1951 Ford F-100

This is a 1951 Ford Truck with a 1978 Chevrolet Nova front end. The truck was stripped down completely and built from the bottom up. The frame has been cut and modified in order to fit the new engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and power steering, from the Nova. I am a professional metal fabricator and did all of the work to ensure everything works well.
Updates to the 350 Chevy engine include an Edelbrock intake manifold and four barrel carburetorwith an electric Holly fuel pump feeding off the relocated gas tank behind the differential. The cooling system has been updated with a four row custom all aluminum radiator that you can see in the pictures.
An all new 12V "painless" wiring harness kit has replaced the entire original wiring harness and it allows you to add power windows, alarm system, interior lights, etc., if you wish to.
The main reason for doing this conversion is the benefit of having reliable power steering and power disc brakes in the front and rear. The 225/60/15 tires are in good shape and together with the new front coil spring suspension help the truck handle phenomenally.
The interior is in great shape, the original bench seat has been reconditioned and reupholstered. The headliner is brand new as well as the leather door panels.
A single coat of urethane paint has been used to paint the whole body and it's free of any dents or dings. The red paint gives the truck a beautiful presence and it's better appreciated in person.
The bad: The windshield wipers are not operational because the wiper motor needs to be replaced. Transmission has a small oil leak. The actual mileage is unknown. New gauges have been installed.
Finally the truck has May 2020 tags and it's ready to go to it's next owner.The vehicle is located in south Orange County buyer is responsible for shipping. Payment Methods accepted are cashier's check, personal check (will not release until check clears) or wire transfer. Thank you.
