This 1953 Ford F100 Custom Truck is a true blend of classic style and modern performance. Featuring a steel body with fiberglass rear fenders for extra width, it's powered by a potent 351 Windsor engine boasting around 540HP with a compression ratio of 10.5:1. The engine setup includes a roller motor for smooth operation.
To ensure reliable ignition, it's equipped with an MSD ignition system and distributor. Cooling is handled by a new radiator sourced from a mid-fifty Ford, along with a transmission cooler and a thermostat-controlled electric fan to maintain optimal temperatures.
The powertrain is matched with a C6 automatic transmission featuring a 3000 stall shift kit and a Hurst shifter for precise gear changes. Traction is enhanced by a narrowed Ford 9" rear end with Moser axles and a 3.73 Posi setup.
For improved handling and braking, it's been upgraded with a Mustang 2 front suspension with disc brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering, complemented by a No Limit Engineering pro-street leaf spring kit at the rear.
Inside, modern amenities abound, including a GM steering column, YDO gauges, and a Foscate AM/FM radio with a 6-disc changer. The audio system is enhanced with four Fusion 6.5" speakers and two Fusion 10" subs, powered by a Fusion 5-channel amp.
Creature comforts include power windows, power vent, and leather seats sourced from a first-gen Dodge Durango, providing both style and comfort.
Externally, it features a Pace Edwards roll-up hard tonneau cover, wing wheelie bars for added stability, and a changeable neon lights kit for a customizable aesthetic. A power retractable antenna adds convenience, while Centerline Warrior wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson tires provide both style and performance.
The fuel system is robust, featuring an Aeromotive electric fuel pump and regulator, along with a 30-gallon fuel cell for extended range. The oak bed adds a touch of classic charm, while the custom stainless steel grille and 3rd brake light enhance both style and safety.
Completing the package is a 3" exhaust system with Flowmaster 2-chamber mufflers and an "H" pipe for that signature rumble and improved exhaust flow. Overall, this 1953 Ford F100 Custom Truck is a meticulously crafted blend of classic aesthetics and modern performance upgrades, sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
