Details

Fully restored, this F-100 hasn't been significantly modified or hot-rodded. The restoration was intended to match its original specifications with some improvements for drivability and enjoyment. The underside and cab interior have been Rhino-lined for durability. The complete restoration included the following new components: brakes, springs, bearings, radiator, tires, exhaust, muffler, chrome bumpers, mirrors, weatherstripping, glass, gauges, fuel tank, wiring, interior, oak bed, lights and heater. All brake, fuel and vacuum lines are also new. It's powered by a rebuilt 1956 Ford 292ci V8 Y-block engine with 2-barrel manual choke carburetor. It runs very strong and looks great with fresh black paint and powder-coated intake, exhaust manifold and exhaust system. It's equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission with a column shifter that shifts smooth through all its gears. It's been driven lightly since the rebuild. Stunningly finished in Ford Torch Red with black/gray interior, the beautiful oak-wood bed was clear-coated for a beautiful finish. Power steering and front and rear sway bars significantly enhance ease of drivability without detracting from its originality. It was also upgraded to a more reliable 12-volt electrical system. The turn signals and hazards were wired into the existing parking lights. It features a radio/CD player hidden in the glove compartment.
