Full restored 50+ year old Ford F100. Beautiful condition throughout.<br />
<br />
This truck had a frame off restoration in 1994 and was then stored for 8+ years before it was imported. The truck has been further enhanced (by myself) after I brought the truck a couple of years ago. The chassis and all running gear has been Dinitrol coated (has a warranty). All wiring replaced, new carb and electronic ignition. I have also had the interior recovered (seat, door cards and roof boards) in alcantara and vinyl. New gauge cluster, stereo and steering wheel. <br />
<br />
Engine Bay: 352 big block (5.8cc) the engine has been tuned on a rolling road. The ignition system has been upgraded with an electronic ignition, new plugs, plug leads and coil. MSD ignition system parts used.<br />
<br />
I have completed a number of upgrades to ensure the truck is reliable, and always starts when required.<br />
<br />
New Holley carb 600cfm (electric choke) has been installed and ported to adhere to the engine requirements. No stubble at cruising speed (jets upgraded). A high flow air filter has been installed. <br />
<br />
New rocker covers, alternator, all new wiring to include an electronic fan and a Craig Davis thermostat controller. New brake booster, master cylinder and proportioning valve installed after the booster failed, all new plumbing in the engine bay.<br />
<br />
The duel exhausts roar when the engine is asked to perform, but wont annoy the neighbours.<br />
<br />
Chassis: No rust anywhere; the chassis has been treated with Dinitrol, which has a 5 year warranty against corrosion. Dinitrol is like Waxoyl, but has a nice black coating, which self heals and unlike Waxoyl has no waxy feel. I have tried to capture how nice the truck is underneath, little difficult with a camera (must be seen).<br />
<br />
Body: The body has a handful of very small pinhead stone chips. There is a slight amount of chipping in the drip rail, no missing paint though. The bed is covered in truck lining (waterproof, bullet proof etc), which includes the inside of the tailgate. The bed has a cover to keep the rain out, which has a 10-year manufacturers warranty.<br />
<br />
The bodywork is stunning for its age. The body has no dings, straight.<br />
<br />
Cab: Recently reupholstered seat, door card, roof card all in vinyl and alcantara. The new dash has all digital gauges, which includes a digital speedo (no speedo cable). All gauges work and are accurate (including fuel gauge). All rewired and a nice fuse box added for safety. All button, knobs work, new stereo that includes Bluetooth, hands free and USB connections.<br />
<br />
Running Gear: Drum brakes boosted, brakes very easily. 3 on the tree gear box (easy to use), no power steering, but the truck does have air-conditioning. All wheels and tyres are in perfect condition.<br />
