59 F100 on American Restoration
Did anyone see that last night? Was it just me or did a 2wd turn into a 4x4. The stance of the white truck was 2wd all the way through the show, then it was a 4x4 when it was done. And not to be nipicky but I'm pretty sure they never came with body colored wheels, or hubcaps, correct me if I'm wrong.
Pretty reminiscent of the old American restoration, a lot of ripping apart and grinding, then it's finished. And when he said $90,000 I about fell over, and some collector paid $75,00 for it??? Wowza

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that seen that. Agree the first was a 2wd short box. I think they must have just found a 59 F100 4x4 that was already restored and showed it at the end and tried to play it off as the same truck. Iirc they did not show it being painted. The transfer case shift **** did not surprise me either. They do not repop the white t-case shift *****. Its odd that they didnt make it look better though. And the first guy coughs up 75K ? Yea right!

The idiots told the buyer (who they claimed was a Ford truck expert ) that the hubcaps were factory originals. BS!
They installed repro 1948/56 F100 innie caps (6A-1130-A), drilled holes in the front caps for the 4WD front hubs to poke thru.
The so-called 'expert' buyer believed this BS!
No F100 4WD had front hubcaps until 1977, no F250 4WD had them until 1984.
