Vehicle Description
1951 Ford F-1 Panel Truck custom for sale! Motorcar Classics is
pleased to present this awesome 1951 Ford F-1 Panel Truck Custom
featured in Cranberry Pearl paint with tan and red interior. This
truck was professionally built to be a competitive custom show car,
or an outrageous street cruiser. The body has been chopped 4 and
the rear doors have been sectioned 2 and chopped 2. The truck is
fitted with a new 383CI block with 4-bolt main, H-beam rods, steel
crank, double roller timing chain, and more. The engine is topped
by a polished B amp;M Mega blower fitted with two 650 CFM blower
carbs. Power output is rated at 665HP! Additional engine
compartment features include polished billet valve covers, polished
aluminum radiator with electric fan and controller, and MSD
ignition. The engine is mated to a race-spec Turbo-Hydramatic 400
with reverse manual valve body. The new driveshaft is coupled to a
Currie shortened 9 rear with Moser posi and 4:56 gears. You will
find Wilwood racing disc brakes at all four corners, with
custom-weld 17 forged front rims and deep dish rear rims. The truck
is lowered 6 and has 10-way adjustable coil overs. The truck has
been tubbed to fit 21 wide rear tires. Styling touches include
stainless steel bumpers and Lucas tri-bar headlamps. The motor is
currently de-tuned to be tractable on the street, but you can swap
the upper and lower blower pulleys for the maximum boost and power.
The interior features a pair of bucket seats, a wood rim steering
wheel on a tilt column, and all new vintage-style gauges. The cargo
compartment is fully finished with an upholstered headliner,
polished wood floor, and polished wood slats lining the inner
sidewalls. You will notice that the battery was located to a
position on the floor forward of the shifter with the intention
that it be concealed by a loor console. We are told that parts are
included to complete the console, and that additional parts include
a power steering conversion kit. Our shop can personalize any of
these details to suit the desires of the next owner. We are told
that the truck has over $110,000 invested in the build. This Ford
F-1 would be ideally suited as a promotional vehicle for an
enthusiast with a business, which might offer a tax benefit, as it
has plenty of room for lettering or custom graphics. This Ford is a
great fun truck. Are you ready to own the fastest custom hauler in
town?
