1948 Ford F-1

Description

This 1948 Ford F-1 combines the best of old-school with well-integrated upgrades - including a leather interior, more V8 power, an upgraded suspension, and an overdrive transmission. The result is a true icon that you can truly enjoy to the fullest.

The Ford F-1 is arguably the best-looking post-war truck. While they all have a basic industrial attractiveness, this example is definitely a cut-above because of solid investments. The freight train-like intimidation of the bold, tall grille is emphasized further by the extra-bright shine from the mirror-like grille, bumper, and trim. The extra gloss of the red paint loves to let the sunshine show off the curves of the fenders. It still has a very vintage attitude, right down to the whitewall and two-piece wheel trim. But as you move around back, you start to also get a feeling for the modern upgrades. There's a rear bumper delete with a custom panel fill in the section below the tailgate. And the truck bed is done in full liner paint with a unique color-matched storage box at the front.

Open the door to see an interior with all the right upgrades. The bold exterior red returns, but now it's joined by the black in the right places. We especially love it on the upgraded spit bench where it's done in supple leather and the fold-down armrest gives you bucket-like comfort. And the contrast red stitching is a thoughtful coordinating touch. Plush carpeting, an AM/FM CD stereo, a banjo-style steering wheel, the tilt column, and upgraded gauges are all part of this package that makes the classic great for driving.

The engine bay continues this truck's thoughtful style. The smooth red inner walls, red radiator shroud, and read block are all part of a well-planned style. And we especially like how the black Ford Racing valve covers and air grabber also have matching red lettering. Plus, there's also something pretty cool about a Ford truck updated with proper Ford power. This 302 cubic-inch V8 inhales deeper with a Demon four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet tune out of the dual exhaust. There's even a bright aluminum radiator that helps keep the full package running cool. The V8's a strong runner, and so this one was made to hit the road. That's why you have an upgraded Mustang II-style tubular A-arm independent front suspension, power steering, and front disc brakes. There's even an upgrade to a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive to make this a solid cruiser.

A sleek classic Ford look with upgraded Ford power under the hood is always appealing. And you get to enjoy it all from an extra-comfy interior. So you know this is the total package you've been waiting for. Call now!
