Vehicle Description
This 1955 Ford F-100 half-ton pickup received a complete body-off
restoration in 2006. Powered by a rebuilt 239ci V8 engine mated to
a 3-speed manual transmission, this Ford is equipped with new
Howell fuel injection, a 12-volt electrical system and a custom
interior. The frame was stripped and powder-coated, and the brakes,
suspension, fuel tank, wiring, and every nut and bolt were
replaced. This pickup was repainted in the original Snowshoe White
over Aquatone Blue colors and an clear coat was added. When
restoring the truck to stock condition, a new, original interior
was ordered, but it was just too plain for such a beautiful truck.
A custom interior was created that incorporates the "V" from the
grille into the bench seat with exterior matching materials. This
pickup is upgraded with wide whitewall tires, beauty rings,
stainless-steel bumpers, turn signals and a stereo. The original
239ci V8 engine, 3-speed manual transmission and 3.92 ratio rear
axle were all rebuilt. Towards the end of the restoration process,
in the summer of 2006, an Early Ford V8 Club of America Show was
announced, where this truck took Second Place in the Truck Division
and the People's Choice Award. Included in the sale are the
original carburetor, repair manuals, a car cover and the People's
Choice Award.
