I found this truck at the Monroe WA swap meet a few weeks back as figured I couldn�t live without it. Very clean 1953 Deluxe cab F-100. Has the stock V8 and three speed on the column. Truck runs and drives nice. I had the whitewalls and ironically the green wheels I put on it when I got it home. Truck runs like a watch and everything works except the cigarette lighter. Shows just over 40,000 miles which I believe are original.

Figured the pics out. Here it is in front of my garage a couple nights ago

That's a nice straight truck. Lose the whitewalls though....

coolcoupe · 06-13-2018, 01:22 PM

really nice fine, I love those trucks !!

I kinda like the WW's, especially with the '41 caps. They aren't bad on a green truck.

Neat truck!! What did you do with that '46-'48 coupe?

Nice clean original '53. Great find. Detail the motor, put a little gray primer on the rusty areas, and drive the heck out of it.

Stunning! No matter the price, it was a deal. To quote "runs like a watch" .

White walls are perfect.

Use it in good health.

Whitewalls make it, don’t take them off!

I like it!

waterboychuck · 06-13-2018, 06:09 PM

Since the truck has Montana plates did the seller haul it back to Spokane for you?

Great truck - love the "original" patina! WWs on a truck are either loved or hated - they look great on yours. Miles of smiles!

big job · 06-14-2018, 07:36 AM

holy smokes. Here's a good one. Our local Ford Dealer has banners strung up in the
show room showing the new 1953 Custom cab. I said to salesman I want two, one
F100 and one F350. Now I get the space look: I said false advertising ain't it..
So why do they pump ya all up ........sam

corvette8n · 06-14-2018, 09:17 AM

Great looking truck, enjoy driving it.

50fordcoupeman · 06-14-2018, 09:41 AM

Great truck!! Tailgate is in amazingly good shape. I was raised west side of Spokane and brother lives in Montana so seeing this truck is like going home. Thanks for sharing............
