1953 Ford F100 4x4

I haven't posted in some time but since the 4x4/Truck Chapter is linked in now this covers each spectrum of Scroungers lol Here's one I just picked up, some know on here I have a soft spot for the 53-56 Ford effies and now I have another. I ended up trading one of my other rides for it but I had to have it. I traded my 85 Jeep CJ7 with a AMC 360 mated to a 4 speed lifted on 35's to This 53 Ford F100 on a Blazer frame with a 350 mated to a bulldog 4 speed on 33's. I'll throw up a couple pics for now, I need to change around the pedal configuration and seat height then I'll be hitting the streets some. The Jeep has been a blast but when given the option I had to go for the Ol Ford which brings the count to 4 of them right now but only 2 together and drivable.

The truck is gourgous

I would have done the same trade!

I noticed that truck southbound on US 27 in Alexandria Wednesday I believe. Nice looking old Ford.

That's a nice 'un. I would have done the same trade, too. That's a little sweetheart of a truck.

Nice truck Chad good trade!! Just want to know one thing does it have the automatic tailgate warmer option?

It did have the tailgate warmer but when it had the Chevy drive-train swapped in that tailgate option was obsolete and deleted.   

Hmmm? Sounds suspicious to me... I would have thought it to be the other way around- an option delete situation that was added as part of the (ahem) brand "X" powertrain component package. Well, I guess that's how confusion is created. Have to go see it in person to know for sure.

I am able to finally see pics ( work restricts some websites) and that is a super nice truck. Love the color! I do not like Fords, but since it has a GM drivetrain, would probably make an exception   

Love the copper/gold color on the F100!

It looks really nice in person. I stopped by and did a walk around. Chad's house is starting to look like hot rod alley.

I wish I knew ya was around yesterday Stewart, I was out and about all day. I need to get on my spring cleaning and continue putting my signs out. Thanks for the kind words guys, it should be a fun truck to cruise around for sure.
