My 53 F-100


Dang! Love that truck. I had a '53 back when I was 16. Sold it though... still not sure why. I guess 'cause I was a broke high school student, and didn't have the proper funds to put into it. :annoyed:

So nice though, love it!

same story here, i had a 56 f100, except i "sold" it to my dad and its still sitting in the barn
 
So i'm building a 383 stroker for this truck...here's the progess so far...
Probe Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods, Scat crankshaft, Edelbrock Performer RPM cam and lifters, and Edelbrock Performer RPM heads.

Overrated my ass. I only know of a few people around here that have built 383's. I see more 302's and 350's than anything else. As for the 327 comment...you made me laugh.
 
my buddy has 5 327's , and the latest one he built for his 64 C-10 is an animal but of course it did come from a 64 Corvette :D

and at the college i go to , everyone that does not have an engine of their own out of their own vehicle to build goes to the local scrap yard , picks up a SBC and builds a 383 , then sells it , the cool ones i see are the 408 stroker SBM's and the .040 440 BBM with the 6-Pack and the Mopar performance 'Purple' cam

EDIT: Last years senior class , there were 16 383's built between august and may , an average of 4 per 7.5 week class

yea , there are a lot of them in my area , i thin i can cout 6 383's for every 10 350's out here , that is the reason my plans for the 72 went from 383 to , Build the 427 out of the Dump Truck , to a mild 355 build

is that a 4 bolt block ?
 
Those Jeep Wrangler/ trailer kit tailights actually suit that truck pretty well. She's a beaut Tom.
