Video: A Beautiful Black 1953 Ford F100 Hits The Auction Block

Our buddies over at RK Motors Charlotte have done it again with this one. A frame-off build, drool over this beautiful 1953 Ford F100 Pickup that has all the right things going for it to keep its wonderful legacy intact.1953-Ford-F100-Pickup-Truck_322555_low_res

All blacked out and ready to go, this F100 holds onto its timeless good looks and bubbly aesthetics. Cherished as a cultural icon, this second generation F100 has been brought back to gold standard, resembling the cruiser it was 60-plus years ago.

The F100s deep black paint keeps the truck’s curves honest and shrouded into mystery as your eyes dive over each fender. The oak bed adds a classic touch to the truck, only enhancing the truck’s vintage appeal.

However, it’s the truck’s internals that make it a great option as a daily cruiser. Under the hood rests a 5.0-liter Ford small-block V8 with stock heads and a coated Edelbrock Magneti Morelli carb. The F100s engine is mated to a C6 three-speed automatic transmission and a completely rebuilt suspension that features a Mustang II front clips and KYB Excel-G shock absorbers.

All this Ford’s power spins a set of 20-inch Billet Specialties Vintec wheels, which are wrapped in 245/35R20 and 275/40R20 Capitol Sport UHP’s. Power front disc and rear drum brakes as well as rack and pinion steering keep handling precise on this F100. A fully custom interior, complete with Vintage Air conditioning, a billet-trimmed dash, and an elegant bench seat help to complete the F100s beautiful package.
