Vehicle Description
There's a timeless charm to a classic truck, an authenticity that
speaks of simpler days and hardworking hands. This 1947 Ford Pickup
is no exception-a piece of post-war Americana that stands as a
testament to craftsmanship, durability, and understated elegance.
Finished in Green with tasteful Tan accents, this truck's
appearance is both striking and humble, embodying the era's
utilitarian spirit. With its solid, all-steel construction and
114-inch wheelbase, this Ford is the kind of vehicle that turns
heads without even trying, offering a unique combination of
ruggedness and refined design.
Under the hood, you'll find a Flathead inline-6 engine, a
powerplant renowned for its reliability and smooth performance.
Paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, this truck offers a
driving experience that's as hands-on as it is rewarding. Whether
you're cruising down a quiet country road or pulling into a local
car show, the drivetrain provides a connection to the road that's
simply unmatched by modern vehicles. The suspension setup,
featuring a solid front axle and live rear axle with longitudinal
semi-elliptic leaf springs, ensures that the truck maintains its
sturdy, purpose-driven stance while delivering a surprisingly
comfortable ride for its era.
This 1947 Ford Pickup is equipped with 4-wheel hydraulic drum
brakes, offering confidence and control even in today's driving
conditions. Adding to its practicality are four brand-new radial
tires, which not only enhance its road performance but also bring a
touch of modern reliability to this vintage gem. Despite these
subtle updates, the truck remains unapologetically original, with
only one prior respray in its factory-correct colors. The result is
a vehicle that retains its patina and proudly wears the character
it has earned over decades of faithful service.
Stepping into the cab is like stepping back in time. The interior
is entirely original, showcasing the craftsmanship and simplicity
of 1940s design. From the well-worn steering wheel to the
utilitarian dashboard, every detail speaks to the authenticity and
history of this truck. For an unrestored vehicle, it shows
remarkably well, with a charming combination of care and use that's
evident in every panel and surface. The patina tells a story, and
for enthusiasts, it's these imperfections that make the truck truly
special.
With only two owners since new, this Ford Pickup has been lovingly
cared for, making it a rare find in the world of vintage vehicles.
Trucks like this are increasingly difficult to come by, especially
in such honest, original condition. Whether you're a collector
looking to add a piece of history to your garage or a classic truck
enthusiast seeking a driver that turns heads and starts
conversations, this 1947 Ford Pickup is a remarkable
opportunity.
There's a certain magic in owning a vehicle like this. It's more
than just a mode of transportation-it's a link to the past, a
rolling piece of history that carries with it the stories of those
who came before. From its enduring steel body to its dependable
Flathead engine, this Ford Pickup stands as a tribute to an era
when things were built to last. For those who appreciate
authenticity, craftsmanship, and the enduring allure of a classic
American truck, this 1947 Ford Pickup is ready to continue its
journey. All it needs now is someone who values the story it has to
