Car History
The first-generation of the Ford F-Series is a series of trucks
that was produced by Ford in North America from 1947 to 1952. The
introduction of the F-Series marked the divergence of Ford car and
truck design, developing a chassis intended specifically for truck
use.
It didn't take long for American Hot Rodders long to start
modifying these stock trucks into Street Rods. We have a 1947 Ford
Custom Pickup here at Adventure Classics that was professionally
built as a street rod and it is a one-of-a-kind piece of rolling
art.
Engine & Drivetrain
The original Flathead in our truck is long gone and in its place is
now a more potent 383 cubic inch small block Chevy stroker V-8
Engine producing over 400 horsepower. It has an intimidating look
and sound as the engine's spent gases are routed through custom
Powder Coated Headers and a Big Tubing Exhaust system.
Other performance additions on the rod include an aluminum radiator
ensures cool running, a 700R4 Automatic Transmission sends the
power to a Camaro rear end housing with a 12 Bolt Posi 3.23
Ratio.
The 47 was built on a Camaro subframe with a Camaro rear end, Air
Conditioning, Power Steering, Four Wheel Disc Brakes, Electric Fan,
Electric Fan, Electronic Ignition, polished valve covers and air
cleaner, and more.
Interior
The interior features plush bucket seats in tan upholstery,
matching door panels, painted and restored dash with performance
gauges, a three-spoke black/polished steering wheel, a Lokar
Shifter, with everything flowing together very nicely into a
well-integrated overall package.
Exterior
The laser-straight body is finished in deep slick Black paint on
our Ford has many body tweaks including a 3" body Chop, hidden
hinges, a fabricated rear roll pan, custom aluminum and wood bed
flooring.
It has a great ride with the 5-spoke polished 20" & 18" custom
Wheels with performance black wall tires. The chrome trim, bumpers,
step plates, mirrors, and all other aspects looks superb.
Conclusion
As stated earlier, we have a 1947 Ford Custom Pickup here at
Adventure Classics that will give you so much comfort. Power, and
reliability in this professionally built street rod.
