We will start off with the exterior of this F100. As you can
clearly see this truck was stored out of the weather and has always
been extremely well cared for. The previous owner put a little over
20K miles on it after he got it from his father who had put the
first 40K miles on it. We can clearly see it was loved and
appreciated appropriately. Every panel is rock solid with no major
dents or signs of abuse. Down the sides are straight and all the
gaps are even and symmetrical. Inside the bed it has a bedliner,
but underneath it is all solid and in excellent condition as well.
It's done in the factory two tone Desert Tan and Light Desert Tan
color scheme. The paint is in remarkable condition for its age with
only some light aging due to knicks and wear. It still has a
beautiful luster that will appreciated at any cruise-in or car
show. All the trim down the sides and on the tailgate is also
beautiful along with all the emblems. Across the front we can see
the grill is all excellent as well and that the front bumper is
equally impressive. Also, you can see that every piece of glass is
stunning and that all the seals and weather stripping is good. TO
finish off the exterior it's sitting on the factory 15" Wheels that
sport the white line Vercelli tires.
Next we will look at the interior of this '83. On the inside you
are sure to be impressed as it looks to be mostly original. It's
done the complimentary tan color scheme that has the wood grain
accents. First thing you notice when you open the doors is how
great the door panels are in this truck. They have an excellent fit
and show no signs of abuse. It has the standard crank windows that
go up and down with ease. We can also see the at it has the bench
seat option that's done in vinyl. The seat cover is just as
impressive, and all the padding and springs ride excellent as well.
Both the carpet and the headliner have a great fit and look amazing
as well. Looking at the dahs we can see that it also has the
woodgrain accent as well. The factory gauges are in amazing
condition along with the factory steering wheel. It has had new
gauges added under the dash to keep a better eye on the Temp, Amp,
and Oil Pressure. The dash is all in great condition with only a
couple of small cracks showing. We can also see that this 83 has
the original radio and it is working as well.
Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Ford. Under the hood
it's powered by the original 302 V8 engine that's set up with the
original Autolite 2150 2 Barrel Carb. It's dressed in the factory
style air cleaner, and valve covers. As you can see all the engine
bay is rock solid and looks as close to factory as you can ask for.
This F100 comes set up with Power Steering and Power Brakes with
Disc up front and drums out back. The 302 is mated to the AOD
Automatic Transmission that goes out back to the 8.8 Ford Rear End
with 3.55 Gears. For exhaust it has manifolds with single muffler
and dual rear exiting pipes. When you look under this truck it all
looks to be solid from the frame to the floor pans and bed. The
inner rockers are all rock solid as well. All the suspension looks
to be stock and is in great condition for its age. On the highway
you couldn't ask for a better running and driving truck. It handles
with ease and is a blast to cruise.
