Built with simplicity in mind, this 1950 Ford F-1 is equipped with
only the essentials but did not have any expense spared during the
process. The heart and soul of this pick up is a completely rebuilt
1950 Ford flathead V8 bored .60 over and roughly 1,500 miles since
completion. The lope at idle provided by the Comp Cams Thumpr
(#41-600-7) is the only music you will need on your ride and is
very distinguishable sound. Also equipped is Offenhauser pistons,
Mahle rings, Isky valve spring, and Ford rods, crank and block.
Hooked up behind the flathead is a 3-speed manual transmission
rebuilt at the same time as the engine and shifts smoothly between
gears. The cab of the truck is still the 1950 Ford F-1 but has been
heavily modified to give it the much sleeker look it has now. 6" of
the top were sliced out to bring the profile lower and was moved
18" further back on the frame allowing it to run without fenders.
The hood was custom built for this truck and transitions smoothly
into the 1943 International fire truck grill. The bed was also
built specially for this truck and matches the rest of the build
very well. Slide inside the truck and you will wonder if it is even
functional with how simplistic it is. The metal dash is smooth with
only three gauges; Water temp left side, Oil pressure, Water temp
right side. The custom bench seat sits low in the cab giving plenty
of head room for all and a very comfortable driving position. All
of the electronic connections have been mounted in a box behind the
seat keeping the cab uncluttered and everything easily accessible.
One cruise in this truck and you will be hooked! The ride is smooth
and comfortable, the exhaust note will give you chills and
surprisingly is not overbearingly loud and will turn heads
everywhere it goes. If you are looking for a completely rebuilt and
restored truck that is going to stick out from the rest of the
crowd this truck is a great choice! This vehicle is located in our
