1963 Ford Other Pickups

I have owned this truck since 2004. have spent a lot of money and time rebuilding it -- have worked on it for 12 years.
I call it the "STREETSWEEPER".
The truck started out in 1963 as a US Air Force flight line vehicle and was later decommissioned and sold. The GSA identification plate is mounted on the Line X covered dash.

Adjustable coil overs mounted on all 4 corners. Has Panhard bar & wishbone rear axle locater. plus wheelie bars. The 454/turbo 400 is mounted in the bed for better weight distribution.

Interior of the cab is coated in Line X type material. and the inside of the bed. aluminum tubs and aluminum floor of the bed are coated as well. Cloth bucket seats with Ford seat belts and padded door panels have been installed.
