Vehicle Description
This beautiful and rare 1951 F3 Ford stake-side pickup truck has
been completely restored. Not only are they difficult to locate
because so many were used up and junked, but they are rarely
treated to a full frame-off restoration. This truck sports an
original 239ci Flathead V8 engine and 4-on-the-floor manual
transmission. It's finished in period-correct Sandpiper Cream paint
with matching interior cream and white door panels and dash with
Saddle brown seats. This all-steel truck has a laser-straight cab
and body; every part of this truck is either new or has been
reconditioned. Highlights of the restoration include the new frame,
floor pans, bumpers, glass, interior, wiring harnesses, dash
gauges, cargo bed, suspension and rebuilt engine. The restoration
was to the highest degree with no expenses spared. 1951 was the
first-generation F-Series for Ford trucks. An all-new grille design
with a large horizontal bar spread across the front of the truck
supported by three bullet-shaped teeth was the big style change in
that year.
