Robert Turner’s 1960 Ford F100 just happens to be for sale!
My 1960 Ford F100 that I call Fridge has a 223 inline six with “three on the tree.” Her engine was professionally rebuilt by RPM engines in Milton a few years ago, and has been very reliable. It is my summer daily driver. Whenever I need a mood enhancer I just take it out and count the smiles and “thumbs up” I receive throughout the day. There’s nothing better to raise your spirits! You may have seen it around northwestern Vermont as I drive between Fairfax and Swanton frequently.
As many of you know, driving a truck like this takes you back in time to feel what it is like to drive a “real” vehicle: no power steering or power brakes, no power windows or cruise control, and that’s just fine. Open the side windows and you’d never miss air conditioning with that fifty mile an hour wind on your face. For modern safety reasons I added a dual chamber brake master cylinder and proportioning valve with disk brakes up front, and new drums in the back, and safety belts, and a brighter (removable) third brake light. She has earned a few love taps over the years, which makes it easier to take to Home Depot, but has nice paint overall and is a joy to drive.
But it’s time to find my Fridge a new home. Time for me to get something that I can drive year round. So, let me know if you’d be interested.
