It's located in central Indiana. 53 F-100 in primer needs some bodywork. It has a 390 in it now but the trans is out and apart, it's a C-6. It has a non-stock rearend but I'm not sure if it's an 8 or 9 inch. The wiring harness is gone and so is the interior. I also have a mustang II front suspension that will go with the truck if you want it. I'm asking $800.00 email me for pics Dan ------------------------------ From: "Stephen Hansen" Subject: Re: Inner Fender Suggestions Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 15:43:31 -0500 Shawn, The bestest tool for restoring a truck is a 4 or 4 1/2 inch disk grinder. They cost about 50-80 dollars. Then for about 10-15 dollars. a flat (not cupped) wire wheel, and they have them in a heavy gauge. I remove the guard for wire-wheeling BUT KEEP THE HANDLE ON! (I speak form experience). The wire wheel WILL throw small pieces of wire into you, so long TIGHT sleeves help and a face shield. This set-up will EAT anything, and will even clean off oily grease very nice. You will get VERY dirty with this set-up; but the results are amazing. I cleaned my entire frame with it, as well as most of the cab before I got a air compressor and a DA. I've probably used up 30 wheels on my 4" Makita, but it is still one of the most often used tools for me. I'll clean gasket surfaces with it, blocks etc. As I finish up a engine, I'll bolt the piece on (timing cover, head etc) then run the wheel over the joint cleaning off the extra gasket and goop, then paint it. the block will look great. Anyway, that is my suggestion, Steve ------------------------------ From: Flathead52 aol.com Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 16:54:04 EDT Subject: Re: 1953 F-100 for sale Dan I'm in Terre Haute. Were is the truck at? Tom ------------------------------ From: "Carver" Subject: 292 Tune Up, Runs Great! Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 21:35:14 -0700 Stock 292 with functioning Heat Riser Valve. Thanks for the enlightenment on it's function. I'll admit up front that I didn't do any of the direct work to tune up my truck. I suppose overtime at my real job to pay someone to do it doesn't count. For years my truck needed about 10 minutes of idle time to warm up sufficiently to run without dying. The down side is the effects of all that idling on the intake manifold. Just as predicted by the learned masters of the FTE lists, the manifold got overheated. Now to see what happens when the valve is removed. I managed to obtain a used GREAT set of intake and exhaust manifolds through the FTE (Thanks!) and now that they are installed, the engine tuned up, I didn't know the engine could be so quiet! and powerful! Zounds! it feels great to drive my truck with good tires, good suspension, good brakes, and a good running engine, mm mm mm mm mm life is good. If any one wants like to know how much money they are saving by doing their own tune up, try 3 hours at current labor rates just for labor. Over 8 hours to cleanup, prep, remove old, and install the manifolds. Well worth the money though, as I just don't have the time with my new job. I should be able to rely on my truck to start finally. The down side is I'm gonna be making more dump runs, since I don't have any transportation excuses anymore!

To my knowledge this is the only year Ford used this particular design, '54 and '56 up are "conventional" rectangular units. The heater controls on the '55 were also arranged to match the radio design. It will be a 6 volt radio. 47 Fred ------------------------------ From: "O'Connell, Dennis M" Subject: Vin Plate Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 07:05:46 -0700 Hi all, A friend of mine has found a junkyard 55 F100 that he wants to restore. His problem is there is no vin plate or title for the truck. Does anyone have a junk cab or something with a vin plate, title?. Or, do'es anyone have a better suggestion on how he can get this registered in Calif. Thanks Dennis 55F100(No it's not mine) ------------------------------ From: APoppert aol.com Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 16:11:22 EDT Subject: Re: Radio ID Your radio is for '53-56 truck. Car versions had push buttons for preselect under the round radio.
