IMAGINE HOW AMAZING IT WILL LOOK WHEN YOU TAKE THE TIME TO DETAIL AT HOME! OVERVIEW Yep. more trucks. You love them. I love them. and apparently the whole WORLD loves them because we have sold more classic trucks in the past 3 months than ever before. and most are going overseas. This amazing truck is being offered for the first time here on eBay. and is a ground-up. full custom machine that has been built with the best of the best in all new components. Please take a moment to read the detailed listing. look over the 75 extra-large detailed photos. and then call me to make it yours before someone else does it first! THIS VEHICLE HAS A CLEAN AND CLEAR FLORIDA TITLE IN OUR POSSESSION. AND IS NOT A CONSIGNMENT VEHICLE. DESCRIPTION This 1948 Ford F3 Stake Bed truck is a completely fresh. ground up build with just about 500 miles on it since completion. It was built to be a full-on show quality truck that also has the reliability and ease of maintenance you need to make it daily driver or long-haul cruiser. After spending a month or so cruising this thing around SWFL. I can say that it is about as nice a driving machine as you could ask for. and inspires confidence in you to take it on a short cruise to a car show. as well as on a Power Tour! The body is all steel. and has been expertly customized and crafted into the sleek and streamlined machine you see in the 75 EXTRA-LARGE photos below. The roof has been chopped. the fenders have been narrowed. the beltline cleaned up. the nose smoothed. hood side’s custom flamed. antenna frenched. and too much more to mention. All of the work has been done in metal. and looks as clean from behind as it does on the painted surface. The truck holds a 4”x4” felt covered magnet like it was glued on. and shows no sign of any bondo. chicken-wire. beer can. or other patch panels. It is straight. smooth. and everything aligns and fits better than it did when the truck left the factory! The underside of the cab is just as nice. with a full clean pan that shows like new! The finish is a Corvette 74U Victory Red from DuPont. and it looks great from front to back. with a handful or so little marks like stone chips and blemishes to be found. A few tiny spots were touched up with correct paint as well. The finish is glossy. slick. and wet looking. and shines just as nice under the boulevard lights as it does in sunlight. Galaxy black has been used on the bed rails. frame. and running boards. and shows wonderfully. with just a few marks and touch-up spots to show it’s been driven. mainly on the bed rail section and tool box. The bed itself was custom made for the truck from scratch. and the welds. fit. and finish are all top notch. This truck HAS NOT BEEN DETAILED by us! We wiped it off with Turtle Wax Quick Shine spray and vacuumed it out! Imagine how amazing it will look when you clean all the nooks and crannies and wipe it down with your favorite wax when you get it home! We want you to see the condition of the cars we buy. and NOT some photoshopped. painted up. and coyote ugly version of it! A 2” receiver hitch was built-in to allow for towing. and it was strong enough to tow my aluminum single car trailer with a 32 Ford Coupe on it to a car show! The bed was designed to haul a custom Harley. and has a wheel chock mount built-in. along with 4 tie-down points. The chock is included. and resides in the passenger side locking tool box with the jack. The driver side tool box holds the master battery switch. and anything else you want to put into its locking confines. You will see that the boxes are both dirty. and need wiped down when you detail it as well. We will tell the next owner where the custom hidden marine popper switches for the doors are. and they work PERFECTLY. and pop the doors WIDE open with just a touch! Fuel inlet is over the tool box. and is easy to access and fill. Custom cut wood was treated and sealed before installation on the bed floor. and it is held down with new polished stainless strapping and bolt. The custom bed side wood rails are removable. and are made of the same wood and finish to look seamless. Wood is in great condition. but has minor flaws from being used to put a motorcycle on. A billet rear tail lamp has built in light for the plate. LED lights round out the back of the truck and not only look good. but provide modern lighting for safety. A show chromed slat front gill keeps things clean up front. along with a drag race inspired push bar chrome bumper. Open the doors. and you are met with a full custom interior that has modern style with a nod to nostalgia. Dash is color matched to the exterior. and has billet aluminum pulls for the wipers. lights. and electric fan. They match the billet arms for the tilt steering and turn signals. which compliments the billet door pulls. window rollers. and arm rest trim on the truck. A FLAMING RIVER steering column was painted in body color. and mounted with a billet drop. with a GRANT 3 spoke billet steering wheel that is leather wrapped in complimentary colors and shows like new. Finally. a ball-milled billet dash is filled with Auto-Meter silver with black print gauges for SPEEDO/ODOMETER. FUEL. VOLT. TEMP. and OIL. They all appear to be calibrated and functioning as they should. but I have not checked each individual gauge for complete accuracy. A chrome rear view mirror hangs from the factory location and looks great. while providing a wide range of view behind you. A functional glove box makes use of the area not used by the A/C system to allow a modest storage area. A silver face JENSEN MSR3012 head unit is mounted in dash. and connected to four custom installed high-performance speakers in the cab. Two in the kick panels and two behind the seat. It lets your favorite music play clearly and loudly enough to be enjoyed over the fantastic rumble from the