Vehicle Description

This classic Ford "Dent-side" is a real head-turner. A complete frame-off restoration from the original 300 cid (4.9 L) straight-six engine to the 4-speed manual transmission and front axle. Every nut, bolt, and panel has been rebuilt or replaced. Odometer reads just 30,135 original miles.

Includes full notebook with receipts from the 2013–2017 build, clear Washington state title in hand.

We paid close attention to keeping the truck stock. All body panels, hood, doors,cab, and bed came from a combination of the original truck and a single parts truck. We used the straightest and most rust-free parts from each truck. I purchased the original truck along with the parts truck in 2013 and started the restoration. It was completed in 2017.
The truck has been parked/stored in a climate-controlled garage ever since. Less than 1000 miles have been put on the truck since completion. It drives and operates great. The 4-speed is a lot of fun to drive... lots of torque.Drivetrain & Performance
