FOR SALE: 1955 FORD F350 FLAT BED TRUCK THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR OVER 56 YEARS. MY GRANDFATHER BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW FROM THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN 1955 FOR HIS EVERGREEN NURSERY BUSINESS. IT WAS IN DAILY SERVICE FOR 20 YEARS. (THIS IS THE ACTUAL TRUCK I LEARNED HOW TO SHIFT GEARS IN AT AGE 15!!) WHEN MY FATHER BOUGHT THE BUSINESS IN 1975, HE USED IT FOR 3 MORE YEARS THEN REPLACED IT WITH A LATER MODEL TRUCK. HE THEN PARKED THE ‘55 IN THE GARAGE, ONLY TO DRIVE IT IN LOCAL PARADES. I PURCHASED THE ’55 FROM DAD IN 2002 AND STARTED TO RESTORE IT. THE TRUCK HAS THE ORIGIONAL 223 STRAIGHT 6 CYLINDER WITH 125,000 ACTUAL MILES.

YOU COULD CONVERT THIS TRUCK TO A F100 IF YOU WANTED TO!!!!!On Sep-14-11 at 11:28:08 PDT, seller added the following information:I have had several requests for photos of the seat and stake racks...... The seat is from the rear of a 1990 F350 Crew Cab and very simular to the stock seat. and the back tilts forward. ........When I pulled the stake racks out of storage, several of the boards were not acceptable to sell. So I replaced EVERY board with new kiln dried southern yellow poplar. I used New bolts, washers and nuts to attach the boards to the stakes and used the origional stake hardware elsewhere. I wasn't planning to rebuild the stake sides, but there you go!!!
