What caught my attention, first, was the price for a 1957. Much to my surprise I then saw other inconsistencies to say the least

57 ford f-100 stepside

It seems it is about $12,998 over priced! I was noticing how many engine parts were removed, repainted and reinstalled... but was any repair actually done?

you need to know it will alway be worth more to the man/lady that owns it. it looks like he loved his truck and still does. its not worth what he wants to everyone else but to him it might be. i could spend 50G's on my truck by its only worth 3G's. its sad but its all true. he'll never get what he wants but we can all try lol

What is going on with the paint there? It looks like it had a pretty decent paint job before and then he went all Christmas with it.

If you look in the ..BEFORE photo it has some pretty noticeable damage, so he just swapped body parts, as most of us would do! You have to look really closely, and blow up the pic to see it though!

I don't know guys, that rack of horns is pretty sexy.
And the lovely touch with the spaghetti on top of the engine.
It might be a deal.

67grille, right? Stupid stupid stupid!!! That's a 63 grille What motor does it have? Dizzy in front, it would've had a 292 or a straight 6. The bed at least some people want. The fender swap was either from a 65 or 66 according to emblem placement. The door and hood were also swapped. Yeah gotta love the spahgetti mess.
