Description
Lot #93 - This 1959 F-100 build started with a bone stock California truck that was completely torn down to build a true Resto-Mod. The original patina paint was wet-sanded and sprayed with a satin clear coat to preserve it, while the trim was removed and powder-coated Antique White. The original frame and suspension were replaced with a modern frame that includes independent front suspension, a 5-link limited-slip rear end, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes with slotted and drilled rotors, and it all rolls on matching powder-coated steel wheels. The original 6-cylinder was replaced with a fuel-injected SOHC 4.6-liter V8 engine mated to a 4R75W 4-speed automatic transmission. A Vintage Air heat and air conditioning system was added for all-season use. The interior features an updated steering column, Auto Meter gauges and a custom leather and houndstooth bench seat. The short bed was fitted with diamond-plate steel and bed-lined for protection. The original pink slip and photos documenting the build are included.
