Vehicle Description
With a Viper Red paint job that's as fiery as its small block 302
V8 heart, this 1955 Ford F-100 is a truck that means business. The
Matrix paint, accentuated with a pearl that catches the light just
right, is a testament to the craftsmanship that went into this
build. The chrome mirrors on both sides and Kendigit handles add a
touch of class, while the step side bed with its well-maintained
wood floor is a nod to the truck's utilitarian roots. Rolling on
15" Rocket wheels wrapped in BFG Radial T/A tires (245/60R15 up
front and 275/60R15 in the rear), this F-100 has a stance that's
both aggressive and purposeful.
Inside, the custom interior is a study in simplicity and
functionality. The vinyl bench seat, complete with seatbelts, and
the matching door and kick panels create a cohesive look that's
both stylish and durable. The tilt column with its Lecarra
leather-wrapped wheel and the power window switches conveniently
located in the center of the bench add modern comfort to this
classic ride. The painted dash and doors, along with the polished
aluminum dash surround and Auto Meter gauges, create a
driver-focused environment that's as attractive as it is
functional. And with Vintage Air conditioning and a Lokar shifter
for the AOD 4-speed automatic transmission, this truck is ready for
comfortable cruising in any weather.
But it's what's under that forward-opening hood that really sets
this F-100 apart. The small block 302 V8, removed, re-sealed, and
painted in 2018, is equipped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and
four-barrel carburetor, Ford Racing tall valve covers and air
cleaner, and a big radiator with a stock fan setup and overflow
tank. With power steering and air conditioning, as well as twisted
shorty headers feeding into a dual exhaust system, this engine is
as ready for show as it is for go. And with a rebuilt AOD
transmission (receipts in the file show over $5k in work done)
sending power to the Ford 9" rear end with 3.23 gears, this truck
has the gears to match its gumption.
