Vehicle Description
The 1946 Ford pickup will always get respect in the classic truck
market because this is some of the first steel used for civilian
production after WWII. And this one lets you show it off easier
with upgrades to the V8 power, suspension, and interior. So it's
the true classic with a comfy style.
The design of this pickup was done before WWII, but since that
debuted in 1942, hardly anyone got to see it. So these trucks have
a uniquely short run considering the F-Series would be in
production before the end of 1947. And the post-war period means
you could now get added flair with details like the brightwork trim
grille and hood. Not only does this one have history, but it's also
upgraded to be fun in modern times. There are cruiser-ready
features like a custom rear pan with a frenched license plate,
bright dual exhaust tips, hot rod style side mirrors, and plenty of
attractive real wood in the truck bed where you now also have the
fuel filler cap (signaling the tank is no longer in the cab.) And
we especially love the color-matched wire wheels that are a symbol
of a sporty car no matter if it's the 1940s or 2022. You may want
to update/personalize the finish or other details later down the
road, but from day one, you'll love how this unique truck is a true
driver.
The interior is distinct and attractive. After all, those who know
1940s pickups instantly recognize that the contoured and soft seat
is far nicer than the flat bench you got from the factory. Diamond
pattern seat inserts, matching door panels, and plush carpeting
make it all inviting. Just like the exterior, there is room for
upgrades. So you may want to update the gauges, add a stereo to the
glovebox, or another personalization. But when you grip the Lecarra
sports steering wheel, adjust the tilt column, and look out through
the two-piece windshield, you get a unique feeling of classic style
with modern driving convenience.
While you could get the flathead V8 in 1946, this now has a younger
Ford legend in the engine bay. This is the 351 cubic-inch small
block. It also has the right upgrades like a Weber four-barrel
carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, polished Edelbrock valve covers,
and dual exhaust. It's a tidy motor that fires up readily with a
feeling like this truck wants to hit the road. And that's part of
its solid cruiser attitude. So is the upgraded independent front
suspension, three-speed automatic transmission, and power brakes
with front discs.
This is a cool and significant pickup that has upgraded to be a
good driver today. Don't let something so distinct slip away, call
today!!!
