I bought this truck in 2003 from the original owner. It was sold by wilson ford sales in fairmont west virginia in 1953 and I still have the original key fob the truck came with when it was sold new. This truck has the original engine and automatic transmission it left the factory with. I decided to leave the paint original and do a mechanical restoration since I rarely see these the way they left the factory in 1953 and I love the way it looks. Here is a list of the new items I have purchased and have had done since I purchased the truck. Original 8RT engine rebuilt by H and H ($5400.00), original automatic transmission rebuilt ($605.00), complete bumper to bumper wiring harness, front end rebuilt and aligned and steering box rebuilt ($1000.00), radiator rebuilt and recored with 4 row core and transmission cooler reconditioned ($535.00), 5 tires, new floor mat, headlight switch, 4 shocks, 6 volt battery, complete new brake system and 4 drums turned, new front bumper, 4 new hubcaps, hoses and belts, new engine and trans mounts, new running boards ($500.00), starter, generator and carb rebuilt, new fuel pump, water pumps rebuilt, speedometer reconditioned, new front wheel bearings and seals, seat reupholstered, new arm rests but I can't find the pad for the driver side. I know I have it somewhere. New voltage regulator, new grill teeth and hood boomerangs, new dome light, sun visors and brackets, door mirrors and rear view mirror, New headliner but not installed yet because I suck at interior anything and I'm afraid of damaging it. Gas tank cleaned and lined and new sending unit. new battery tray and hold down, complete new exhaust system, new headlight rings, tail lights, new door panels, kick panels and rear of seat panel. As for rust, there is a little bit in the front rockers and the front bottoms of the rear fenders and on of the bottom front lip of the bed. The truck overall is very solid with excellent cab floor. The rust you see on the top of the hood and cab is surface only and can be sanded and painted. The bed has a metal plate that slides out if you want to remove it and put the original bed wood and strips. I have all the crossmembers. Nothing has ever been modified on this truck and would be a great restoration candidate or drive as is. I have all the reciepts for parts and services I have purchased since I bought it in 2003. This has been my regular driver for years now and has never had any issues or breakdowns. I have put 6000 miles on the new engine and it has never missed a beat once. The truck also comes with NOS fender skirts, original radios, owners manual, factory manual, parts book, dealers truck handbook, sales brochure, paint chips pages and 2 boxes of extra parts I got my mits on during the time I have owned this. I also have all the original turn signal parts if you want to install turn signals in the truck. I have posted a lot of pictures so you can get a good idea of the trucks condition and everything that comes with it. I have $19800.00 in this truck as you see it but my reserve is thousands below that. Please don't ask the reserve, just bid what you think is fair. I'm not in love with the idea of selling the truck but I have a 1949 mercury and a 1959 cadillac both in dire need of engine rebuilds and we all know what kind of money that is going to require plus I have 1968 ford truck so at least I will still have a truck to use if this 1953 does sell. If you have any further questions or want to speak further you can call me at (626) 284-4013. If you want to come and see the truck in person, give me a call and we can set an appointment. Please keep calls between 6 and 9 pm monday through friday and anytime on the weekend (within reason of course). I accept cash in person, wire transfer or cashiers check for payment. Sorry, no paypal on this. Payment must clear before the truck is allowed to be picked up. Thanks for understanding. My name is Bill and thanks for any and all interest in my auction.

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion
Tue, 01 Oct 2013A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.
J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.
