Ford F100 1957 Pick-up Short Bed Truck , registered in the UK 9 years ago, it was imported by a mate from California. I have owned it 2 years and I`ve just been taken it to hot rod meets mainly and it`s been kept garaged. Truck was in California its whole life, hence the amazing condition of the bodywork, got some flaking but mainly cosmetic. I like the rat rod look so kept it as is.<br />
<br />
350 V8 Small block Chevy 5.7 litre, (Sounds Amazing and fast off the block in traffic) only got about 15000 miles on the engine, installed by the mental breakdown dragster team and they did an awesome job as it runs great and it starts perfectly on the key.<br />
It s a head turner for sure.<br />
Been to Switzerland and back from London without any issues. <br />
<br />
Automatic 3 speed gearbox, fuel pump changed recently. Paint inside and out Red and bone White. Really nice condition on the inside (pics say more than words)<br />
Got power steering so glide around the corners easy.<br />
Fantastic breaks and the heavy beast stops like a new car. New started motor installed last year so start without any problems all winter long. Got a late 80s muscle car suspension so it`s really comfy for a 60 year old truck and the front is slightly dropped to give a mean stance. The wide wheels suit the truck to a T.<br />
All electrics works perfect, including the rare orange head spot lights. <br />
<br />
Got a Stereo and speakers installed, will not blow your ears off but it does the job. I personally rather listed to the engine as it s a better soundtrack.<br />
<br />
All solid chassis and body, California built in 1957, lived in California all its life, got a lovely patina and very thick steel throughout.<br />
<br />
Receipts all sorted in a folder, tax and MOT free,I ve got to get some money to rebuild my property, otherwise I"d be keeping it for sure.<br />
<br />
