Vehicle Description
This 1963 Ford F-100 has been professionally fitted with new
kingpins, rear leaf spring bushings, valve cover gaskets and a new
oil pan gasket, as well as new rear axle oil and a rear axle
housing gasket. The wheels were also repainted and fitted with new
tires and coil helper springs added to the rear axle. This F-100
comes with original owner's manual, service manual, period dealer
materials and a handwritten maintenance log kept by the previous
owner. The deluxe trim extends the full length of the truck
complementing the original Rangoon Red paint. The finish shows some
chips, scratches and other minor defects as expected of a survivor
vehicle. A period-correct GEM aluminum shell is included, and
features camper-style "jealousy" side windows. All of the lights on
the shell are in working order. Per the original owner, the shell
has been with the truck since it was new. The interior of the
pickup bed is finished in matte gray paint, and a bed-mounted spare
is included. Inside the cab, the bench seat has been reupholstered
in black and white vinyl and a single-DIN stereo was installed in
the dash using a pre-existing opening. The shift knob shows a small
crack. The 292ci V8 engine is backed by a 4-speed manual
transmission and was rebuilt around 1996-97. The engine has been
modified with a 4v Edelbrock carburetor on a 292 4v intake manifold
from a 1957 Thunderbird. The stock air cleaner is still in place,
while the valve cover, oil pan gaskets, transmission side cover
gasket, transmission rear seal, transmission oil and side cover
gaskets have been replaced. The truck is equipped with solid
lifters, and the previous owner performed a valve adjustment,
changed the oil in the rear end, as well as the rear-end housing
gasket. The brakes have been replaced within the last two years,
including the drums.
