This is a restored to better than original condition testimonial to the way things used to be circa 1953.
Current owner has had it since 1993 when it had 43K miles upon his acquisition of it. Have pictures of the restoration process upon request. Everything works, including the original factory heater. Engine compartment is gorgeous. No issues vehicle, just drive and enjoy all the passersby attention.The front grille was replaced during the restoration with the V8 version, this is the only incorrect item on the vehicle.

It drives as good as it looks-- and if you are looking for a jewel of an antique Ford truck-- your search is over.
