For Sale: 1947 Ford Pickup in Lutz, Florida

Just like people, when a work truck's first life is over, it can sometimes have a much more fun and exciting Renaissance in retirement. We can't be sure how many bales of hay or buckets of concrete this 1947 Ford Pickup may have moved in its previous iteration, but now, fully repainted in a beautiful Teal Blue Metallic, redone chrome, woodgrain bed strips, and hot rod-ready American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, we can be sure the only thing this short bed truck will be hauling today are good times and fond memories.

Contrasting its cool blue exterior, inside we find a warm red vinyl interior featuring a sporty three-spoke steering wheel complete with a Ford logo centercap. A five-pod AutoMeter gauge cluster is centered around a big 120 mph speedometer, while fuel, volts, water temperature, and oil pressure monitors flank it on either side. A large column-mounted 6,000 rpm AutoMeter tachometer sits offset to the right of the wheel. The spacious bench seat comes with seatbelts for both driver and passenger, while a woodgrain glovebox handle stands out as an interesting feature against the white dashboard.

Under that big steel hood, we find a throwback 239 cubic-inch Flathead V-8 engine. Upgraded with a single four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, this small block exhales through a true dual exhaust and trick set of Cherry Bomb mufflers to give this truck a unique sound all its own. Power is funneled through an AOD four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the ten-bolt rear end before ultimately transferred to those aforementioned American Racing wheels shod in a matching set of 235/70R-15 Hankook rubber.

Front discs and rear trucks are unassisted and help scrub off speed as necessary. Although we can't know what sorts of work this truck did throughout its first life, we do know that it is primed and ready for a stellar second act.
