1957 Ford F100 V8 .292 Y-block Stepside Long Bed Pick-up 90,412 Mi Hot Rat Rod on 2040-cars

 Here we have a very nice 1957 Ford F100 V8 Stepside Long Bed Pick-up Project in Very Good Condition.  Truck has spent it's life in Colorado dry climate and has very minimal rust.  Look at the front end, very straight and all the chrome trim is intact in excellent condition.  I recently purchased this truck to restore, but other projects are taking precedence so I am going to pass this one on.  The original .292 V8 motor is in the back of the truck as shown as well as the radiator.  It is missing the original 3-speed transmission and drive shaft.  The steering and brakes are working and the truck moves about well.  The previous owner started to restore the truck in 1991 and dropped the ball shortly after he pulled the motor.  He said the motor ran well then, but who knows now.  The project sat at his business till now and the engine was on a pallet inside the warehouse.  Over the years, the transmission and drive shaft got lost.  I have never seen a nicer original 1957 dash, it is in beautiful condition, nothing damaged and all there.  Under the hood, everything is still there and looks like it would be easy to hook up an engine.  All wiring looks good and the speedometer cable is there.  Cross member is in place, just needs the drive train, engine, transmission and drive shaft.  The truck has incredible patina, I started waxing the right front quarter panel and door, if the whole truck was polished, it could be clear coated, the patina is so cool.  Passenger door has been replaced as well as the right front fender, passenger door is missing the inside cover panel.  All the glass is intact and the windows and door locks and latches all work, I have 2 ignition keys and 1 door key. The front window has a hole, but not from a bullet, and the back glass and passenger window are cracked.  The bed has a few dents on the passenger side that can be straightened, and there is a donor bed on the ground behind the truck, it has a good tailgate and other parts if needed, hard to find these step side long beds, I will dismantle this bed down to 2 long sides, tailgate, font, and some bottom slat pieces, most all of it just un-bolts.  I will load the other bed in the back of the truck with the engine for transport.  The only real rust problem is the inside cab corners on the floor board as shown and the running board steps.  Should be easy to fix and make solid, this was a flaw in the construction of these, the brackets under there held mud and moisture and caused rust.  Other than that and a few dents, should be easy to fix up, truck is really very straight, especially the front end, it looks great.  I have a clear Colorado title and the truck can be seen and/or picked up in Longmont, Colorado.  I will be happy to help loading if you want to send a trucking company to pick it up, I won't handle the shipping though.  Any questions please email me or call 303-507-0045, Mike.
