I'm sorry fellas but as of this time as I dont have it home yet here is the only picture of my 53 i just acquired to be my daily driver . its in my galleries under the new daily driver . The ugly guy in the pic is my son in law .

 

Looks like a neat daily driver, I`m working on a 53 M100 like it this summer.

 

I tried to put the progress photos and photos of the donor cab up but as usual the 'putor and me ain't seeing eye to eye , sorry i'll try again later .

 

That would be great to have more pictures, the truck looks good, nice and straight.

 

yeah, looks to be in real good shape. Trade ya my dd, lol?

 

Nice truck. Looks pretty straight from what I could see in the pic. ...........RUSTY

 

thanks but no thanks havi , i think this one is gonna be here a while . hated to get rid of my gmc but im not gonna find to many of these ol' girls in this shape and im tired of bleeding for parts every time the computor hiccups on this late model stuff .

 

A 1953 Ford truck used as a daily driver? Is it possible? Yes. A long time friend has driven the same 1954 F100 for 26 years daily...in Los Angeles traffic, no less. His truck has a 223 with stick and overdrive. The truck is totally original except for the circa 1959 repaint and the Dennis Carpenter oak bed wood. And...dare I say it...it's rust free!

 

My frame-off resto'ed '53 will be a daily driver within the next 2 weeks. It's an awesome truck, built to last the first time by Ford and the second time by me. It lasted 54 years and 125K miles before the first rebuild, and even if I have to re-do a full resto every 10 years it's still cheaper than buying a new vehicle. Even has a receiver hitch to pull stuff around with. Me and 'Mater will eat trailer queens for breakfast...

 

never owned a trailer queen don't see any use in such vehicles and im gonna drive the wheels off of this 53 !
