If your like me the term barn find is way overused. This truck wasn't a barn find, but a warehouse find in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. A friend of mine purchased it 4 years ago. The truck had been siting inside the warehouse since the early 70's. To the best of my knowledge and after close review I don't think that the truck has ever been apart and shows NO signs of any accidents. It has been subject to what appears to be one (1) repaint along time ago. My friend proceeded to rebuild the Flathead engine, install a new clutch (which needs adjustment), do a complete brake job which included new wheel cylinders, king pins, flex and steel brake lines, new 8V battery and then lost interest due to the purchase of a Model A. I bought it from him last spring with the thoughts of a frame up restoration. My plans have changed as I've found an early Bronco instead to build.
The truck has two minor rust issues, the passenger side rear cab corner (pictured) which will be an easy fix and the driver's side running board (pictured). The rest of the original sheet metal is nice, really nice. Don't get me wrong the truck has its minor bruises, but nothing major. Look at the original bed, its not beat up like most of these are. There is a dent the size of your fist on top of the tailgate, but the rest of the sheet metal is nice. Its obvious from the condition of the body and frame that this was a city truck and wasn't subject to dirt roads of Arkansas or dirt rot. Arkansas doesn't use salt on our roads so the truck isn't rusty like a northern truck.
The VIN and Data Plate decode as follows:
F10=F100, R= 239 CI Flat Head Ford V/8, 3 =1953 model year, K= Kansas City production plant
Rear Axle is a 3:92 ratio, Trans =3 speed regular manual transmission
Color = B which is a beautiful Sheridan Blue
If your looking for patina/rat rod then throw a Mexican blanket over the seat, clear the paint, put on a new set of tires (the current tires are dry rotted beyond useability) on it and drive and enjoy her, or this truck is the candidate for an easy restoration.
This truck is sold as-is where-is with no warranties either express or implied. Please ask me your questions before you bid. I will do my best to honestly answer all questions. Winning bidder will be required to pay a non refundable $500.00 deposit within 24 hours after the close of the auction. The balance is due by check, bank wire or cash within 72 hours following the close of the auction. Title or possession of the truck will not pass to the winning bidder until your funds have cleared my bank. I know nothing about international shipping. If your an international buyer you must have all of your shipping prearranged.

Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
