Ford F-100 1951
General description :
CUSTOM SUSPENSION, 302 V8, C4 AUTO, A/C, POWER FRNT DISCS/STEERING, VERY NICE!
Can a vintage pickup be a hot rod, too? Just keep looking over all the pictures of this custom-built 1951 Ford F-1, and soon you'll realize the cool paint, custom interior, and 302 V8 makes this everything you want, plus a truck bed.
This is an aggressive take on one of the most iconic pickup trucks around. Look at the sizzling red paint; the lowered stance; the 17-inch front and big 20-inch rear Riddler wheels – all of this tells the world the only work you're truck wants to do is lay down black marks. But what will really get you hooked on this pickup are the details. The curves in the hood have been used to create a painted nice custom stripe package. This is the main focus point for the black accents that include the teeth of the grille and the walls of the truck bed. In fact, while the bed looks stylish, that's a spray-in liner around the treated wood. So if you ever did need to go to the hardware store, this pickup can bring your project home in a hurry.
Open the door and the red and black theme continues on this completely custom interior. Gone is the bench, and in its place are two infinitely more comfortable bucket seats, trimmed in black vinyl with red cloth inserts. In between, there's a center console and cup holders. This color scheme continues on the door panels, roof, carpets, and dashboard. And speaking of that dash, it's hard to find something this nice in a '50s Ford pickup. The utilitarian roots are erased with a full custom AutoMeter gauge setup that includes the speedometer, and tachometer, behind the more modern Ford steering wheel. Angled and molded into the dash towards the driver is a cool auxiliary gauge setup, and below that is the AM/FM/CD stereo. This cool custom even has air conditioning to keep you and your passenger completely comfortable.
Under the hood, the flathead V8 has been traded in for a larger 302 cubic-inch Ford motor. It's been further upgraded with a Holley carburetor and Weiand intake to keep the power reliably on tap. Even if the rumble of the dual exhaust sounds a bit like a hot rod, this is a true driver's pickup. Cruising is made easy by the C4 three-speed automatic transmission and power steering. Plus, the suspension has been upgraded to a Ford Crown Vic front end with power front disc brakes too, so driving this custom pickup is fun!
This is the cool, unique, and affordable vintage pickup that can go to work with you on the weekdays, and park proudly at the car shows on the weekend. Be the proud owner and 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.
