1951 Ford F1 Pickup Truck
VIN: F1R1HM14023
Acquired in Wyoming approx. 11 years ago, this truck underwent an
extensive Frame-off restoration over a 6 year period.
Completed 5 years ago, this Classic Ford F1 is a real head
turner!
The body, taken down to the frame, was re-built from the ground up.
New suspension components and a new steering gear box was
installed along with springs, shocks, etc. The 4" drop
springs installed give this truck a great stance on the road and
makes for a much better handling truck. The 16" wheels were
replaced with 15" wheels including a matching spare.
The Flathead V-8 engine was completely rebuilt and upgraded with
Mercury 4" crank and Mercury pistons and engineered to Mercury
specs. The radiator is original and refurbished and the air
cleaner is the original oil-breather. Dual exhaust was
installed which not only complements the look of the truck, but
enhances the performance of this great running and driving Pickup.
The "three on the tree" manual transmission is mated to a
Borg-Warner overdrive making this truck a pleasure to drive.
The F1 was completely re-wired to original specs, with
the system being upgraded to 12 volts. The Truck has been
driven approximately 2000 miles since the restoration was
completed.
The body was professionally refurbished and painted very close to
the original color. The chrome and stainless on the exterior
of the truck is completely new and shines bright! Chrome
bumpers were installed giving the perfect touch to this truck.
All new glass as well as fender welts, window seals and
window trim was installed in the restoration. The wood bed is
new the the box to the truck is straight and clean. The
Tailgate is excellent.
The interior of the truck is a sight to behold. The dash was
completely re-furbished and all guages work. New upholstery
on the bench seat, new headliner and rear panels, new kick panels,
new floor covering, new sun visors, new door and window
handles and a new steering complete this truck. The
finishing touch is found behind the seat with the restored gas tank
and a factory tool-box on top of the tank! Sound insulation
was installed under the floor covering above the headliner and in
the doors.
This is one of the nicer 1951 Ford F1 Pickup trucks you will
see.
