[@arnoldgonzalez7377]

Awesome pickup truck.

[@thebikeofeli]

@@arnoldgonzalez7377 Thanks!

[@x_pogboy5082]

I love it so much! my dream project would be to restore one of these and get the engine swapped

[@thebikeofeli]

I’d love to swap the engine on it!

[@jimolson8424]

Your 59 is beautiful. I own 59 F-100 I swapped a stroked 351 Windsor with a AOD transmission in my truck. 393 comp cam ported Windsor senior heads Edelbrock intake & carburetor, headers, dual exhaust. Original 9 inch with 456 gear. It's hard to keep rear tires on it. I love old Fords forever. Thank you for sharing your truck.

[@thebikeofeli]

That’s exactly what I want to put in this!

[@michaelbertovich]

Awesome truck. Love the color

[@thebikeofeli]

Thank you!

Dad gave me his to drive in High School 76-77. It was this color but he painted it Candy Apple Red with white wheels covers. Fun days driving it. 3 on a tree and a CB radio. Wish I had it now for my son...

[@thebikeofeli]

Did you end up selling it?

[@huskyflylangley6053]

It's called Willow green. I built my dad a '57 F100 in this color with a 312 from a T-Bird in it. I like the Y's. Nice build you have there!

[@thebikeofeli]

Thanks so much!

[@claylyons6447]

That's a nice truck. My dad bought a 1960 F100 in about 1970. It had the 223 6 cylinder, 3 on the tree. Old trucks like this in original condition are getting hard to find.

[@thebikeofeli]

They definitely are. I’m posting it for sale soon if you know anyone that’s interested.

[@christopherlow5320]

thanks for sharing bro..

[@thebikeofeli]

My pleasure!

[@KevinRichards-my5oj]

Those are the third generation Ford F-series pickups & they were produced from 1957 through 1960.

[@marathon1972]

I'm here for the Harley Davidsons and giveaways (😮) mostly but I was curious about the truck story.

[@thebikeofeli]

I figured a few people were interested in it. There’s been a few comments.

[@scottlin777]

I was hoping for a start up and some tire slippage. Did it come with power steering as stock? I am currently on my way back to Ohio and riding through Colorado on I 70. What beautiful scenery. I was in the hammer lane when I saw the exit for Red Rock. I almost decided to turn around and check it out but didn't. I want to come back out sometime and see it and also ride the million dollar hwy

[@thebikeofeli]

It’s actually manual steering. I’m just so used to it now that it looks easy 😂. Let me know next time you’re in Colorado and I will take you around. Red rocks is essentially in my backyard. Million dollar highway is on my bucket list as well.

[@scottlin777]

Hey brother that sounds like a good plan. You can be my personal tour guide 😂 I just got home from my death valley trip. 5600 miles. Checking my mail and I got the joker shift peg. I will put it on tomorrow after I clean my bike up. Thanks again bro

[@thebikeofeli]

@@scottlin777 no problem at all! Hope you enjoyed the trip!

[@jamesherder3712]

Believe it or not I much rather have that truck than the Chevy you passed

[@thebikeofeli]

Me too! 😂

[@Kevin.W.]

Definitely a nice truck. There's been some changes under the hood though. That radiator is out of a car, truck radiators have a center inlet, and a thermostat housing that points to the center, rather than at an angle, as this one does. This motor could be out of a car. And is that a 2barrel or 4barrel on there?

[@thebikeofeli]

Thanks so much! It’s a 2 barrel on top.

[@geraldparker7008]

I'd like to find a good 292 or 312 for my '54 a239 KS a good motor but they don't under any parts hardly with #72,#92,or312's as you said not a performer good tho if you maintain ghem! nice truck and I like the color.

[@thebikeofeli]

Thanks so much!

[@kellyklingbeil5802]

Thanks so much for sharing, Beautiful truck. Where did you get the single leafs Bud?

[@thebikeofeli]

Thanks! I’m honestly not sure where the single leafs came from. Rides like it’s on cinder blocks, but looks good 😂

[@kellyklingbeil5802]

@@thebikeofeli Yeah... I've heard those aren't a great solution... Any bump steer?

[@thebikeofeli]

@@kellyklingbeil5802 nope, it tracks down the road pretty well thankfully. Original steering box, but it’s getting worn out.

[@kellyklingbeil5802]

@@thebikeofeli For me, I suspect I will end up putting in IFS. It's going to be doing lots of highway miles when it's built. Mine is a 60. In fact my very 1st vehicle purchased at 15 from my Pa. I still got him too... He's 90 now. I always wanted a big back window. Found one at Desert Valley Auto Parts in Arizona. It even has the rear glass. I'm retired now and am slowly gettin' er done. I put in power disc all around and power steering from CPP.

[@thebikeofeli]

@@kellyklingbeil5802 sounds amazing! What does it have under the hood?

[@bassflyer]

Nice truck!!! The hood is a 60, but the side emblem is a ‘59…

[@thebikeofeli]

Late model 59. 60 hood from the factory.

[@bobbyheffley4955]

Manual steering and brakes

April Green color

[@thebikeofeli]

I think the actual color is a “sea green”

[@jaketimer7440]

@@thebikeofeli Ford's 1959 factory green color's were April Green and Meadow green. This has to be April Green.

[@thebikeofeli]

@jaketimer7440 it’s not. I looked up the paint code and it’s sea green
