I will admit that this style of ford isnt my favorite, but it is a pretty neat truck still.

I ove my 1957 Ford. I call it Christine since Im the only person who likes it.....

 

It is a neat truck though not What I`d call a ''restoration'', it looks more like a nice original truck to me. That 429 lights my fire. Wonder what he`s asking?
Better not let your rebuilt engine in the 57 sit too long with out starting and running it for a while every few months Ryan, the valve guides like to seize bending push rods. That`s what happened on a 390 I had sitting around, upon start up there was some bad misses and when I pulled off the valve covers there was 4 bent push rods on one side and 3 more on the other side....
I must admit that it ran fairly well as a 4 cylinder FE though!

 

Somehow I dont think the 429 was stock back then in this 57, not sure Id call it original myself. Maybe a refreshed truck? A guy would have to see it up close I guess to see the kind of job they did restoring it.

They are asking 9 grand for it.

 

No, the 429 was difinately not stock in 57!
Still it might be a sweet driver.

 

Think the last time I ran her was in October....

 

Time to do that spring start up and yard/field drive.

 

Here`s a link to the sound of a 56 F100 with a 514 Ford crate motor:

That thing is mean assed! Nice truck, with the exception of that color!

 

Though I don`t mind this colour when something runs like ''Jack the Bear''
colour is very secondary....

Don`t ever go near that one with a spray bomb, you life would be in big jeopardy......

 

Haha yeah, You wouldnt be the only one waiting in line to kick my ***!!
