You are looking at a 1963 Ford F100, this is a great truck and for the money you wont find another this nice. Here is the ins and outs of the truck. The body has been 95% amateur restored. The engine and drivetrain has been 100% professionally restored. It runs and drives like an all original 50 year old vehicle. Its fun to drive around and get a bunch of looks and comments. Take it to a car show and people will gather. If they don't then just inform everyone of the old school flame thrower and you will be the center of the show. Basically this truck is sweet, but please note its not a fully restored 15-20,000 dollar truck, drive and enjoy this one.
Body - all rust has been cut out and replaced with metal, bottoms of rear fenders are fiberglass cause metal would be really hard to make look good. The entire truck is rust free. It is also very straight (not perfect).
Paint - brand new paint, 2 coats high build primer, sanded, 3 coats base coat/top coat hot rod flatz baby blue urethane paint.
Bed - Brand new stained & sealed wood. Not traditional look, see pics.
Engine - original 223 I-6, completely overhauled, new pistons .030 over, bearings, cam renewed, new valves, new carb. Runs perfect has about 200 miles on it.
Trans - Original 4 on the floor, nothing was wrong with it so cleaned and replaced fluid, this is actually a hard to find option. Most (not all) will be three on a tree.
Rear end - original ford 9", replaced wheel bearings and seals, the rest was ok.
Brakes - rebuilt all four wheel cylinders, cleaned and adjusted shoes, machined drums, work great for 4 wheel drum, they will pull left or right if you have to stop real hard, but normal stopping is fine. pretty normal for 4 wheel drum
Suspension - leaf springs have had springs removed prior to me and are very weak. installed coil over helper springs/shocks. manual steering is tight, some play but not bad. The ride is very good for a 50 year old truck.
Interior - all original paint, no holes cut in dash, original steering column, seat has original style black vinyl cover in great shape, and then the new seat cover for style. Carpet is new, fully insulated underneath and behind seat. Custom gauge cluster.
Overall the truck is Bad Axx. Old School look will be loved by everyone. If your interested call me and come see it you wont be disappointed.

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
Auto industry insider previews tell-all book, What Did Jesus Drive?
Tue, 11 Nov 2014
"It's about some of the biggest crises in history. It's about who did it right and who did it wrong." - Jason Vines
Jason Vines, the former head of public relations at Chrysler, Ford and Nissan, has seen a lot during his more than 30-year career, and now he's offering a behind-the-scenes look at the auto industry in his tell-all book What Did Jesus Drive? that went on sale this month.
Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
