As Seen In Street Trucks Magazine
July 2016 Issue
Up for sale is my 1953 Ford F100. I have owned this truck for about 2 years. I purchased this truck from an individual who started the build, but never finished. The typical story. He purchased much of the product, but that was as far as it got. I finished it up here in Arizona and have taken it to a few shows in Nevada, California and here in AZ.

Although this is a full restoration and the truck is in great condition, I can only state the facts and express opinions of how I see the truck. I understand that the way I see it and the way you see it can be different. I always suggest that you have the truck inspected before making any bids or consider buying it so that you know what you are getting. All the work was done professionally; this is not a thrown together truck.
KnownIssues:
Currently there aren’t any floor mats.I would have some made or maybe we can make a deal on those at my cost.
The original owner had painted the truck purple.I had it completely repainted with the cab off the frame.There are 1-2 areas that I have noticed a hint of the purple that I will have touched up before shipping. I have all the build pictures for your preview if needed.
