1954 Ford F100 Chopped Top Lead Sled Rat Rod Custom Hot Lowrider Custom on 2040-cars

Here’s a sweet 1954 Ford F100pickup!  Completed just this past fall it’s as fresh as they come, with the look that everyone wants and all the right modern upgrades to make it drive like a more modern truck.  Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time cruising.  The truck comes with a NY state registration. 

This is a custom truck that you won’t find anywhere else. The roof has been chopped 5 inches.  The front bumpers are 1958 Chrysler Imperial and the grill has been treated with a POR-15 product over scuff polished steel.  The hood has a reverse hinge kit and operatessmoother than most factory reverse hoods.  The bed is a Ford Ranger step-side with F100 fenders grafted into it, giving a more appealing look then the old utilitarian beds of the time.  The bed also includes a late 80’s flip open Jaguar fuel cap, 1955 Thunderbird tail lights and 1958 Impala reverse lights.  The tail gate has been fabricated so it could be removed and a worthy motorcycle could ride in the bed.  The rear bumpers consist of a little 50’s Desoto Grill and some 50’s Chevy bumper parts. The running boards are even completely unique.  The windshield is a polycarbonate plastical so included with the sale is a solid side glass kit that will still need tobe installed. 

The paint is a Hot Rod Flatz SteelBlue with old school scallops in a darker navy blue and finished off with beautiful pinstripes laid down by Mark Matyjakowski.  http://www.pinheadlounge.com/MarkMatyjakowski   The bed has beenlined with a super hard two part epoxy tan finish that will take a hatchet tochip and should possibly outlast the steel it’s applied to.

The truck has the drive train of a1994 Ford Ranger which includes power steering, power brakes, disc brakes upfront, independent front suspension and an automatic transmission.  This makes maintenance on this truck very easy considering all the parts are very attainable at most any local parts shop.  The front brakes are brand new, including all new brake and fuel lines throughout the truck, the rear drum brakes still need to be replaced. The front suspension consists of a brand new DJM Suspension Dream Beams dropped I-beams and the rear is a DJM flip kit.  The truck rolls on old 15 inch steel wheels, wrapped in NOS vintage Firestone bias ply wide whites.  Inclueded with truck is one spare matching tire.

The reverse hinged hood opens up toreveal a strong running 4.0 V6 Ford Ranger engine, with a custom cold airintake.  (Consider that they have several V8 swaps available for these frames)  The exhaust system has been completely replaced to include the manifolds, down tube and oxygen sensors.  Some Thrush mufflers finish off the exhaust with a nice throaty sound and a pair of tips stick out each side of the truck for an old style custom look.  The Radiator and A/C Condenser are also brand. 

This truck has that new car smell we all love as a result of the freshly wrapped seat and door panels.  This brown faux leather interior looks and even acts just like real leather and durable enough to be used for outdoor furniture.  The truck maintains factory Ford Ranger heat and A/C with the controls hidden in the glove box. The gaugecluster is factory F100 with a working retro-fit speedometer.    The custom 50’s Pontiac gauge pods in thecenter of the dash display water temp and oil pressure.  Finishing off the door panels with a set of armrests out of an early 60's Ford Fairlane.  Another nice little addition is the modified shifter that has been langth end and toped with a number 4 pool ball.

NOTE:  The two photos of the truck out doors with out the model, you'll notice it's missing it's pin stripes, sits on differant wheels and the windshield it not full.  These photos were older and taken before the truck was finished to the point it is now.
