The Appeal

Introduced in 1957, the third generation of the Ford F-Series was undeniably one of the most successful pick-ups of the era. From its attractive angular profile to its rock-solid powerplants, it was a do-anything pickup that still felt performance led - perhaps even a little rebellious - and practical in equal measure.

This particular example has been fully restored and picked out in a remarkably attractive livery of Metallic Lime Gold, which suits the truck's character to a tee. The engine has been fully refurbished, and is still rumbling away with the imposing character it would have rolling off of the production line.

Updated with air conditioning, an adjustable steering column, power steering and carrying a new front stabiliser, this truck is now more than capable of being a classic daily driver with a difference. After all, that big ol' pick up bed is a great opportunity. Kept in the same ownership for a decade, and clearly cherished, we're sure this stylish pickup is going to charm even the most discerning enthusiast.
