1955 F100 Finished with Pictures

I bought this truck from someone who gave up just after paint a couple months ago. So our shop finished it up. It's not perfect and a few things for the next owner to do, but all the hard stuff is done. It had leaks from every possible gasket. But we went through everything and it runs good now. Sings like a sewing machine. It's definitely a good cruiser. On to the next project. Just bought a big window.

Nice job! Do you know what color green that is?

Brad,
I really don't. But I have a bunch of paint chips that I might be able to get a color matched up pretty close for you. I'll try to remember tomorrow.

Probably should have, but it was already blue. Next time right?

That's a good looking truck.

I'm always amazed at the project priorities chosen by some POs. The urge to get the paint and interior done ahead of the mechanical work must be overpowering for some. They must be more prepared to make engine sounds in lieu of actually driving than I was.

Yellow engine would be good if you were trying to show it, but what you have is a great looking truck! Love the green!
