This is an extremely clean 1954 Ford F100 1/2 ton short bed. It has under 29,000 since the complete re-build. Everything on this truck works. It is a nice reliable daily driver or show truck. The truck was a high quality build and is still able to win awards at local shows. The truck cruises down the highway at 70 mph at 2300 rpm thanks to the overdrive transmission and 3:25 gears. This has always been a California truck and rarely sees rain. 


Drive-train:  

The Chevrolet 327 V8 was completely rebuilt with a mild cam ( 268 D, 450 L) and 10 to 1 compression. It has a Holley aluminum intake with Edelbrock 4 barrel carb.,  air cleaner and high volume fuel pump, Aluminum valve covers, HEI ignition with MSD 8mm wires, shorty headers with Flowmaster exhaust system and a new aluminum radiator. 

The transmission is a rebuilt S&W Performance 700R4, 4 speed automatic overdrive with Lokar fill tube.

The rear end is a Currie built Ford 9” peg leg with 3.25 gears and drum brakes hung on mono leaf springs.

The rear suspension also has an air bag system with on board compressor, interior controls and gauge.

The front suspension is a completely rebuilt Volare independent with power steering and power disc brakes.

Wheels are 18” Boze. Fronts are 18x8 with 245/45/18 Falken tires and the rears are 18x9 with 275/40/18 Falken tires.

There is a new aluminum 19 gal. fuel tank under the driver side of the cab.


Body/ Interior:  

The body is very straight and rust free with a high quality pearl yellow paint job. There have been a few touch ups and a couple minor chips from use. The front bumper has been removed and a roll pan added. The rear bumper has been raised and the mounting brackets shortened. It also has a hidden receiver trailer hitch behind the hinged license plate. The body seams have been smoothed and the emblems removed. The door handles have been shaved and the driver door is on a popper. The windows have been converted to one piece power with tinted glass. The gas filler has been placed behind a door, the hood is reverse tilt and the tailgate has a Sir Michaels smooth skin with hidden latches. The bed floor is steel and the bed, running boards, interior floor and rear cab have been coated with Tuff Skin spray one material.

The complete interior was redone including billet gauge face with 5 Classic Instruments gauges, a tach beneath the dash, billet headlight and wiper knobs, billet pop out cup holders, billet Lokar gas pedal/ linkage and brake pad, an am/fm/cd player in the glove box, tweed headliner, visors and door panels, tilt steering column with billet banjo wheel and controls, leather 60/40 seat with storage underneath, billet third brake light and 2 speed electric wipers.

The truck is currently licensed and insured in my name.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, however I will assist where I can. Or, just drive it home.

Deposit due in 3 days and full payment in 7 days unless agreed upon in advance. If terms not met the sale will be canceled. 

The truck is for sale locally and the auction could be ended if the reserve has not been met. The reserve is set lower than the current bids on comparable trucks listed.

Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.

Sunday Drive: Still thankful for supercars

Sun, Nov 26 2017

The Thanksgiving holiday meant that last week was pretty short on stories, but apparently our readers are still thankful for supercars. The biggest news of the week was the new Aston Martin Vantage, which is clothed in a new look that Autoblog readers are still very much unsure of. It's a radical departure from past Aston Martin models, and while everyone seems to agree that the profile is lovely, the squinty headlamps are a particular source of contention. Its 503 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque cannot be argued with ... oh, and a V12 may be coming soon. Moving along is a nearly new 2006 Ford GT for sale that's expected to fetch around $300,000 at auction. It's so unused that it still has plastic wrap covering the leather interior. The Ango-American theme continues with the McLaren 720S, though not in road-going form. Still, renderings of the upcoming 720S GT3 racer round out this supercar-rich recap. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print.
