This little beauty belongs to my buddy Igor Pecuh of Ivans Auto Body.
His many years of practice working in Western Canada's finest bodyshop are very evident on this truck. She presently boasts a 302 powerplant but all that will change in the spring. She is going to be mounted on a '76 Lincoln frame where she will have all the good suspension stuff along with a tricked up 460 4V! Way to go Igor.

has restored this original family treasure to this gleaming little beauty. His father bought this truck brand new for his "Flying A Service Station" back in '59. It has the original 292 V8 with only 60K on her. It has been garage kept and still has the original seat covers and spare tire! We all just dream of finding them like this.
Great truck Doc!.............Great Story, Thanks.

I have greatly enjoyed your web site over the past few months. I am currently working on my own '59 Ford F-100 Truck. I found her neglected and broken down on a farm in Somerton, Az. After about a year of tinkering and rebuilding, I am nearly complete in bringing this piece of history back to life. This truck is nearly all original ( I am still looking for a tailgate )but the drive train is still intact. It has the 292 V-8 with stump pulling gears. My co-workers used to sing the "Fred Sanford" tune when I drove into our parking lot. Now they just stare at gawk at the transformation. The floor of the bed was severely dented, so I replaced the floor with 10 gauge Diamond plate steel. I would be honored if you would include this photo on your web site. ..
Pleasure is mine Sarg.....Yes Sir!

This is my 1959 F-100 Pickup. This was a farm truck until I acquired it. It has the original 292 and the only modifications at this time is a set of T-Bird finned valve covers....
Good Lookin Truck Rick........Thanks for Keeping her Alive!

Our neighbour Mike Miller of Jamestown North Dakota is the enthusiastic owner of this Proud Machine. This energetic farm-boy/student writes: I bought this two years ago when I was sixteen and just finished it. I did a ground off resto on it. I did everything from bumper to bumper on it except exhaust and re-upholstering the seat. The engine was rebuilt when I bought it. I had this pickup down to the front and rear axles. I also own a 1960 F250 4x4, three other '59s, a'58,a '57, and a 52 F3. I love the site.
Atta-Boy Mike, its a treat to see a young guy "Bring Back" one of these old workhorses to life. Keep up the Good Work!
