Vehicle Description
Prior to the War, trucks were very much a customized idea mostly
built by carriage companies outside of the manufacturers including
suspension, length of frame and more to get these vehicles capable
enough for the job at hand. The trucks that did come from the
factory from Ford were built off the same chassis that their cars
were built on which restricted the amount of space to work with as
well as the capability. The first-generation Ford F-Series was
introduced in 1948 and was the first post-war truck design that
Ford had created. This was very unique for the company as they
broke off from using their car chassis and opted for a dedicated
truck platform. This proved to be a very good move for the company
as it went on to be more capable and gave many options to broaden
the utilitarian purpose of their vehicle. From the F-1 all the way
to their F-8, these trucks came with different engine choices, bed
lengths, weight ratings and purposes such as a parcel truck or
school bus.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1950 F-1 pickup for your
consideration. The truck came from the dry climate of Arizona and
remains incredibly solid. The truck does have few bumps and
bruises, but it pulls of the nostalgic look very well! It is
powered by a 350 v8 paired with 350 auto transmission. According to
the owner the engine and transmission have been rebuilt. All the
engine accessories were replaced at the time of rebuild such as the
alternator, starter, water pump, fuel pump and it was given a new
Edelbrock 600CFM carburetor. At the time of restoration, the truck
was given all new shocks, new brake lines, new Wilwood power brake
setup, new wheel cylinders, new brake drums and components, new 12
volt "EZ Wiring" harness and more. The truck was lowered in the
front by a 3" drop axle from Speedway Motors and the rear end was
flipped on top of springs and a new balanced driveshaft was
installed. The truck has new front and rear windows, gas tank
exhaust and more. The truck rides on newer Coker white wall tires.
This truck runs and handles very well and is a blast to cruise
around in.
