Ford F1 239 CI Flathead V8 1950

General description : Sometimes you just need an honest, no frills truck.
There's an innate coolness to offerings like this well-restored Ford F1. No gimmicks, no customization and no modern 'conveniences' distracting you from an engaging driving experience. Just a factory-spec throwback to the golden days of America and hardworking visionaries who built an empire. A cool head turner that celebrates blue collar swagger, this polished pickup capitalizes on timeless design and universal appeal. And, whether you're a diehard Ford fan, an old school truck lover or just a curious buyer who's looking for something wholly traditional, it's a cool classic that's sure to please!
BODYWORK/TRIM
While its basic shape is certainly appealing, first rate detailing is what makes this F1 really pop. Dressed and ready to roll, the truck was meticulously rebuilt during a thorough, ground-up restoration that included a traditional coat of Sheridan Blue 2-stage. Under that retro pigment, an incredibly straight fuselage features solid panels that display good fit and finish. Sleeved tailgate chains activate to reveal a highly varnished bed that's secured by Black skid strips. In addition to just the right amount of chrome, the truck's idealistic profile is highlighted by Black bumpers, Black steps and a bright silver grille. And overall, this road-ready cruiser carries every indication that its high-quality reboot was a well-planned effort.
ENGINE
If Henry Ford perfected one aspect of his automobiles, it was the Ford V8. Introduced in 1932 as a durable, torque-rich competitor to more expensive and labor-intensive 8-cylinders, the 'flatty' quickly became the standard for traditional and kustom builds. And, in keeping with that tradition, this strapping classic is powered by a correct, 239 cubic inch 8RT block. The throaty mill spins smooth 6.75 to 1 compression into an even 100 horsepower and 181 lb./ft. of reliable torque. Rebuilt and largely correct, the bright red engine perches a small Ford carburetor on 24-bolt heads. Cool details, like Ford-branded hoses, a Ford voltage regulator and an old school generator, add enough texture to sit at the show. And overall, this pickup's body-matched engine bay is a charming and 100% functional step back in to a much simpler, and some would say better, period of American automotive history.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Crawling under this classy blue oval reveals a sturdy frame and solid floors that are coated in a clean combination of red and black pigment. Power meets the ground through a traditional 3-speed, which twists torque to a proven 10-bolt axle. Correct leaf springs and drum brakes occupy all four corners of the chassis, mixing rugged road prowess with firm and solid stops. A single-pipe exhaust system begins with cast iron manifolds and progresses through a factory replacement muffler. And everything rolls on Sheridan Blue steelies, which turn 6.00-16 BF Goodrich Silvertown 4-plys around polished, Ford-stamped hubcaps.
INTERIOR
When you pop this pickup's doors, you'll find a crisp vinyl cockpit that's simple and purposeful. A requisite bench seat complements neutral side panels, a tight headliner and a black floor mat. In front of that seat, a Sheridan Blue dash hangs vintage telemetry and a correct AM radio over a factory heater. A large steering wheel laps a thin, column-mounted shifter. And panel-free doors add to the truck's tough, utilitarian charm.

In the market for something cool? Looking for something traditional? Yearning for something that, unlike so many resto-mods and modern cars, hasn't lost one ounce of its intended purpose or charm? Don't miss your chance to claim this timeless F1!
