The 1953 Ford F-100 is one of the best trucks around to turn into a street machine. As you take a closer look at this one, its slick paint, custom interior, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and powerful V8 let you know this is the cream of the crop. This classic pickup wants everyone to remember exactly who you are. The striking deep blue metallic paint is quite distinct. It's almost as dark as black, but when the... sunlight hits it, the deep metallic element loves to radiate quality. It only gets better as they painted the grille and front bumper for a more modern appearance. That idea is furthered by all the great details, like the clear blue-dot headlights, shaved door handles, custom underside lights, and custom rear roll pan that goes well with the flat tailgate. And those polished racing-style 15-inch wheels that have the extra wide rear rubber and aggressively lowered stance hint at the performance upgrades beneath the sheetmetal. So while this might have started life as a workhorse, the only evidence of that anymore is the glossy real wood in the truck bed. The moment you pop the remote door opener, you realize there was plenty left in the budget to splurge on a full custom interior. There's a nice gray on the custom door panels, seats, and headliner. The black dash, black carpeting, and premium wood inserts nicely complement this look. You'll love the added comfort of individual bucket seats with a custom center console in-between. Plus, you have convenient upgrades like power windows, power locks, and an AM/FM/CD stereo. But while everyone might want to be your passenger, the best treats are reserved just for you. The grippy sports steering wheel, chrome tilt column, and full AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultra Lite gauge package are pure performance. And you know you'll love the ratchet action of the Hurst shifter. Grab your sunglasses before popping the hood. There's a ton of polished components, including the valve covers, air topper, alternator, master cylinder. And the glossy smooth firewall and inner fenders really maximize the presentation. Beyond this style is some serious substance. This is a 350 cubic-inch V8 with the right go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, and shorty headers that feed a rumbling side-exit dual exhaust. Plus, there are nice supporting components, like an MSD ignition and aluminum radiator w/electric fan. As you look at the undercarriage, you'll spot an upgraded independent front end and proper four-link rear w/adjustable coilovers. The three-speed automatic transmission and power steering make driving easy. And the four-wheel disc brakes are an awesome upgrade for confident stopping power. This custom build perfectly combines classic looks, modern conveniences, and high horsepower. So if you want all eyes on you this weekend, you need to call today!
