Vehicle Description
This 1950 Ford F-1 is an awesome kind of custom vintage pickup that
takes the freight train-like commanding appearance, and adds in
some terrific upgrades like A/C and serious V8 power.
The Ford F-1 is arguably the best-looking post-war truck. While
they all have a basic industrial attractiveness, this example is a
cut-above because of its customizing. It starts with the bold
yellow color. Painting a pickup like a Ferrari will certainly grab
attention, and there is even a yellow light kit so you can project
this color further at night. It's total presentation is the perfect
balance of looking fantastic, without setting off alarms to people
that this is a non-driving trailer queen. After all, this pickup
was built to enjoy. The front grille is blacked out like a true
muscle machine. It gives the rest of the brightwork a chance to
really standout in places like the bumpers, exhaust tips, and the
stylish Ridler wheels that are staggered 17/18 inches front/rear to
help give this F-1 an aggressive stance. The real wood bed has a
high gloss shine that tells you any duty this pickup has seen since
its custom build has been done with great care.
The interior continues this feeling of upgraded performance, with
an aggressive black vinyl that has all the right premium touches.
After all, the all-black has a clean-n-mean appearance we all love,
but then you see the great details like the perforated seating
areas and the diamond stitching in the velour headliner. There are
also great premium features like an AM/FM/cassette stereo and cold
air conditioning. But from the moment you slip behind the custom
steering wheel and grab the floor shifter, you know this pickup is
all about the drive. There's a full custom VDO gauge setup directly
in front of you, and that large Sun Super Tach is a clear
indication there's something special under the hood.
One quick look in the engine bay, and you'll know that's not a Ford
motor. It's not much of a worry that this blue oval has Chevy power
because the 350 cubic-inch V8 is one of the most versatile and
upgradeable powerplants around. In fact, this one already has
go-fast improvements installed such as the GM Performance intake,
four-barrel carburetor, performance headers, and a sweet sounding
Flowmaster dual exhaust. So yes, you're going to love this Chevy
power. The V8's muscle is handled by a stout TH350 three-speed
automatic transmission before being sent to a Ford 9-inch rear end.
Plus, you've got some great upgrades to keep you feeling good on
the road, like the Chevy independent front suspension, and newer
wide performance rubber at all four corners.
This is the truck that looks cool and keeps you cool on the inside.
It's a Ford pickup that attracts a lot of attention, but the
enthusiast who will enjoy it most is the one sitting behind the
wheel. Make it yours today! Call now!!
