Customized 1954 ford f100

1954 Ford F-100 Description

Up for sale is my 1954 Ford f100 that has been a part of my life for just over 20 years. My dad and I started with just a shell and spent many a day removing decades of paint and farm life. It lived in the southwest until I brought it to Missouri to begin its restoration. My goal was to have a truck that was nice enough to win at shows, but comfortable and practical enough to drive any time I wanted.The truck waspainted about 8 years ago, but only has around 500 miles on it since being assembled. There are a few nicks in the paint, mainly from working around it in the shop, but otherwise the truck is practically brand new. She drives great down the road, sounds great and turns heads everywhere I go. This has been a very long termproject for me as I have balanced this with the rest of my life.The only reason I am selling is I now have too many kids for all of us to fit and I would like to buy a hot rod that the whole family can enjoy. The truck is located about an hour south of St. Louis. Please feel free to message me with any questions and I would be happy to answer or even give my cell number. I can send additional photos or setup an inspection as well.

Items I would still do to make it perfect (In my mind anyway):

- Front sway bar (My other hobbies were racing, so I like to take a bit of speed in the corners). She is just fine as is for general cruising.

- Different hood hinge setup (If you know anything about these f100's, you know how much of a pain the factory hood hinges are. These are new hinges, but the factory design was never the greatest. I would go with one of the many aftermarket setups, or just suck it up and enjoy it for what it is...)

Have some fun this summer cruising around in this awesome truck!

5/8/18 UPDATE: Before the auction went on too long, I wanted to make sure I uploaded as many pictures as I could. I also noticed that there is one additional item I would add to the "To do" list. Originally, this truck was sold in the southwestand spent all of its time there until I bought it. It was setup as a farm truck by the dealer with heavy duty rear bumper, huge side mirrors and dual gas tanks. I had planned on keeping the dual tanks, but never got around to installing the second one. The main tank is a polymer unit that is under the cab in the original location. The second tank was originally in the cab behind the bench seat and the fill tube was on the driver side above the standard fill tube. You can still see the hole for the second fill tube in one of the pictures. If I were keeping it, I would still install the second tank and fill it with race gas when I was feeling a bit froggy. The existing fuel pump is an electricHolley inline unit so installation of the second tank would be fairly straightforward. Again, please feel free to message me with any questions and I will gladly answer and send my cell number.
