This 1955 Ford F-100 showcases the bold redesign that marked a pivotal year for Ford trucks. Sporting an Aquatone Blue finish, it embodies the optimism of mid-50s America. The wraparound windshield and integrated grille design set this F-100 apart from its predecessors, blending rugged utility with automotive finesse. Rolling on 16-inch steel wheels wrapped in 225/75R16 Crosswind L780 tires, this classic hauler strikes a commanding presence. Two full-size spares mounted bedside add a touch of vintage flair.
The cabin exudes purposeful simplicity with a black vinyl bench seat that's both durable and period-correct. Painted dash and door panels match the exterior Aquatone Blue, creating a cohesive look. A Retrosound head unit paired with Kicker speakers in the kick panels provides modern audio without disrupting the vintage aesthetics. The clear gauges and lightly patinated switchgear tell the story of this truck's journey through time. A full plastic/vinyl headliner extends to the rear cab, complemented by newer sun visors.
Ford's trusty 215 cubic inch inline-six engine powers this F-100, mated to a three-speed manual transmission. The engine bay showcases clean wiring, a newer distributor, and coil. A Dana 44 rear axle handles power delivery, while leaf springs all around provide the classic truck ride. An upgraded front disc brake conversion with four-piston calipers enhances stopping power for modern driving conditions. A single exhaust with an aftermarket muffler rounds out the mechanical upgrades, balancing vintage character with contemporary performance.
