Selling my brothers 53 f-100 truck has been in the family for almost 30 years! I bought the truck from him with the intentions of fixing it up, but I have other projects that come first and I hate seeing it just sit there. Hopefully someone can get her back on the road and enjoy her! I'm selling this truck as a PROJECT. It DOES runs,but is currently not street worthy until the brakes are fixed. My brother also started to rewire the truck with a painless wiring harness,But it still needs to be cleaned up and dash needs to be finished being wired!!, Headlights,turn signals,brake lights are wired and work. 





Motor is a 351m that was rebuilt some time in 1994, In 2000 my brother added edelbrock intake,edelbrock carb,mallory ignition,aluminum pulleys and a engine dress up kit. Not sure actual miles on engine,(maybe 55k)  It runs strong and sounds healthy (no weird noises) also had power steering added.


Transmission is a C6 and a ford 9" rear end with 4:11 gearing


Body is all steel and was completely stripped to bare metal in 1993 (check pics) the custom tilt front end is ALL steel and has a ton of man hours to make it,Truck was painted trans-am red and its the only paint on there (no surprises) a repaint is going to be needed or keep the 20 year old hotrod patina look!  Body is in really good condition with a few small dents and dings. There is a few rust spots on the truck but nothing major. the worst spot is passenger side rear wheel well where it attaches to the running board,(pics) the other is some superficial spots on the top cab around the windshield (check pics) the tailgate is bent in a few areas and could either be fixed or replaced. Cab is solid i cant see any rust in the known problem areas in the corner or floor boards.


Interior is in decent shape with a bench seat,custom door panels and kick panels. Does not have a headliner. driver side glass has a crack in the top and will need to be replaced ($30 bucks) doors don't shut all the time so i purchased some new strikers to fix the problem, just haven't had time to install them. Has a tilt column out of a 90s chevy with a wood grain steering wheel.


Chassis still retains its original components, It drives straight down the road, but it is a little stiff. Theirs a bunch of different set-ups for the front end these days that are really inexpensive for this kind of truck.


 If you have any questions or want to come check out the truck please feel free to call me @ 818-269-8219 john, Truck is originally from socal and lived 19 years in Nevada and is now back in California. My brother is the second owner and owned it for almost 30 years!!! depoist of $500.00 is do thru paypal within 24hrs of .auction ending. Truck will need to be trailered and is not street worthy yet...Needs breaks! I will help with loading, but buyer is responsible for all shipping cost! thanks Happy bidding!!!

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
