You are Bidding on my 1955 Ford Pickup.

The paint as you view it has taken 3 Generations of ownership to acheive and a Life-time of Memories.

The Truck lives here in Bakersfield California just a very short 12 miles from the "World Famous" Famosa Drag Strip, it has spent it's entire life Here, with the exception of the first year which was spent in a high desert community between Bakersfield and Los Angeles.

You will notice the "Typical City or County" Orange paint weathered under the Burgandy, yep it was originally a 6-cylinder 3 speed County owned truck that went to auction shortly after its first year of service because the town which owned became over extended and it was sold at auction.

It has spent the rest of its life between home and the Dragstrip with countless trips to Muroc and Utah to the Salt at Bonneville. She still wears the decals of visits past and hope she always will.

The truck was stolen in 2009 but recovered, it was at this point I decided to give her a "New Life".

This has been a Very Tough Decision on my part and my Son and Grandson's to even offer this truck up for Auction, but we have so lets get on with the details of the package.

There are 282 miles total on the 454 Big Block Chevy,Thumper Cam, Rectangular Port Heads, Built and done correctly.

Exhaust system is completly new and does have "Electric Cut-outs", and they sound great. So extra nice to have that Hot Rod Noise and added boost at your finger tips.

Horse-Power is backed-up by a Freshly built 700R Automatic Transmission with the same mileage time.

The Rearend is a "Currie" 9" unit running 3.78"s which make for a wonderful High-way crusing truck.

TCI Mustang Front End with 4 wheel Disc Brakes all the way around. It runs and stops the way it should be expected to.

Full Chrome Tilt Steering Column, and a beautiful engine turned dash.

The Upolstery is a very traditional "Black & White Tuck and Roll with pleated inserts and door panels to match. Headliner is smooth and perfect to match.

Firestone 16's all the way around 890's in the rear and 600's in the front. Truck drives smooth and straight. No Problems.

All wiring and electrical Front to back and Fuse Panel under dash is New and everything works as it should.

This time around we went to one-piece windows to keep the wind-wing bandits away, added under dash heat and air.

Bed wood is new with Stainless steel strips and all stainless steel hardware throughout.

Tilt Hood as shown.

I do have the spare tire carrier which has been powder coated Glossy Black. I also have a complete set of new door rubbers which will also go with the truck along with photos of the truck throughout its rebuild.

My Eddie Meyer Air-Cleaner will not be included with the truck as it was a gift from my wife. (No Exceptions Guys, Sorry)

I'm sure that I have left something out so please ask. I will reply as quick as I can, however I do actually have a real Job and do not have constant access to be able to respond.

Please do not wait until the closing moments of the auction to ask questions because you will be geeted by thin air it just will not get a response on short notice.

The Truck is listed with a very realistic reserve considering what it was, and what it is today. You couldn't Fake this Truck in your wildest Dream.

It is what it is so view the pictures and bid accordingly.

Please Note, if you have less than favorable or a recent negative or non-Payment Strike your Bid will be cancelled No Exceptions.

Just ask if you are in Doubt!
