1954 F100 Pickup restored - stunning looking truck For Sale

The 54 Ford F100 is a rare truck in the UK and a restored example is even rarer.

My F100 has recently come out of a 2 year restoration programme with pretty much everything being refurbished or replaced. I have kept the F100 as standard as possible and upgrade cosmetic items. I purchased the truck from an Alabama cotton farmer who had had it since new and was taken off the road many, many years ago and parked behind his barn.
                        
Paint
The originally factory colour was red and I wanted to retain the F100 in red. Rather than paint her all the same colour I introduced a two tone red which gives her a very stand out look. To separate the reds is a custom coach line which starts at the front as silver and then goes to gold. The striping and door graphics were hand painted on buy an old school sigh writer.

Body
The body is very straight, given this was a working truck all its life it had obviously been looked after by the farmer and showed no sign of accident damage. As the truck had been painted a number of times during its life all the old paint was removed back to bare metal before new paint. Any small rusty of dented areas was replaced with new metal. A new Oak bed has also been installed.

Frame.
The underside frame is rock solid and has been weather proofed, these old trucks were built out of girders and massively strong.

Engine bay and power train
The engine bay is rust free and is pretty much original, the power train is it’s original standard straight six. The six runs well, not the fastest truck but plenty of toque, don’t forget this is 65 years old vehicle so very little went fast in 1954. The engine has a new Holly carb and I have reinstated the original oil bath air cleaner. She never over heats on me and runs fine but the carb may benefit from a tune up. The transmission is 3 speed column shift manual which works perfect. The steering is not power so can be a little heavy when manuvering at low speed but again that is standard. The fuel tank has been fully refurbished and new sender unit and electronic fuel pump has been installed.

Wheels and brakes
The brakes are the standard drums and have been rebuilt all round with new hoses, wheel cylinders, internals and master cylinder. The wheels are old school deep dish chrome rims with gold centres to pick out the gold coach line and look fantastic and in my opinion suit the truck. I have widened the trucks track so the edge of the wheels align with the edge of the fenders giving a more modern look and better stance. All tyres are 225’s and brand new. The truck is riding on its standard springs with no lowering, which in my opinion does not suit these early trucks.
