"First on the roster of all trucks in the nation. There are more
Ford trucks on the road today than trucks of ANY other make! First
on the roll call of all trucks ever built and bought in this
country. More Fords have been made and sold than trucks of any
other make! First in horsepower per pound of gross vehicle weight,
for comparable equipment. No wonder Ford Trucks get "first call"
from operators who check closely into costs and quantity." From a
1941 print ad.
For consignment, a 1941 Ford F1 pickup showing 95,035 miles, but
the true miles are unknown. This former father and son restoration
came out of Chattanooga, Tennessee and presents in classic style
configuration.
Exterior
Two tone coverage continued to trend in 1941 and here we have it in
two stage paint technology gleaming like never before in Mayfair
Maroon over Black. Under the prominent nose of the big hood, the
vertical strakes of the grille contrast in polished chrome which
also covers that nose with a broad band tapering back onto the
hood. Yellow fog lights live up front and a red stripe lines the
beltline of the cab, matching the Ford embossment on the tailgate
and the painted 16-inch steel wheels. Beauty rings, Ford hubcaps,
and white wall tires create a visual sensation bolstered by a fifth
wheel perched on the side. The solid steel bed is topped by rails
on the bed walls and a mounting board up front. The split
windshield is flanked by side mirrors and a spotlight resides on
the A-pillar. Imperfections include scratches, chips, inclusions,
bubbling, cracked paint, and paint runs. At a small distance, the
truck presents very nicely and the body is straight.
Interior
Body matched painted steel doors present with a clean, glossy
finish. Inside, a green vinyl bench seat spans the cabin in great
shape and fronts a two spoke steering wheel with some patina and a
very nice dashboard with the white faced instrument cluster popping
off the maroon backing. Ivory knobs live in the center and the
shifter snakes its way up to the driver from the floor that's
protected by a full rubber mat. The ceiling and back wall are also
green and surround the modest rear window and doors.
Drivetrain
No slouch here as you have a rebuilt 221ci flathead V8 putting out
85 horsepower and topped by a rebuilt 2-barrel carburetor. It's
mated to a rebuilt 3-speed manual transmission with Zephyr gears
and sending power to the 3.78 ratio axle in back. The bay presents
cleanly.
Undercarriage
Clean and simple underneath with a touch of patina, here we find a
single exhaust and stock style muffler making its way around the
X-frame. Suspension consists of transverse leaf springs at both
ends with a wishbone up front. The brakes are drums all around and
benefit from a new master cylinder, brakes lines, and wheel
cylinders.
Drive-Ability
All of the rebuilds yield a fine running truck with that classic
feel only vintage trucks can deliver. A quick loop around the test
area reveals a fully functional vehicle that we're proud to
represent! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
If you're looking for a classic vehicle with a bed, in red, with
vintage cred, this is the ride for you! Yes, vintage trucks remain
strong in the collector market and good ones don't last long here
at the mall. It is the ultimate embodiment of Americana and who
doesn't want a bit of rolling patriotism in their garage?
