1965 Ford F-100 CUSTOM CAB

WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO PRESENT OUR FORD F-100 SHORTBED. CHECK OUT OUR YOU TUBE VIDEO WALK AROUND ENTITLED "EM2 F-100 SHORTBED" WE GOT THIS FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BEFORE WE TOOK IT DOWN TO BARE METAL. ECO BLAST NW (JOHN DICE) DID A GREAT JOB BLASTING THE OLD CHROME YELLOW PAINT OFF TO REVEAL A REAL GEM UNDERNEATH. VERY LITTLE FILLER AND ONLY ONE TINY RUST SPOT ON THE WHOLE DARN TRUCK. WE INCLUDED A PIC OF THE STRIPPED TRUCK SO YOU COULD SEE FOR YOURSELF. WE THEN DID 4 COATS OF CATALYZED PRIMER, 4 COATS OF BASE, AND 4 COATS OF CLEAR. THE BODY WAS SANDED WITH 1500 GRIT AND POLISHED TO A REALLY NICE GLOSS. THEN WE USED AN ANTI SWIRL TOOL AND DID ANOTHER POLISH WITH THAT TOOL. DON'T THINK THERE ARE MANY NICER F100 BODIES AROUND BUT YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU FIND ONE. LOL THE ENGINE IS A REBUILT C6ME 390 CUBIC INCH 2V MOTOR WITH HEADERS AND MATED UP TO A TREMEC 5 SPEED FOR THE FORWARD MOTION. LOOK AT THE CHASSIS PICS CLOSELY AND YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW WELL THIS WAS DONE. THE REAR DIFF 3:25 GEARS ARE REBUILT BY PROS AND THE TRACTION BARS MAKE THE POSI FUNCTION WELL. THIS IS A NO DISAPPOINTMENTS CHASSIS WITH TIGHT STEERING, EXCELLENT SHOCKS, A RELOCATED FUEL TANK(FROM BEHIND THE SEAT), AND A ZERO RUST COATED FRAME. THE BED WAS REMOVED AND BLASTED, RAPTOR LINED, AND SOME WIRE MANAGEMENT DONE WHILE THE BED WAS OFF. UNDER THE BED LOOKS BRAND NEW. ALL 4 WHEEL WELLS WERE RAPTOR COATED AS WELL. THE FUEL LINES ARE NEW AS IS THE FUEL PUMP. IT STARTS INSTANTLY AND RUNS EVER SO SMOOTHLY. THE BRAKES ON ALL FOURS WERE REDONE BY PROFESSIONALS AS WAS THE ALIGNMENT. IT DRIVES STRAIGHT AND TIGHT. THE ELECTRICAL IS FUNCTIONAL ON ALL LEVELS EXCEPT THE HORN AND WE ORDERED A NEW ONE.
THE INTERIOR WAS RAPTOR LINED IN TINTABLE RAPTOR AND TINTED TO MATCH THE BODY. THE ORIGINAL FLOORS WERE AWESOME. WE INSTALLED A NEW RUBBER MOLDED MAT AND BOOT FOR THE 5 SPEED. THE EXHAUST IS TWO SMALL MUFFLERS GOING INTO ONE FLOWMASTER AND SOUNDS EXCELLENT. THE PIPE IS 3". WE USED THE RAPTOR FOR SOUND AND RUST PROOFING. I THINK I'LL ADD A TACH EVEN THOUGH IT LOPES ALONG AT FREEWAY SPEEDS SO IN CASE THE SPEEDO IS OFF ONE CAN DRIVE BY THE TACH. THE ORIGINAL RADIO COMES ON AND THE LIGHT WORKS BUT IT MAKES AN UNGODLY NOISE THROUGH A NEW SPEAKER, NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE ANTENNA IS NEW. WE REPLACED THE CUSTOM CAB AND TWIN I BEAM EMBLEMS BUT NOTHING ELSE. THIS IS AN AWESOME LITTLE SHORTBED.
