1953 Ford F-100 Pickup
1953This is the year my truck was made and sold for the first of three times. It came stock with a flathad V8 and a three on the tree and no power anything
1979My father bought this truck from the original owner who used it as a hay truck and all around farm truck. He restored it and painted it from gold to dark red, and dropped in a 1970 Ford 302 windsor block
1982 I was born and the truck was saved for me as my first truck
1997I began to restore the truck to my likeing and gave it a fresh coat of paint, new upolstery, new oak bed, face lift of the motor, and mostly a front and rear Jaguar suspension from a 1976 XJ6.
2003I once again decided to highly modify the truck and tore it down to the frame. From here i rebuilt the top end and up graded the cam to a mild RV. I then put on a aluminum edelbrock medium rise intake manifold and a Edelbrock/Carter AFB/Weber 650 Carb. I then went on to the body of the truck and smoothed all the holes that accumulated on the firewall (63). Then i smoothed all body seems in the truck by welding, grinding and bondoing them smooth. Along with doing small frenching that will make the keen eye do a double take. The interior is a Bench seat from a early Caddy, and the carpet and headliner is all custom work by AV Upolserty. I ended up painting the jams, dash and firewall as of now. i choose a color close to the 2002 mustang deep red. its a candy apple red with a copper and silver pearl.
