This 1955 Ford F-100 was body-off refurbishment. The work involved installing a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 and a four-speed automatic transmission, repainting the body in black, re-trimming the interior, and installing a rear multi-link suspension setup, independent front suspension components, rack-and-pinion power steering, and disc brakes as well as Vintage Air climate control, Classic Instruments gauges, and a Sony CD stereo. Additional equipment includes 20″ wheels, running boards, tan leather upholstery, and a center console with cupholders.
The 6.2-liter LS3 V8 have been purchased new and was installed, and features aluminum cylinder heads, a March serpentine accessory drive assembly, an aluminum radiator, and an open-element air cleaner. The 4L65E four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels through a 9″ rear axle with a limited-slip differential and 3.55:1 gearing.
The body was repainted black during the body-off refurbishment, and the cargo bed floor has been coated with bedliner material and fitted with body-color runners. Equipment includes a shaved front bumper, a rear roll pan, running boards, and black Ford F-100 badging. The grille, bed runners, emblems, dual mirrors, door handles, headlight and running light trim rings are powder-coated in black. The fuel filler has been relocated to the cargo bed. A wiper motor is installed and the arms have been removed.
The black 20″ alloy wheels wear 255/40 Toyo Proxes Sport tires. Stopping power is from four-wheel disc brakes with drilled rotors and front Wilwood six-piston calipers. Modifications include rack-and-pinion power steering, a TCI Mustang II-style independent front suspension system, and a TCI four-link rear suspension setup with coilovers.
The cabin was refreshed under prior ownership and features a bench seat upholstered in tan leather joined by a color-coordinated headliner, door panels, and carpeting. Equipment includes a body-color dashboard, push-button start, Vintage Air climate control, lap belts, a removable center console with cup holders, and a Sony CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. The wiring harness was replaced during the refurbishment.
The Billet Specialties flat-bottom steering wheel is mounted on an Ididit tilt-adjustable steering column and sits ahead of a Classic Instruments gauge cluster. The instrument panel houses a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and voltage.
The six-digit odometer shows 863 miles, though total mileage is unknown.
