1957 Ford F-100

Up for auction is a Ford F100, it's perfect for a winter project. The front suspension has been converted to a 2004 Crown Victoria PI cradle, it's a common swap that gets you strut and coil, power steering, 11" brakes and lowers the truck about 5". The frame was leveled and reinforced with 1/4 steel and thick wall DOM round steel tube. The original mod motor mounts will be included. Looking at the front end in the pictures, it shows that it sits a bit higher than the rear, but there's no motor or trans, which will when added, will level it with the rear and look great. The rear has been flipped to a reverse eye spring which lowers it about 5", so the frame has been "C" notched to clear the original 9" rear end. New air shocks have been installed and the brakes are plumbed. The gas tank has been relocated to the rear, but the original fuel filler (not operational) was left in place, I liked the look. The bed is really the worst part, I've been looking for a flare side to change it to, but haven't had any luck. The cab is solid and I do have the original bench seat that is included (not pictured). There is rust on the lower corners of the doors, fenders and hood, but the inner fenders, firewall and cab are in good shape. The "Patina" is perfect for what I was going to do with it. This was supposed to be a quick project for me, but more than a few things got in the way, I started a '29 Dodge Brothers and don't want to keep the F100 around for the winter, I need the space. The reserve is set to what the parts have cost me so far, the labor and original price of the truck isn't even in there. The truck is located about 30 miles west of Chicago and is available if anyone wants to see it before bidding. Free delivery within 25 miles of Warrenville IL 60555. NO SHIPPING, but I will assist a transporter that you make the arrangements for.
