Saw this on Yahoo auctions, and thought you might love it:
http://auctions.yahoo.com/i:1959 FORD F-100 PANEL TRUCK - VERY RARE!!:239548857

The 6 cylinder 223 runs good, it had the head rebuilt a year ago - The 3 speed on the column shifts good - The windsheild is in perfect shape, but for a restoration job all the flat glass needs replacing - There are a few minor rust cancer spots in the door step panels and one outer fender well, the rest of the body is rust free to very little surface rust and rock solid, including the roof and hood - There are more photos available upon request - This truck bluebooks out at about $7,000 in its present condition, completely restored it has the potential to reach $17,000 - Any questions please email me at [email protected] or call me at 541-290-2352, I will consider all offers

I heard on another post how you so wanted your old one back...might be a chance here!

i want it......

Not too shabby for a 59. Buy it now is $2750. Where is he?

The refrigerator years (57-60) are not as high priced. They are also a little harder to find parts for. I prefer the 57 (single headlights), but that is me. LOL

That's an orphan that needs a home. If I didn't have my phone truck project underway I might consider bringing that sweety home. Of course Mrs. F100 would probably make me live in it.

I had a 60 panel, with 390 and 4-speed from behind a mustang 428. Started out with an automatic, but the guy with the stang wanted an auto...so he's supposedly stop smoking his tires everywhere he went. I think I have pics of it posted on the "other" site. If not, I'll have to see if I can find it and put it on photobucket. It was actually pretty cherry compared to that one...but then again... this was a few years back too. Sigh.. the 70's. I wonder where it is now?

That seems like a lotta money fer that lil puppy. But thanks for bringing back the memories. And the OLD one I want back, is the 55 in my avatar.

Years ago I had a neighbor (when I lived in the High Desert of California) who drove one of these (don't remember the year) that was OLIVE DRAB and had a huge RED CROSS on the side...

Going for the M.A.S.H. look was he?

This one came from Korea before Hawkeye...

 

[Brian_B]

I am not sure what years the korean war was, but if you watch those old shows later model vehicles show up in them. There is about a 53 ford bus in one episode.

Possible I suppose. It just looked way out of place with all the older ones running around over there. It would have been new then and it looked old and beat up.

 

[mrfixit]

I realize that.... I was being sarcastic. It was a good show, though, even with the discrepencies.

 

[Brian_B]

All shows have them. Remember that dumb show "fall guy"? They were chasing a really sharp ford step side one time (red/white). As it went over the cliff...the tailgate said: "CHEVROLET" It was a cheby step side painted the same colors.

 

[mrfixit]

I call that TURNCOAT, lol

 

[Brian_B]

At least we know they didn't smash that nice ford.

Notice: No fords were harmed in the making of this eposide.
