Ford F1 292 V8 1955
General description :
WELL SORTED SOUTHERN F-250, FRESH ENGINE & BRAKE REBUILD, 292 V8, 4 SP, NICE '55
This is one for the haulers, attention getters, and anyone who loves unique vintage trucks. After all, how often do you ever see a 1955 Ford F-250 with a stake bed on the road anymore? But this well-coordinated truck is a beautiful reminder of what an honest day's work really means.
Do you have a business to promote or just want to make a splash at car shows? Imagine parking this vintage stake truck at your front door and/or taking up two spaces at an enthusiast event. People will marvel at this truck's well-done total presentation. After all, it has nicely fitting body panels and black paint with its perfect mix of high gloss and a hint of use. So it makes this like it's the 1950s and you're looking at the company's latest workhorse. Plus, its distinct front end, Ford side step plates, and eight-lug red wheels with whitewalls really puts the industrial nostalgia into overdrive. And of course, there's the bed. The removable stake sides make a complete pen, and as you peek inside, you'll see a nicely coordinated storage box. All of this straight and complete lumber has a cool appearance that tells you it has gone to work but always has been well maintained. That's exactly how you should view this classic pickup. So no matter if you want to put your company's logo on the side, or just want a showpiece to bring your motorcycle, this is your best way to grab some attention.
Inside you really start to understand how well coordinated this truck is. The black doors match the exterior paint, the gray seat matches the grille, and the red dash and seat insert match the wheels. So it feels like a very thoughtful total package. And while this is quite vintage, it's also still a useful truck today. For example, the large steering wheel and horizontal speedometer give you the old-school pickup vibe, but the full array of auxiliary gauges below the dash mean you know exactly what's going on in the engine bay.
The 292 cubic-inch V8 was one of the largest motors across the entire Ford family in 1955, so it's great to have it powering this industrial machine. It looks quite nice with the bold yellow presentation radiating from within the dark black engine bay. But what you'll really love is the huge investment in this V8. In the last few months, about $7,600 has been invested in this motor. Not only did they refresh it and get the fundamentals right, but they also replaced the carburetor, added newer brakes, and upgraded to a three-core aluminum radiator to help keep this industrial-grade machine running cool. There's even a four-speed manual transmission to give you complete control.
Complete with operator's manual and maintenance records, this is a versatile and distinct vintage truck. So at a price like this, you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call today!!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
