| History This 1959 Ford F100 Shortbox Stepside is original and fully restored. I purchased the truck 3 years ago in Manitoba. Prior to me the truck has not been driven on the road since 1986. The truck had a complete nut and bolt restoration, it was stripped down to the frame rails and every inch of the truck was sand blasted to bare metal. No body work was every done on the truck prior to this restoration, so the truck has only ever been painted one time. The vehicle is privince inspected until Sept 2006. This truck drives like new and was restored to last! The truck was appraised (11/23/04) at $15,000 (USD) 2 years ago (before the restoration was completed). My reserve is less than this old appraisal. |

| Engine The engine is the original 223 6 cylinder engine complete with original working generator, horn and radiator. Radiator top and bottom tanks were removed cleaned and re-soldiered There is less then 2000 miles on the engine since it was rebuilt. The engine was bored and completely overhauled on April 2004 (new bearings, crank shaft, cam shaft, valves, lifters, cylinders, oil pump, gas pump, etc.). Carburetor is the original 1 barrel Holley with glass bowl and was rebuilt (The overhaul kit was $1200 USD just for the parts). The engine runs great and is very reliable! |

| Wheels, Tires, Hub Caps and Bumpers Truck has all fibe 16 inch original Ford rims with new 245x70x16 tires. Includes 4 dog dish white hub caps with red Ford letters. The hub caps have never been painted and have no dents! These hub caps are rare and hard to find. Spare tire rim has a ding in it but is ok for a spare. The other 4 rims are in great shape. Front bumper has a push bar which is not original but looks good and was put on by someone who really knew what they were doing so I left it on. The front bumper is 1/4 inch steel and could really take an impact. Rear bumper is not original but I wanted a step bumper instead of a steel bar. |
