The second-generation Ford F-Series truck was arguably more aesthetically pleasing than the first, with a more modern cab, lower beltline and high-quality construction with a more integrated look. A very successful four-year production run, including this 1955 model, continued Ford Motor Company’s dominance in the truck market.
An extensive binder of books and records summarizing parts and details of the restoration and modification of this fully customized pickup is included for the new owner. The Black Cherry DuPont exterior paint is presented flawlessly. In excellent condition in and out, it has a magazine-ready look and is sure to be a top contender at any car shows it attends. Offered at just a fraction of the total expense, the truck will save the new owner months, if not years, of painstaking build costs and time.
Taking a vintage pickup to this level of restoration and customization is, in a word, remarkable. The list of components fills the binder. For power, the 350ci engine is strong and steady, and is backed up by an automatic transmission. The front and rear suspension system is from No Limit Engineering (with 4-link in the rear) riding on RideTech airbags – so in the parked position “slamming it on the ground” makes for a beautiful visual. The truck safely and effortlessly comes to a stop with the help of Wilwood brakes.
Customization and visual cues of the 1955 Ford F-100 are noticed immediately, from 20” Billet Specialties wheels, through the cab (chopped 3” with a front flip hood) to the chopped front bumper and “suicide doors.” A custom interior and dash let you ride in comfort and sportiness, and Vintage Air keeps you cool a warm day. Ultimately, this pickup is a turn-key, ready-to-cruise custom with a fit and finish to always keep you smiling.
