Vehicle Description
1948 Ford F1 Pickup
If a classic Ford pickup is what you are after then this is one to
take a long close look at because opportunities like this don't
come up very often. We get that there are other Ford F1s out there
for sale but this 48 pickup just had it's full restoration
completed only 9 miles ago. It doesn't get much fresher than that!
Possibly the biggest selling point is this pickup is being offered
up for only $34,750.00. There is no way you could go out, find a
similar truck and then have it restored for those dollars. This is
a chance to get a brand new, never shown, freshly built truck for a
fraction of what it should cost you. This is no amateur build
either because when it comes to these old pickups, this guy knows
what he is doing. It was built with the perfect combination of
vintage style with modern comforts to make it not only look great
but be road worthy and ready to take anywhere. The body on the
truck is very straight and entirely rust free. The Flame Red paint
really pops out in the sun and is perfectly accented by the White
front headlight/grill section and wheels. All of the chrome and
stainless is new and shines beautifully. A custom rear roll pan was
added and looks like it should have been a factory feature because
it fits with the body lines so perfectly. One of the coolest
features on these old trucks is the bed and this one was very well
done. It has all new polished stainless bed strips and hand
selected Oakwood slats that just look gorgeous next to each other.
The steel wheels have been powder coated which looks great and will
last you a very long time because of how well powder coated holds
up.
Under the hood of this pickup is a 351 Windsor motor which should
put a smile on all those Ford fan's faces. We get that the classic
350 is a great fit for many rebuilt classics but it always pleases
us to see a rebuilt Ford done the right way with a Ford motor. The
engine compartment is all show ready with the inner fenders and
firewall painted the same gloss Red as the exterior. A lot of the
motor components are painted Red creating a beautiful mix of Red
and chrome. It is topped off with a reproduction Cadillac air
cleaner for a slight custom touch. Keeping with a clean look a
custom battery box was made to hide the battery which is often a
eyesore next to nice motors like this. Paired with the engine is a
C4 automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and transfers power
back to the 9 inch Ford 2:73 rear end. When we say frame off
restoration we mean it because every component of this truck has
been gone through. The suspension has been upgraded with TCI
components up front and Chassis Engineering leaf springs in rear.
The truck was also upgraded with front disc brakes which are power
assist, power steering, and electric wipers. It has dual exhaust
with chrome tips that exit right under the custom roll pan and they
deliver a great sound.
The interior is finished out in a Taupe ultra leather and the
upholstery work was all done by Sean Cook. If you have been in the
classic car world long there is no doubt Sean Cook has come up and
it is a name associated with some of the highest quality interiors
out there. The bench seat is very comfortable and fitted with lap
belts done in a matching color. The dash is painted to match the
exterior and utilizes a custom built drop section which houses the
AM/FM/CD player and vents for the Old Air AC/Heat system. Classic
Instruments Vintage gauges sit in front of the driver along with a
custom 1940 15 inch steering wheel that tops off the Ididit
column.
Take advantage of this builders hard work by buying the truck
complete instead of dealing with the hassle of getting one built
yourself. You won't have much luck finding one this nice for these
dollars so check it out while it is still available.
It won't be around long for only $34,750.00!
