Vehicle Description
This frame-off restored 1954 Ford F100 Stepside pickup offers a
great-looking Sea Sprite Green paint job, classic black interior,
and a reliable all-Ford driveline that's as good as new. For about
the same price as a used pickup in today's market, you can have
this awesome cruiser with a finished oak bed and loads of character
and period-correct vintage style.
Ford hit it out of the park with the redesigned F100, giving it a
look that has been timeless with collectors and hot-rodders for
decades. With a slightly cab-forward look that gives it a bulldog
attitude and the appearance of great power and performance, it
works especially well with period-correct pastel colors like the
Sea Sprite Green on this pickup. The fat fenders are still
old-fashioned-looking, with rounded surfaces blending into the
hood, it's one of those rare designs where there's not a single
line or curve out of place. This beauty was just completely
finished in 2017, and it still looks fresh enough to show with
pride at the car shows, and you'll live climbing in and heading out
to the local cruise scene where folks will admire the glossy oak
bed, the Ford-script taillights, and the contrasting white grille
and headlight surround, which is both an original touch and a nod
to traditional rodding. Simple chrome bumpers, a glistening bright
shine on the paint, and the perfect stance make this a truck you
won't be able to resist taking for a spin.
Finished in black, the interior is also a nice blend of new and
old, covering the original bench with modern black vinyl upholstery
that's a lot more comfortable than the original covers. Door panels
are softened with more matching fabric, off-set with bright billet
handles for the door and window controls, and the headliner and
back of the cab is fully upholstered as well for a warm, enveloping
feeling inside the interior. The instrument panel is a freshened
stock item, neatly framed by the totally '50s 3-spoke Ford steering
wheel, and the shifter that manages the 3-speed manual transmission
joins it on the long column. There's no radio or A/C, because
that's not the point of this truck, but if you feel these creature
comforts are must-haves, aftermarket units from a variety of
reputable vendors bolt-in very easily.
The engine is a 292 cubic inch Ford Y-block V8 perhaps borrowed
from a Thunderbird and dressed with stock black Ford valve covers.
A 2-barrel carburetor, open-element air cleaner, and stock
manifolds work together to deliver horsepower, and the simple
engine bay remains easy to service, with a beautiful presentation
highlighted by the orange block and painted inner fenders and
firewall. A 3-speed manual gearbox makes it entertaining to drive
and gives it an old-school feel, and thanks to a newer exhaust with
a chambered muffler, it sounds great. There's still a rigid axle at
both ends, hanging on leaf springs, and it was set perfectly after
the frame-off restoration for a fantastic stance that totally nails
the look that you want in your old truck. The chassis is completely
painted to match the top and detailed for show, and no rust or
signs of previous accident damage means that this truck has led a
good life under the tutelage of conscientious former owners.
Wide-white L78-15 bias-ply tires are the quintessential look for an
original truck like this, and they're wrapped around paint-matched
steelies adorned with chrome "Baby Moon" Ford hubcaps and beauty
rings to finish the vintage look.
Just a beautifully restored Ford pickup that's ready to be showed
and enjoyed today. Traditional, sure, but still able to work, have
fun, and turn heads in equal measure. Call today!
