- THIS IS A 1953 FORD F100 THAT BELONGS TO A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. HE HAS BEEN BUILDING THIS TRUCK FOR AWHILE NOW. HE HAS IT JUST ABOUT READY TO DRIVE. HE IS DOWN TO SOME FINAL DETAILS. THE TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKES LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT. SO HE ASKED IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO FIX IT FOR HIM. I WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP. I REALLY LIKE THIS TRUCK AND HOPE TO HAVE ONE LIKE IT ONE DAY. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VIDEO.
Thank you I never understood until now
Hands down my favorite Ford truck body style. Your friend has one nice looking pickup J.C 🙂👍 Great job with the video and explanation on the lights. I hope you and Mrs. S have a great weekend. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩
The color reminds me of the old Ohio Bell Telephone trucks in the 50/60's.
Hello from the Netherlands.
what a beautiful Ford pickup truck .
thanks for the video JC.
Sincerely Hollandduck
that's an awesome cluster.
What a sharp ole truck
I learned from this video. I've always been the same way with friends there always older then me
Love this truck 🛻 sounds so good. Thank you for sharing this JC.
Love it, very unique color.
That's a sweet rig.
Man I love my power probe for electrical stuff like that
i started off with test leads as i was learning. its just my go to. i have a power probe. its in with my travel tools.
Nice ride!
Great fix
NICE F100
Yes sir it was very helpful and thank you for this video on that beautiful f100
Good job always looking for an older ford project truck 😅
Awesome!! Happy Easter to you and the family!!
Great video
Great truck! That should be an awesome driver.
You did a great job explaining how the turn signal set up on those work.
I agree, I always wondered how the whole flasher with the combined stop light system worked as in the UK we have separate lamps for each. Perfect explanation from JC. 😀👍👍🇬🇧
Learn something new every day 👍👍
Awesome video! This is the kind of wiring work I do everyday. Much rather work those older ones over anything new.
Nice truck. He took it to the right man for the job. Not to mention your Fantastic bride. Thanks for sharing. Awesome video.
just think about it no computer and the brake lights and turn signals work simple hardly ever gives any trouble but car mfg can't leave well enough alone
Good looking 🛻
And the rest of the world has amber turn signals on a separate circuit. So much easier! I current wiring a 1948 Dodge half ton (California) converting to 12v…. I am keeping the old wiring in place for originality however putting an alternator on it…
not really. most vehicles have them combined.
LMAO I agree with your sentiment on not driving it but it's sure sweet! I think if there was 5psi more air in the tires the roof would have hit your garage door opening 🤣
JC thank you for sharing your knowledge and by the way you look good in that truck brother.
Great truck and video on fixing the turn signals and brake lights. Should be a very nice daily driver. Thanks for sharing Mr & Mrs J.C.Smith.
Awesome my father had a 56 I’d like to get one:)
I wonder if your dad's had the big back window?
That is the most desirable cab Ford of this era.
@@haroldphipps3457 nope. It was the small one, it was a 3 on the tree with a small ci ohv small block. I was young so I don’t remember much, it had cool door lock key holes I notice this one doesn’t tho. And the fuel cap was higher up, tank was behind the seat.
I love old anything 🤩but I don’t want a trailer queen. I want a daily driver
I honestly believe you need your own toy as its a liberating thing. And one thing easily noticeable is the space to work under the hood, won't find that on anything past maybe early eighties
I did same thing on a 54 Ford over fifty years ago
beautiful truck
Great job. 👍 nice truck
Old school cool! Thank U J.C.&Mrs.for explaining it to us as U do so well & Happy Easter.
What a beautiful F100 J.C. They just don’t make them like they use to. I wanted to see it drive too! Great job tracing wires and doin it the right way. You’ve shown that wiring is an invaluable skill to know. I’m sure the owner was very pleased when he drove off.👍
I own a 64 f-100. This has been a huge help. Your buddy has one sweet ride!
What a sweet old Ford! I really like that the repower is a carburetor 302, as in he kept it all Ford. It drives me crazy seeing any old Ford truck with GM trash powering it.
Anyway she's a real beauty, just needed a little help in the electrical and wiring area
That is a Beautiful truck. You did a fantastic job.
hello jc and mrs smith its is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks and happy easter thanks friends randy
Very nice truck! The Prius power steering is an interesting idea wonder if we could adapt it to a ford 2n tractor.
Beautiful truck. It looks like the electric power steering was adapted to the original column. Can you explain how that was done?
Not generally a fan on of restomods but this is beatifically done and he can drive it anywhere,
Same here, most of the time. It can very easily strip the nostalgia and all that's left is just a metal box with no soul. That truck was tastefully modified/upgraded, but not overdone. Just enough to add reliability and functionality with a little bit of creature comfort (and safety) sprinkled on top. What I like most is that it actually gets driven!
I've been thinking about putting electric power steering on my '41 Farmall H!
Nice job JC . Very nice truck also
Wassup
Great truck and very informative as always
i have the dolphin gauges in my 71 c10 with ls swapd not the greastest but they where affordble
Beautiful truck! If I'm not mistaken, '53 was the first year of the F100. '48-'52 was the F1,F2, F3 etc.
probably right my 48 is an f6
Man U look awesome in that truk
Nice looking truck!
😎👍
love it !
May I post a link to my late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban? I'm working on getting it back to daily driver condition.
Turn signals weren't standard or required until 1956.
Does he still have the flathead?
yes. i have 2 flatheads here too.
If you made a video on the power steering install please put up a link.
I didnt install it. the owner did. i just advised on how to do the wiring.
Wouldn’t it be easier to go to amber turn singles?
First! And that's definitely of no importance at all! I'm only writing it to annoy the notorious First writers
It really is not that hard. If you struggle you can always switch to separate turn and brake bulbs in the back.
it isnt hard if you understand. if you dont, it can seem very complicated.
