Just picked up another '53 F100 this afternoon!

Not really planning on doing too much with this one, so it'll be up for sale soon. Here are a few pictures I took, I'll take more when I get it unloaded this weekend. This thing is in INCREDIBLE shape for having it sit outside for 15 years. The only through-rust I could find is about the size of a quarter on the driver's floorboard. Starts, runs a bit rough, but it does live!

This is total awesomeness. I'd love to putt around in one of these as a DD. maybe even do a warmed up 5.0 in it....

Chop it, bag it, modern V8, 20's all around and call it done.

I would kill for a nice 53 Effie!!! Is it a V8 too? Last year of the Flathead. I love those trucks.

Unfortunately, it has an I6. I'm still thrilled with this truck, can't wait to get it home!

Nice find! I'd throw it on bags with some classic steelies, throw a Mexican blanket on the bench and call it a wrap... well, maybe sand off that yellow paint

You can turn that into this.....
My buddy's '56 F100...powered by a 428CJ, Toploader trans.

Nice project truck.

My dad is doing a 55 right now. It's all in primer now with the body work done but the only downside is he put a 350 in it. I told him to put a 302, 351 or a 460 in it but he is a chevy guy that likes the 53-56 style fords. I'll get some pics next time I go to his house.
