Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1950
Ford F1.
This classic pickup stands out immediately thanks to its
one-of-a-kind custom paint, blending copper pearl with root beer
pearl to create a rich, deep finish that changes beautifully with
the light. Fresh chrome accents frame the truck from every angle,
enhancing the timeless Ford styling while giving it a sharp,
show-ready presence. Inside, the black vinyl interior keeps things
clean, comfortable, and true to the truck's vintage roots.
Under the hood sits a Chevrolet crate 350 CID V8, a well-known
platform for its reliability, strong torque, and easy
serviceability. Paired with a rebuilt Turbo 350 automatic
transmission, this drivetrain delivers smooth, confident
acceleration and relaxed cruising, making the truck enjoyable both
around town and on the highway. An Edelbrock intake manifold
combined with a 600 CFM Edelbrock carburetor improves airflow and
throttle response, helping the engine run efficiently while
delivering classic V8 performance and sound.
The driving experience has been significantly enhanced with a
Mustang II front suspension conversion. This upgrade improves
steering precision, ride quality, and overall handling compared to
the original setup, giving the truck a more modern and predictable
feel on the road. Out back, a Ford 8-inch rear end with a 4-link
suspension provides improved traction and stability, especially
under acceleration, while also increasing durability for long-term
driving enjoyment.
The bed of the truck is finished with a beautifully crafted oak
wood floor in a natural finish, adding a warm, handcrafted touch
that contrasts nicely with the bold exterior color. This 1950 Ford
F1 brings together classic truck styling, thoughtful performance
upgrades, and a standout custom finish, making it a well-rounded
build that's as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire.
