1953 Ford F-100 Short Bed on 2040-cars

Year:1953 Mileage:29000
Location:

Deer Park, Texas, United States

Deer Park, Texas, United States

Almost all the parts are there, even has the original spare tire mounted under the bed.

The rear end has been replaced with another Ford rear end, unknown year.

The Cab Floor is good, no rust holes that I can see.

The Bed Floor is Steel Grating, not Wood.

The frond end appears good all the parts are there and steers good.

The Brakes will need rebuilding.

It is not the original Tailgate it is a cover that is screwed shut and does not open.

The Hood opens and closes but needs work and adjusting.

The Running Boards are pitted but ok for a Rat Rod.

Doors open and close very good. They do need the rubber seal.

The Windows roll up and down. Side vent windows are Lexan one opens one does not.

The Windshield and Seal are New.

The fresh air vent opens and closes good.

I don't know if the Gas Tank leaks or not. Smells like it still has old Gas in it.

The Tires are New but aged and will need to be replaced, decent enough for transporting and moving around the shop.

It appears the Truck has never been taken apart. The under carriage has never been cleaned up. The Frame is solid.

I'm not sugar coating anything on this 60+ year old truck. Like I said it needs a total make over.

Selling as-is where-is no warranty expressed or implied.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
