DESCRIPTION

1955 Ford F100 Pickup

For consignment, this fabulously restored and lightly rodded rare catch 1955 example of the Ford F100 pickup bathed in red. Some fresh drivetrain parts including a 302ci Ford mill, all steel, no rust, maple bedded, upgraded brakes and other mechanicals and paint as deep as the diving well at the county pool, (do they do that anymore?). Lawyers, guns, and money have put the kibosh on this \"dangerous to snowflakes activities\". Call your lawyer so I can have my freedom of speech taken away!

Exterior
A close inspection of this truck, one notes a few flaws in the passenger\'s front fender and door, but nothing to detract from the overall beauty. As noted, red paint bathes super straight steel panels which are very much minding their gaps. We are still in the exterior bulbous fender age connected by the running board era, although as with the rear fender, they are starting to melt into the actual body. A small body matching running board, with a nifty shiny cloisonne\' badged foot plate, will guide you into the snazzy interior. The remaining badging is all there and very nice. The front grille, courtesy of a 1956 F100 is completely chromed and looks like it was just driven off of the showroom floor. So does the simple bumper framing the bottom of the grille. On the large curved downward front hood, complete with front mounted hinges for easy wrenching access to the mill and its trimmings and bolt ons. All blacked out window surrounds are beautiful as are the chrome exterior mirrors, and handles. Clean and clear glass frames the cabin and through this glass we can see the freshly minted oak bed and chrome mounted ribbed bed which has had nothing in it but stocking covered feet, and has pristine sides to this bed. Our consignor notes that this bed is a courtesy of Dennis Carpenter, as is the custom tailgate with an airbrushed Ford logo in the center and below on the roll pan is a shiny chromed simple bumper with dual exhaust tips peeking out of the bottom. Deep dish American Racing wheels are wrapped in staggered width Cooper raised white letter rubber on all 4 corners.

Interior
Flip open either of the 2 doors and black vinyl door panels with a stitched red insert greet us. These are framed by red painted steel upper and lower sills and have been dressed with shiny cranks and actuators. The original design of the single curved metal dash instrument cluster houses a semicircular speedo and we note the addition of a few aftermarket gauges to help keep an eye on engine vitals. A Pilot 3 spoke thick rimmed steering wheel sits atop a Flaming River adjustable column and fronts this shiny and pristine original dash. Clean black carpeting is on the floors and floating above is the full bench with a full custom upholstery job. Smooth black vinyl frames charcoal black broadcloth inserts with some red Ford logoing and flames stitched in for good measure. Snappy red piping sets the seats off perfectly and I\'m chafing in my shorts to get a chance to sit in this seat for my test drive. Just behind is a large rear glass which bathes the interior with light and enables the driver unlimited rear vision. A Lokar shifter lever reaches for the driver from the black vinyl and red piped console and has a silver knob topper. Just above is a modern Sony AM/FM/CD stereo for your listening pleasure.

Drivetrain
Flipping the clamshell hood forward we see a Ford 302ci V8 engine that our consignor states is from a mid 1990\'s SVT Ford product. It has a mild performance based roller cam installed as well as roller rockers. It has a polished open air cleaner cover, polished Ford Racing valve covers and a nicely showing polished intake topped by a polished 4-barrel carburetor. Ford electronic ignition is now on to help keep the fire lit. On the back is an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission and way back is a Ford 9 inch rear. All is cool with the new heavy duty Dodge radiator and new water pump. Nice steel headers sea snake downward to the belly of this beast and melt into a Flowmaster muffler dual exhaust.

Undercarriage
A Ford F-100 frame is under this beautiful showroom stamped steel floor-boarded structure and shows not even a hint of rust. Leaf springs, with new mono-leaf springs in the front, provide the ride and for the stopping, power disc brakes are in front and power drums are in back. Clean as a whistle.

Drive-Ability
My partner in crime and I could not wait to dive into this beauty, and it did not disappoint. Stylin would best describe the feeling when inside. She fired right up and it was off to the test track. Here she showed us her stuff with snappy acceleration, good handling, and awesome stopping power. Inside, a fairly quiet ride thanks to added sound deadener, but outside a great exhaust sound resonates through the valley of our test track. As we slipped off the track and headed back to the mall, a
