Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is proud to present this stunning 1952 Ford F1
Truck! This truck is a wonderful example of the final year of the
Ford Bonus-Built trucks - the first generation of the F-series. In
1951-2 the F1's came with a very unique aero-dynamic grill that
really sets these trucks apart from the crowd and makes them highly
sought-after. These grills were factory painted either Ivory or
Argent Grey. This particular F1 sports a grill done in Argent - a
great contrast to the Black Cherry Metallic paint job. Above the
grill on the hood is a chrome V8 emblem seated on an Argent base
that really adds to the fantastic look. The curved chrome front
bumper, "Ford" lettering, headlight bezels, and turn signal
indicators are all in excellent, gleaming condition. The sides of
the hood are adorned with ornate chrome trim pieces that feature
the "F1" logo. Bright-work continues down the sides with dual side
mirrors, door edge gaurds, a chrome gas cap, and Ford-script step
plates on the running boards. Good looks keep coming in the cargo
bed which features a medium-brown bed floor with chrome dividers,
chain pin gate closures, and Ford logo tailgate. Rounding out the
rear are chrome flared Ford exhaust tips and a nice chrome bumper.
This beautiful truck rests upon steel wheels with full moon caps
wrapped in Firestone FR380 tires - an excellent choice to complete
the exterior package. Under the hood rests a 302 V-8 topped with an
Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. Dressing up the engine bay are
chrome Ford Racing valve covers and air cleaner. There is an
auxilliary fuel pump to help get gas from back to front a little
quicker. Brakes are power, with a dual resevoir and drums on all
four corners. Steering is manual. When you open the driver's door
you'll be treated to a nicely done interior with a black vinyl
bench seat and black carpet with floormats. The cabs on the 51-52
F1's were improved over their predecessors with a large rear window
and were advertised as the "Five Star Cab". Though rather spartan
by today's standards, these cabs were top of the line in their
time. This cab has OEM style black panel-board covering on the
ceiling, rear cab walls, and front kick-panels. The dash is painted
body-color with the exception of a section that includes the AM/FM
Retrosound stereo, speaker, ashtray, and glovebox, which is painted
Argent grey and seperated by a chrome trim piece. In the glovebox
you'll find a shop manual for the truck - a nice little bonus. The
doors are all steel with no panel coverings. The large black
three-spoke steering wheel appears to be original and has a turn
signal lever attached to the column. Behind the wheel on the dash
are original gauges, key ignition and start button, and a control
for the single speed wipers (slow). There are heat controls but the
truck is currently heater-delete. Rising up from the floor is a
Lokar shifter for the 3-speed automatic transmission. Overhead are
sun-visors for both driver and passenger. As you can see from the
photos, this truck has a great look that will turn heads wherever
you go! There are only a limited number of these 52's left on the
road these days and this is a rare opportunity to add a gorgeous
one to your garage!
