This 1953 Ford pick-up is being sold in the condition in which I bought it. Wanted it as a project and never had time to work on it, though it was off to a good start when I got it. Chasis, suspension, wheels and brakes are all in good shape. The 305 V8 Chevy engine runs good. This is definitly a drivable vehicle and I have used it to get to work on a regular basis. The three speed automatic transmission needs some work. It makes a ticking sound in first gear, and it shifts a little hard. Fluid has leaked from the bellhousing at times.Body work and paint job had been done by the previous owner, but over the last three years some chips and cracks have developed and there are a couple rust bubbles begining. Both driver and passenger side windows work, but the passenger side vent mirror is broken. The right side bed side panel has a small hole. (paint chips, rust, and damage seen in pics)Bed boards have been replaced and are in good condition, but unfinished. There is no tail gate.The interior has been repainted red. Original bench seat has been recovered in red vinyl. The cardboard door panels and kick panels are warped from moisture, but the paint underneath is good. New Dolphin gauges are set in wood and all work, but speedometer needs to be recalibrated. Most interior accesories are missing, (i.e. rearview, visors, knobs) Heater and windshield wipers are not functional. Head lights and LED tail lights work, but after a recent storm, the turning blinkers shorted out. There are some wireing issues beween the ignition switch and the starter motor and some times I have to give it a quick jump to get it started.I like this truck a lot and love driving it around town, but like I said, I never had time to work on it. It would make a great project and, with a little work, would make a good "rat rod" style truck or even a daily driver.additional pictures available upon request. Please feel free to email me any questions you might have.
