1953 Ford F-100

351M/400

Clear

Selling my brothers 53 f-100 truck has been in the family for almost 30 years! I bought the truck from him with the intentions of fixing it up, but I have other projects that come first and I hate seeing it just sit there. Hopefully someone can get her back on the road and enjoy her! I'm selling this truck as a PROJECT. It DOES runs,but is currently not street worthy until the brakes are fixed. My brother also started to rewire the truck with a painless wiring harness,But it still needs to be cleaned up and dash needs to be finished being wired!!, Headlights,turn signals,brake lights are wired and work. Motor is a 351m that was rebuilt some time in 1994, In 2000 my brother added edelbrock intake,edelbrock carb,mallory ignition,aluminum pulleys and a engine dress up kit. Not sure actual miles on engine,(maybe 55k) It runs strong and sounds healthy (no weird noises) also had power steering added. Transmission is a C6 and a ford 9" rear end with 4:11 gearing Body is all steel and was completely stripped to bare metal in 1993 (check pics) the custom tilt front end is ALL steel and has a ton of man hours to make it,Truck was painted trans-am red and its the only paint on there (no surprises) a repaint is going to be needed or keep the 20 year old hotrod patina look! Body is in really good condition with a few small dents and dings. There is a few rust spots on the truck but nothing major. the worst spot is passenger side rear wheel well where it attaches to the running board,(pics) the other is some superficial spots on the top cab around the windshield (check pics) the tailgate is bent in a few areas and could either be fixed or replaced. Cab is solid i cant see any rust in the known problem areas in the corner or floor boards. Interior is in decent shape with a bench seat,custom door panels and kick panels. Does not have a headliner. driver side glass has a crack in the top and will need to be replaced ($30 bucks) doors don't shut all the time so i purchased some new strikers to fix the problem, just haven't had time to install them. Has a tilt column out of a 90s chevy with a wood grain steering wheel. Chassis still retains its original components, It drives straight down the road, but it is a little stiff. Theirs a bunch of different set-ups for the front end these days that are really inexpensive for this kind of truck. If you have any questions or want to come check out the truck please feel free to call me @ 818-269-8219 john, Truck is originally from socal and lived 19 years in Nevada and is now back in California. My brother is the second owner and owned it for almost 30 years!!! depoist of $500.00 is do thru paypal within 24hrs of .auction ending. Truck will need to be trailered and is not street worthy yet...Needs breaks! I will help with loading, but buyer is responsible for all shipping cost! thanks Happy bidding!!!On May-04-13 at 19:24:55 PDT, seller added the following information: Note: I have been getting alot of calls and emails asking my reserve price, I will not disclose that information since it really wouldn't be fair to the other ebayer, So with that said, I will say I lowered my reserve price and will say its less than $10k. Thanks again.
