Vehicle Description
This 1954 Ford F100 pickup offers a great-looking paint job,
beautiful interior, and a reliable Chevy 350 powerplant. For about
the same price as a two-year-old F150, you can have this awesome
cruiser with an oak bed and loads of character.
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
seems to work especially well with modern colors like the screaming
yellow finish 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. And although this one was finished a
number of years ago, it still looks good enough to show with pride
at the local shows, and you'll live climbing in and heading out to
the local cruise scene where folks will admire the oak bed, the
Ford-script taillights, and the way-cool forward-tilting hood that
knocks 'em dead every time. Simple chrome bumpers, a 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 handsome tan leather, the interior is also a nice blend
of new and old, covering the original bench with distressed-looking
leather that's a lot more comfortable than the original vinyl. Door
panels are softened with more matching materials and there are
plush tan carpets on the floor. The instrument panel is a billet
piece that fits in the stock location and which is filled with Moon
Eyes gauges, all neatly framed by the three-spoke billet steering
wheel. Vintage Air A/C offers a comfortable cab on the warmest days
and a tilt steering column makes it easy to settle in behind the
wheel for a long cruise. An AM/FM/CD stereo head unit tucks into
the center of the dash and powers speakers stashed throughout the
cab for great sound. Even though the build is a few years old, it's
all still in great shape.
The engine is a 350 cubic inch Chevy crate motor that's built to
cruise. The most notable addition is Edelbrock E-Street fuel
injection, a setup that looks like a carburetor but gives this
small block impeccable manners. It's sitting on an Edelbrock intake
manifold and an HEI ignition system lights it up, so the entire
system is quite reliable. Long-tube headers give it a horsepower
bump, and the simple engine bay remains easy to service and
handsome to look at with a few dress-up components. A TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission means anyone can drive this truck and it
powers what appears to be the original rear end. The front
suspension is a Mustang II setup with rack-and-pinion steering and
disc brakes, but it's been lowered slightly for a fantastic stance
that totally nails the look that you want in your old truck. The
chassis isn't detailed for show, but no rust or signs of previous
accident damage means that this truck has led a good life and the
dual exhaust system offers Flowmaster mufflers for that hot rod
sound. 18-inch aluminum wheels with staggered 245/45/18 front and
275/40/18 performance radials look right and fit well.
Just a neat Ford pickup, ready to enjoy. Traditional, sure, but
still able to work and have fun in equal measure. Call today!
