This vehicle was originally built in Fords Chicago, Illinois (VIN code G) assembly plant and has been authentically restored to its original condition and color by Hard Reproductions in Rolla, Missouri, about two hours drive southwest of St. Louis.

Show the truck and win trophies or turn it into an advertising write off for your company!Re-finished in its original Meadow Green, the trucks paint and trim, including the white grille, are in overall excellent order but the F-350 badges that belong on the sides of the hood are missing. The glass panels, including the one piece curved windshield and 48-inch wide rear window, are clear and intact and the trucks lights are clear. The horn is inoperable. One of the distinguishing F-350 features is its ventilated-disc wheels. Here, they are painted black and are surrounded by 7.50-17 tires in front and 7.50-16 light truck tires in the rear. All of the body panels on its 130-inch wheelbase are straight, including its double-wall steel doors and steel rub rails, and solid.Behind the cab is a nine-foot long flatbed platform with mounting holes for wooden or metal stakes. It is in very good order, as is the trucks black front bumper and the engine bay is exceptionally tidy and very well presented.Under that hood is a rebuilt 223 CID inline six-cylinder (VIN code D) engine linked to a rebuilt four-speed heavy-duty manual transmission. All of the trucks bearings and seals have been replaced, it features a reproduction radiator, fuel tank, lights and trim pieces.Inside, the restoration continues with a dark green bench seat that is in very good order, black floor mats (no carpet here; this is a work truck!) and a good, workaday headliner. The metal instrument panel has complete instrumentation, is painted the same color as the body and looks keen! The original three-spoke steering wheel is present and the inner door panels present the same Meadow Green as the rest of the body. The mirror glass looks good and the shifter is in good shape. There is no radio but there is a heater under the instrument panel.Ford redesigned the F-Seriesfor 1953 with a more integrated look. The pickups also obtained their widely familiar names: The F-1 now became theF-100, the F-2 and F-3 now became theF-250 and the F-4 now became the 1-tonF-350. Optional interior amenities were new, including a dome light, lighter, armrests, sun visors and a radio.There were few changes again for the 55 F100 over the 53 and 54. A new grille was designed for the 55 F100 as well as matching chrome parts. Side chrome hood trim became more elaborate rather than the simpler block F100 letters from the 53 and 54. A custom cab option was available on the 55 F100. A custom cab truck came with chrome Custom Cab door emblems. Some paint colors changed for the 55 F100. Engine combinations remained the same on the 54 and 55 F100. Thesix-cylinder engine'sdisplacement was increased from 215 to 223 CID and power steering was introduced as an option. All were overhead valve engines.Ford claimed a 30 percent share of the truck market in 1955. Competition to this F-350 in 1955 included Chevrolets Task Force truck, Dodges C-series truck, GMCs Blue Chip truck and Mercurys M-4 truck (Canada only).This truck is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
