F-100 on Jalopnik and ebay

Here is a story I just saw on Jalopnik about a listing on ebay for a 53 F-100.
Forget The Ford F150, This Is The Coolest Cheap Truck You Can Buy Today

I just don't understand vehicles like that. You can't use it as a truck anymore, it won't fit more than two people, it has 4 wheel drive and less ground clearance than a Subaru, and it has obviously been rebuilt but still looks like junk. I can appreciate GBs working trucks that look like old working trucks. This is something else entirely.

The owner/builder (pwrhws) was on this forum about a year ago, he has a build thread showing his progress. I like it.

I could not agree more.

GB's working trucks are things of beauty!
This one....I don't hate it, but I'm not too fond of it either. I think a truck should be a truck.

The thing that hit me most was the Jalopnik title "The coolest cheap truck you can buy today." What!!!! $17,500!!! Compare that to Dr. Smith's F250 that sold for around $10k. Now that was a thing of beauty. These guys have a completely different definition of cheap than I do.

That is GB Sisson, he has a bunch of old trucks that are used for the jobs they were built for. Lots of very cool stuff.

Here is one of his threads.

Here is a typical example.



Edit: I can't stop looking at that picture. So very cool!
