Vehicle Description
This one family owned truck was special ordered in 1953 and always
stored inside when not being used. One of the last truck ever built
in the Kansas City plant in 1953 and only 15,578 original miles,
this F-350 was used as a wheat truck in Eastern Colorado. Believed
to be 1 of 3, 1953 50th anniversary wheat trucks ever built, this
50th Anniversary Battleship Grey Ford F-350 wheat truck is a true
survivor. 1953 was the first year optional interior amenities were
new, including a dome light, lighter, arm rests, sun visors and a
radio. Powered by a 215 CID straight 6, backed by a 4 speed
Synchro-Silent trans, Ford MagicAire heater, 50th anniversary
steering wheel, 9' hydraulic dump bed, 18" black sideboards to use
as a wheat truck, wheat tail gate, five new rims built by Les
Schwab to replace the old dangerous split rims, new tires and new
paint 2 years ago. A very gorgeous survivor, that is a one of a
kind truck. When you hop inside you'll remember what it is like to
be back in the good ol' days. That same year 1953, Ian Fleming
publishes his first James Bond novel, Casino Royale in the United
Kingdom, and the New York Yankees win fifth world series in a row.
