1952 Ford F-1

Description

This 1952 Ford F-1 has been updated and upgraded to be a great classic that still gives it modern appeal. As you look over the upgraded V8 power, custom A/C interior, and practical features, you'll realize it's a patina-style stunner with some great every-day appeal.

The slick matte green finish is a modern application, but it purposely isn't quite perfect. Instead, the finish wants to keep a hint of the workman attitude you got when you wanted to turn your shop truck into a hot rod. That's why it even has the custom speed shop graphics already on the doors (they are decals in case you want to remove/update them.) Most of the brightwork is now gray to go with the matte style. Even the Torq Thrust D wheels follow this style. And you can also tell they took the time to give this the right added premium pieces. The flush-mounted tail lights, full tonneau covers, and beautiful natural wood in the truck bed give this street machine some solid style cred.

The green returns inside, and now it's joined by a tasteful black. We like how they respected this pickup's vintage appearance while adding the best upgrades. For example, the dash has a nice classic look with smooth metal in green and cream. But they also build a full panel underneath to integrate modern amenities like an AM/FM radio with Bluetooth and cold-blowing air conditioning. The floor and steel door panels are also vintage, but the seat is a well-integrated late-model upgrade that lets you fold down the center for bucket-like comfort. The driving experience is upgraded with a banjo-style polished steering wheel, a tilt column, and a complete set of Omega Kustom gauges.

Ford was firmly into the V8 era when this F-1 was made, but what's under the hood here is a later addition for a different family. You have a Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8, and that's always a welcomed upgrade because they love power components. This one is built with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and shorty headers feeding the dual exhaust and Cherry Bomb style mufflers. It's a strong runner that's built to be an all-around cruiser. That's why you have cruiser-ready upgrades like an independent front end, a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.

Distinct, powerful, and cool, it's time to have some old-school fun with modern, comfy upgrades. Call now!
