Vehicle Description
Here's the truck that defines "Old School." This 1950 Ford F-1 has
a timeless style, legendary flathead V8 power, and the kind of
gloss that makes you instantly nostalgic. And because this has been
expertly restored, you truly get to drive your memories.
You know you want this truck. It has those original good looks that
can instantly transport you to another time. But just like your
best memories, this one seems to have a little better presentation
then they did back then. After all, the Merlot Jewel paint has more
depth than they could get in 1950 - but this extra gloss just
instantly reminds you of the optimistic post-war period. The
enhanced paint needs the best brightwork to go with it. So the
bumpers are true chrome kings, and all the trim is complete and
mirror-like. Even the real wood in the truck bed and along the
sides have that high quality gloss that comes from a solid
investment. It's all finished off with two-piece bright wheel
covers that frame the color-matched steelies and iconic whitewall
tires.
Inside, this one continues to provide the right period-correct
feeling mixed with the right subtle comfort upgrades. For example,
the tan bench seat is now covered in supple leather. And while most
of these came with rubber floors, you have the comfort and
insulation that comes from well-trimmed carpeting. The
exterior-matching deep maroon looks great as it returns on the
doors and dash, and there's a touch of brightwork seen throughout.
But overall, you get that great old school pickup feeling where the
heater is your only workman option and three-spoke wheel is grooved
for the perfect grip.
The 239 cubic-inch Ford flathead V8 looks fantastic as the bold
blue components radiate from within the dark engine bay. You can
tell they focused on this V8 during restoration, and it was even
converted to 12-volts and an alternator during its rebuild. But
these upgrades never get in the way of the vintage charm. After
all, people instantly recognize pieces like the parallel radiator
pipes, tall carburetor (recently rebuilt), and the big oil bath air
topper. And you'll even get to tell them about how this is still
wearing the period-correct head casting. The flathead fires right
up, and it instantly gives off an industrial symphony of
simplicity. The dual exhaust gives a hint of growl, and you control
it all with the rebuilt three-speed manual transmission.
This restored Ford does a terrific job of delivering all the
feelings of shiny and faithful nostalgia. So if you're ready for
the best memories tomorrow, you need to call us today!
