desired, (no welded in angle iron butchery here!) I kept the frame horns in case someone wants to replace the front bumper, extra parts are included. |
