In the world of pickup trucks, the Ford F-100 is one of the heavy hitters. Born as an evolution of the F-1 in 1953 and eventually replaced by the all-mighty F-150 in the first years of the 1980s, the half-ton machine is still a regular of custom shops across America.
Most of the time, these garages go for the classic approach, if we can call it that, and despite performing extreme changes to the body or engine, the F-100s usually remain what they’ve always been: trucks with an open bed at the rear. But not the one here, based on an F-100 panel van the likes of which we don't come across that often.

This build is fresh on the market, so not all the details about it are out yet. The official designation for the build on Garage Kept Motors, where it currently sells, is 1955 Ford F-100 wagon, but for obvious reasons (minor things like the lack of seats in the back and the presence of back doors), it clearly is part of the van territory.

Be that as it may, there is an F-100 such as this one out there. It’s a relatively recent build, showing just 9,200 miles (14,800 km) on the odometer and coming to the world with a black body slapped over a bright red interior. The black body of the truck sports flames licking the metal from the front to the back, as if this was the 1990s all over again.

As said, the truck is a fresh listing, so not all things about it are yet known. We understand it comes powered by a 350ci (5.7-liter) engine, but as far as everything else goes, we’ll have to come back on this as soon as more details are made available.

One important aspect of the F-100 is its price, and that is no secret: the dealer is asking $32,900 for it.
