Used 1953 Ford F100 for sale in Fort Worth, TX
Vehicle Description
The Ford's utilitarian interior got a huge makeover, anchored by a set of bucket seats that were cut down and wrapped in supple beige leather that's all-day comfortable. Accentuated by subtle red stitching and supported by a custom center console, all pretext of working for a living has been wiped out, creating a luxury-oriented cockpit that's a pleasure to visit. The door panels were upholstered to match the seats, as was the back of the cab, although the headliner was wrapped in black to mirror the look of the top of the dash. A tilt steering column with a later-model GM steering wheel makes it easy to get comfortable, a tall Lokar shifter juts out from the floorboard and falls easy to hand, and there's a full set of handsome white-faced Stewart Warner gauges inside a custom chrome bezel in the dash. Note how beautifully fitted the headliner is, the custom door panels with integrated chrome handles, and the neatly tailored black carpets with matching floor mats, none of which was inexpensive. Vintage Air A/C was installed under the dash and is so cleanly done that it almost looks like it was born there, leaving the expanse of the dashboard uncut. There's also an older AM/FM/Cassette radio, but we're guessing you won't use it simply because the engine's note through the dual exhaust is so much better.
A familiar 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 lives under the hood - following the old adage that if you want to make a Ford go fast you put a Chevy motor in it - and with all that added horsepower and torque on tap, it's a lot of fun to drive. The small block motor is dressed up with brightly finned valve covers and a big chrome air cleaner, and you'll note that extreme attention was paid to the underhood areas, so the inner fenders and firewall are beautifully finished. A 4-barrel carburetor on a polished intake manifold makes plenty of power and a serpentine belt drive system for the accessories makes service easy. The big radiator is cooled by a massive fan and as I mentioned, the long-tube headers feed a custom exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers that exits just under the rear bumper. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and Ford 8-inch rear end are reliable pieces of the puzzle and handling is greatly improved with the Mustang II front suspension with power rack-and-pinion steering and tubular upper and lower control arms up front, and newer shocks all around. Power steering and power disc brakes improve the ride experience and the truck sits exactly right on those shiny Billet Specialties wheels and fat 235/60/16 front and 255/60/17 rear radials.
Beautifully built, expertly finished, and nicely sorted, this is a truck that will attract a lot of attention and still put a big smile on the driver's face. Call today!
