The

rovic,
Where in Mississippi are you located? I'm in Vicksburg. I may have a friend here at work that might be interested in your truck project. Sounds like a lot of work has been done to it. Is any of it assembled? Can you post some pictures? Remember that pictures 500 x 400 and under work best here. '53, is that like the one on Sanford & Son?
AL

I'M on the other side of the state in Columbus and the Sanford and Son truck was a '51 or '52,I think.1953,'54,'55,' ARE similar just different grilles,56 similar but doors and cab a little different.I don't have any picyures to post and would'nt know how if I did.I type with one finger and not real sharp with computers.If you have any Questions email me at vnewman@cdispatch.com.Everything on the chassis is assembled ,encluding engine/trans ,driveshaft.etc and it rolls .Body is apart, wasgoing to paint then assemble.You could finish paint,wire it up ,install glass and interior and be driving.

Due to job layoffs I need to sell my unfinished '53 F100.Project Truck was a frame off rebuild.Frame was sandblasted,Fat Man MII,rebuilt stock a frames w/FullTilt Rod Shop strut rod eliminators,Granada rotors w '82 Mustang calipers,'85 Tbird power r&p,rear suspension is '68 Chevy truck trailing arms and coils,9" 3.25 FORD .It has a  new '69 Mustang gas tank w/sender mounted inside frame behind the 9".It has a .030/302 ,arp rod &head bolts,351W ported heads,and a complete Comp Camp vavletrain including a 268  EXTREME ENERGY cam,lifters springs,retainers ,locks,timing chain and gears.Has a chrome power plus intake and 600 Holley,finned aluminum valve covers and 5.0 Mustang headers.Trans is a C-6 with B&M Internals and a Holeshot convertor.All body parts were plastic media blasted and primed with epoxy primer.The rh rear cab corner wsa replaced and a electric antenae was frenched in.The fuel filler on the LH was filled as well as the cowl vent and the air intakes on the rf.The dash was smoothed .The cab,both doors,both front fenders were blocked sanded and ready for paint.It was to be painted 2000 Ford Focus blue pearl,color code K7.The inner fender aprons,the panel above the radiator,radiator support,lower gravel panel and grill are painted BC/CC. Truck has a new 4 core radiator and new a/c condensor.The door hinges rebushed and painted as was as all the small parts that go under the hood.The hood is in epoxy a still unfinished,as is the running boards.The bed and tailgate were shot, but I have two workable sets of rear fenders.I also will throw in a complete extra stock rolling chassis with this. What is fair asking price for this?? Do you know anyone looking for a truck.I'm in Mississippi and the truck was from Texas and I have Texas title.I would sell with or without the engine/trans.Please give me ideas on a asking price I need the money!!


7was block sanded nd ready for

I have been a long time member but don't post much.I have been working on a '53 F100 for about 4 years.I have gone through 2 job lay offs, one for 6 months and the last one for 9 months.I have not been able to do  much to the truck for over a year.I'M working now but can't afford to do anything to the '53 and could use the money if I can sell it ,but have no idea of it's worth.Is it okay to post what I have done to the truck and hopefully you or the others could help me come up with a asking price?? Possibly someone on the board knows someone looking for a truck like this! THANKS!

Couldn't access worthitdesigns.com. Is that url correct?

Sorry should be www.wurthitdesigns.com also check out www.1957Ford international.com , he is a regular on the forum and has pictures there.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check out the Granada, I've got a Monarch out back. 32, I used a Taurus rack on a '55 that turned out pretty good, but this guy doesn't want to spend the money for the time it woul  d take to get it  right.

Ragdol check www.worthitdesigns.com He has a kit and uses a GM r&p

I'm using '85 Mercury 5.0 in a '53 F100.Pull the timing cover off,mine had a fuel pump blockoff plate bolted on but no opening.Look on the inside of the cover and you can tell where the opening should be,drillout as much as possible then finish up with a diegrinder .Go get a fuelpump eccentric off any 289/302 to bolt on the camshaft.,some are one piece and some are two piece just use a cam gear for the same model.All smallblock Fords bolt up the same just different fittings or the angle of the fittings,also if you have clearance problems most vans (E100) used a fuel pump that shaped like it was upsidedown.You can use the duraspark module with the blue color on it or use the replacement HEI didtributor.
