It’s hard not to get drawn in by an interesting pickup like this one which hasn't lost its good old fashioned charm and simplicity. This all steel Ford truck is nicely refinished in a unique and delicious coffee brown and butterscotch paint combination. Inside, the same color scheme continues with the exterior tan being joined by complementing tan tweed upholstery on the bench seat and door panels. The insulated cab warms it up a bit and helps control noise. The original steel dash is stock and uncluttered with a classic and familiar Ford emblem positioned in the center. Everything works as intended, even the factory original heater box.
A few modern creature comforts were tastefully added, including an aftermarket gauge cluster, AM/FM radio, cruise control and an updated floor shifter. Underneath the hood is a rebuilt 318 V8 Mopar engine mated to an automatic transmission. The limited use of chrome offers a nice presentation that respects it blue collar roots. New Firestone tires offer a smooth ride and are adorned by classic Ford logoed hubcaps. With only 500 miles on the restoration (done in 2005), this desirable 1942 F Series is an affordable classic pickup that draws instant attraction and radiates nostalgic warmth.
