Vehicle Description
This rotisserie restored 1948 Ford F-1 custom pickup is finished in
bright red paint on arrow-straight bodywork. The chrome grille,
bumpers and accents add even more curb appeal. An oak and polished
stainless bed are out back, while the cream paint in the grille
recess, tailgate logo and pinstripes expertly tie the exterior to
the interior. Inside you'll find the factory seat covered in soft
cream and red with a matching cream headliner. Both colors
complement each other on the dash and steering wheel as well. Also
present are Dolphin gauges and an Auto Gauge tach, turn signals,
Ford factory heater, floor mats with embroidered logos and the big
shifter stick with a whimsical drag racer shift knob up top.
Additional pinstripes on the dash finish off this restrained cabin.
Under the hood is a real treat - a Flathead 221ci V8 engine with a
blower. The 24-bolt plant features a polished Weiand 142
supercharger and kit from Roadrunner Engineering, Hunt magneto,
Holley double-pumper carburetor, Edelbrock cylinder heads, Red's
ceramic-coated long tube headers and more. Backing the engine is a
5-speed manual transmission with custom ceramic-coated exhaust. The
bottom of the truck is painted with the same level of care as the
top. Chassis components, like the frame, are powder-coated a
durable and clean black. New steering and suspension parts join and
a front disc brake system for safety. With only 1,800 miles since
its restoration, this pickup rides on wide whitewalls, mounted on
steelies with trim rings and center caps.
