Up for sale is a 1953 Ford F100 Pickup truck. I bought this a few months ago with the intentions of restoring it, but I've decided I want my money to go somewhere else. This is my third Effie, and it's by far in the best shape of any I've owned. The truck has very minimal surface rust in a few spots, but the original Ford blue (teal) color still prevails on much of the body. The two rust areas of note are on the leading edge of the hood, and the driver's outer cab corner. Both of these areas are very easily fixed with some sheet metal patch panels from MidFifty. The truck is very straight, and very solid. The floor boards are incredibly solid, as well as the other typical rust areas associated with these trucks. Replace the two aforementioned areas and this thing's ready for blocking/sanding. The '53 still has all the original drivetrain in it, including a 239 Flathead V8 and manual floor-shifted transmission. The original blue interior is still in the truck, but there is no wood for the bed. A little history on the truck: I recently picked the truck up from a gentleman in Southern Arkansas who bought the truck with restoration intentions, but he sold the truck due to financial issues. He bought the truck from the original owner who drove the truck from California roughly 20 years ago, parked the truck under a shed and let it sit. With a hot battery, possibly a starter, new fluids and some hoses, this truck would be easy to get up and running, I simply do not have the motivation or the time to work on it. I have plenty of documentation to go with the truck, including the title and various previous registrations. I cannot definitively verify if the mileage is correct, but I would bet the truck does actually have the 77k miles that are listed on the odometer. This truck would make a great project for someone with the time and a bit of money. If you're interested in looking at the truck for yourself, email me directly at ejanderson (at) ualr (dot) edu, or call/text me at (501) 743-Five-Zero-Three-Three. Thanks for looking, don't hesitate to contact me!On Oct-02-11 at 17:36:36 PDT, seller added the following information: Up for sale is a 1953 Ford F100 Pickup truck.