V8 up front! A custom fabricated center console goes from the dash down to the floor and back to the rear wall. providing a location for the VINTAGE AIR GENERATION II control panel. which lets you send heat. A/C. or defrost wherever you need it. An original GENNIE SHIFTER controls gear selection to the TURBO 350 Transmission. and does so with style. and NO RATTLES thanks to the buttonless design. Automotive grade full banded carpeting was installed front to back over layers of sound and heat insulation. and shows like new without any discoloration or damage. The full rear of the truck is upholstered and banded as well. along with a full headliner. pillar upholstery. and matching leather visors. It all looks like new because it is. Everything on the truck is just about 500 miles old! The seats and door panels have been custom finished in a combination of leatherette and upholstery and all of it is brand new. with only about 500 miles of seat time! No rips. tears. stains. or marks to be found. and the seats were installed to make sure that anyone from 5’3” to about 6’3” could be equally comfortable behind the wheel. All of the glass in the truck is new. All of the weather stripping is new. All of the seals are new. NEW NEW NEW. with only about 500 miles since completion!!!! The truck rolls on REAL HALIBRAND polished wheels with the spinner caps. and they are like new. and have no issues. marks. or damage. They are wrapped in 500 mile old BFGOODRICH Radial T/A RWL tires sized P235/70R15 up front. and P275/60R15 in the back. The frame on the truck was custom made from scratch and a donated Chevrolet S-10 chassis. Everything was stripped to bare metal. the fabrication work was done. and then everything was painted in gloss black before reassembly with all new hardware. brake. and suspension components. It rides and handles like a modern day truck. and is truly daily driver ready without changing a thing about it! Everything on the chassis can be sourced at your local NAPA Auto Parts store. and you can maintain it at home or at your local Chevy dealer if you are not mechanically competent. All of the brake and fuel lines are new. along with the relocated fuel tank. which was new as well. The underside of the truck is super clean and finished. and just shows some normal dust. water spots. and grime from being driven. If you take the time to get under it and wipe it down. it would be ready to throw mirrors under at the local car show!!! Remember. it HAS NOT BEEN DETAILED yet. so it will clean up to be the Belle of the Ball! The truck gets its motivation from a fresh GMPP 350HO motor rated at approx. 330hp and 360 ft lbs tq from the manufacturer. The engine has been dressed to the nines for car show purposes with polished intake. and gleaming chrome accessories and dress-up goodies everywhere you look. Alan Grove accessory mounts. a custom installed charging station to keep the battery ready for anything. and top notch components from the carb to the ignition all add up to a show quality engine bay. without sacrificing long-haul reliability. This truck is NOT over built. and can be driven anywhere without the need to constantly wrench on it to keep it going. It has MORE than enough power to squeal the tires if that is your cup of tea. but the reliability of the GMPP motor is hard to beat. It has been correctly broken-in up to the 500 mile point. and the fluids were just changed and everything tightened down to spec for the new owner. Yep. the engine bay needs detailed and cleaned up too. We wiped it down. but a little Sunday afternoon quality time with you. the truck. and your favorite polish will have it gleaming like the sun in no time! It is mated to a GM Turbo 350 transmission that is 500 miles fresh as well. and is a mildly built transmission with a light shift kit. It shifts smooth and easy through all the gears. and doesn’t jerk the necks of you or your passenger under normal acceleration. Fluids were serviced in it at the 500 mile mark as well. and it is ready to roll! Rear end is a GM unit. and has highway friendly gearing that lets you roll on the freeway at 70mph with no issues. The truck is equally friendly on the highway or in town. and with power steering and modern disc/drum brakes on it. makes you feel like you’re driving a new truck. There are no odd noises or rattles. no pulling or wander. and no known issues with the truck. Wiring is all new. and is from HAYWIRE. It is professionally laid out and loomed. and has room for adding accessories down the road. Everything on the truck works as it should. There are no “Ghost’s in the Machine” at this point in time! It handles wonderfully. has plenty of get up and go. and actually can be used to tow a trailer or haul a motorcycle. I know. because I have done BOTH with it in the past 30 days! If you take this truck and detail it. clean the underside off to rid it of dust and water spots. and go to a Good Guys or NSRA show. you will be a contender for some award. IT IS A REAL SHOW QUALITY BUILD and looks it!!! You can take this truck. throw a Harley in the bed. and put your 32 Ford on a trailer behind it and be the absolute HIT of any cruise night or car show! The best part is. that show can be next door. or in the NEXT STATE. because the truck is reliable enough to use as a long-hauler! In short. if you are looking for a really clean. well maintained. reliable. trustworthy. and capable classic truck that you can take wherever you want. this is probably the one for you. It comes with a huge stack of paperwork. receipts. and documentation from the prior owner. who had it built for his Powersports business. In the area? Come see it. If not. fly down here for a personal showing! I am willing to bet that the first person who comes here to see the truck in person will buy it. MILEAGE IS EXEMPT ON THE TITLE.
