AutoHunter Spotlight: 1954 Ford F-100 Panel Truck

Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this V8-powered 1954 Ford F-100 panel truck featuring several modifications and updates. It is powered by a Ford Y-block backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a heater, electric power steering, 12-volt electrical system conversion, and updated dual-circuit power brake system with front discs. Finished in yellow over a beige cloth interior, this F-100 comes with a clear title in the seller’s name.

Along with other updates that were completed in 2019, the reportedly rust-free body has been finished in matte yellow. Features include polished, ribbed aluminum bumpers, body-color grille, dual side-view mirrors, custom accent logos, and dual rear cargo doors.

A set of body-color 15-inch steel wheels with chrome dog dish hubcaps is wrapped in 235/75 Cooper Trendsetter SE radial tires.

The cabin is furnished with tan cloth front bucket seats surrounded by body-color metal trim. Features include an electric power steering system, floor-mounted manual transmission shifter, heater, black rubber floor mat, and rear-mounted wood slat cargo divider.

The instrument panel consists of a 90-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The odometer reads 85,517 miles, which the seller reports to be accurate.

The original inline-six has been replaced with Ford Y-block V8, which is backed by a four-speed manual transmission. The electrical system has been converted to a 12-volt setup.

This F-100 was factory-equipped with a solid I-beam front axle and solid rear-drive axle. Braking is provided by an updated dual-circuit CPP (Classic Performance Products) power brake system with front discs and rear drums.

The VIN is consistent with a 1954 F-100 equipped with a six. Videos showing the exterior, interior, and engine bay, as well as the running engine, can be seen on the auction page.
