What you see here is a very nice and original 1946 Ford F1 - One
Ton Pickup Truck; very rare. Unrestored - except for a refreshed
paint job - this 1946 Ford 1 ton has known only two owners to this
day. As the current owner states "Every nut and bolt in that truck
is what she came with" and "In them days we would spray em down
with oil underneath every year to keep em good"
This truck was purchased new by Mr. William Franchvillein
Antigonish of Nova Scotia for $1500 and was ordered as a 1 Ton with
the standard 1/2 ton pick up bed. Though the 1 ton is rare already
almost all of them were flat beds or utility trucks. Mr.
Franchville and his wife owned this truck for forty years. We are
told It was there pride and joy for all of that time until his
death when it was properly stored for the next 20 plus years. The
truck is still remembered by the older folk in the New Brunswick
town they lived in.
This 1946 F1 pickup was ordered as a V8 100 hp flathead with dual
water pumps and hydraulic steering, with 17" wheels, dual wipers
and locking steering wheel. Only the battery has been changed. The
front and rear bumpers have had a beautiful piece of Honduras
mahogany added to them as was the fashion then as well as the bed.
This truck has never seen anything but love and we offer it without
excuse! Though it was repainted many years ago it was done only to
freshen the look. This truck has never seen rust or repair. The
pride and passion that both owners have had for this truck is
evident. Mr. Franchville was not a wealthy man when he returned
from the war and spent all his savings on this truck which provided
him with great pleasure for the next 4 decades. To take possession
of this truck is to take on the responsibility of that same level
of care. Please see the listing for the truly beautiful 1939 Barrel
Back Mahogany boat that can come with the truck; it would actually
be a pity to split them up!
