I am listing the following 1957 Ford F100 SB/style-side (AKA Fleet side) truck for sale. It has the big back window (more valuable) and it is the first year this style was made. The truck was produced in 1957 in Long Beach California according to the Ford Co. The color is starmist blue (paint in good shape), the motor is a V8 (312) engine with the stock T-89 4 speed (granny) transmission. The bench seat is two tone and in good shape. The headliner is like new. The carpet is newer and the Ford floor mats are new. The bumpers and emblems have all been powder coated a dark grey with metallic in it. The tranny was serviced and the rear tranny seal was replaced due to it leaking (I hate leaks). All the gauges work except the original temp gauge and I added an after market one under the dash. I put in a ken-wood am/fm/cd player and there are 3 speakers in the cab. The chrome rims are smoothies or baby moons and the tires are Cooper tires. There are about 400 miles on the rims/tires. The fronts are 8 inch and the rear 10 inch. I have a spare rim and tires for the front and back to match. The u-joints were both replaced when the tranny was serviced (about 3-4 months ago?). The rear end fluid was drained and changed, the truck was all lubed underneath, 4 new shock, front end springs re-done. The ER brake was fixed and I had a flow master exhaust system put on. The exhaust was bent to follow the frame of the truck and not just hanging down and straight back. The exhaust sounds awesome (Bob did a hell of a job on the exhaust). The clutch and throwout bearing were done about 2 months ago along with the fly wheel being resurfaced. The motor runs great and has about 25000 miles on it according to the guy I bought it from. We added the following to the motor: new holly 4B carb, wires/plugs/cap and rotor/ water pump/ fuel pump/ new fan, new belt, new hoses, new interstate battery, grant steering wheel, new radiator cap, new thermostat, has two fuel tanks (one behind the seat and one underneath the bed of the truck behind the rear bumper, sprayed in bed liner, new clutch , flywheel and throw out bearing, etc. This is a very nice truck and I would give it a 9 out of 10 for a daily driver. It is not a show truck, but an awesome looking daily driver.
