Your '63 has a 57/58/59 fleetside bed. The engine block looks freshly rebuilt, but they painted it blue. Its not a holley 1904. I dont know what that is. Here is a Holley 1904 on my '55 Ford 223

the holley was extra, the carb on there nw is a late fifties carb, from what im told. i tried the holley, but it just did not run as good as the one on there now. your truck is a bunch cleaner than mine, do you have any more pictures of it?

It's not a truck. Its a '55 Ford Courier station wagon (the el-cheapo stripped down Mainline sedan delivery version). I posted some pics in the "EYE CANDY" forum on this site a few weeks ago. Just look for my nick. The photos are not the clearest in the world. I have taken a lot more photos, but dont have em posted yet.

Sweet Pick-Up. It looks a lot nicer than the '59 my neighbor wants to sell. His roof seams have started to come undone!
Are you going to keep it as a "beater" or fix it up? Here's an example of an extreme work over-http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-6/1023972/58ford1.JPG

probably wont do too extreme a workover. its staying solid axle, and im keepin the 223. adding a dual master cylinder, and shoulder belts. im toying with the idea of fitting it with a remote oil filter, then using a huge oil filter to increase the oil capacity...

The bed is correct for your truck. Even though this bed doesn't match, it was used on the non unibody styleside trucks thru '63.

That there is an Autolite 1100 carb, from the late 60's, not 50's. Pretty good carb imho, and yours looks nice and clean.bobenhotep":1jgo4jxs said:
