For Sale: 1951 Ford F1 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

1951 Ford F1 Custom Pickup It goes without saying that trucks today are not what they used to be. With the advent of the Ford Lightning, Chevy SS, and Dodge Rumble Bee they aren't just for hauling anymore. That being said street rodders have known that for years. Take a pickup from bygone days mount it on a newer chassis with V8 power, automatic transmission, 4 wheel disc brakes, and a modern suspension and voila! The modern muscle truck appears before your very eyes. How'd you like to match the biggest big block Ford ever made in terms of displacement, and have it in a small block package that can easily fit into a Mustang, Cobra or most any FoMoCo vehicle. It's all possible because of World's new Man O' War� block, which can accommodate the 4.155" x 4.250" bore/stroke combination that produces a whopping 460 cubic inches. Conservatively rated at 600 horsepower, 575 foot pounds of torque, this big-inch engine utilizes a high flowing single plane intake manifold, 1050 cfm "Dominator" carburetor and a roller lifter cam for more aggressive valve action. All that, and a nominal compression ratio of 10.0:1 so you can run on ordinary pump gas. Needless to say, this kind of major league power translates into one awesome ride! These engines are individually assembled by skilled technicians using only the finest aftermarket components. Each engine is carefully broken-in, then run on the dyno to certify that performance levels meet or exceed published specifications. And as a testimony to their durability. You won't find anything like this from the "blue oval" boys! This pickup has that engine and this fine example is a testament to that skill and technology. Using a rack and pinion FAT MAN front suspension and Ididit chrome tilt steering column this V8 is mated to a newer overdrive automatic transmission. This fine example from a Washington state collector gives all the attributes of a fast, fun to drive and fun to look at, pick up without having to do the heavy lifting to get it there. Come on and enjoy this hauler today for dimes on the dollar.
