1951 Ford F-1

Description

This 1951 Ford F-1 is built to be a particularly nice cruiser while also not losing its vintage appeal. So while you'll enjoy the custom interior and upgraded suspension, you also have the correct classic feeling everywhere from the Flathead V8 under the hood to the real wood in the truck bed.

The glossy black paint makes the exact right first impression. It's an updated application that will get this truck noticed, but nothing is overly done to keep it off the road. So you have a true cruiser vibe. We love the look of the first generation F-Series for the big fenders that make for a terrific classic style. And this has the right details, like the steel running boards and tastefully weathered wood in the truck bed. There's plenty of nice brightwork with the chrome bumpers, hood trim, side mirrors, side step plates, and upgraded Cragar SS wheels. And so we think it was the right choice to have the grille look even more distinct in a two-tone matte-like silver/gray to stand out even more (and gray is important to the interior, too.)

The interior keeps a touch of the vintage style with the steel dash, stock-style gauges, and rugged rubber floor mat. But few people are going to pick up on that because the full package has been so nicely upgraded. It's a cool two-tone with gray and black intertwined on the dash, door panels, and seat. There's even gray carpeting under the floor mat for better sound deadening and if you even want to really get plush. And speaking of luxuries, this 1950s Ford has modern upgrades like an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth and provisions for R134a air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) The driver's seat is a nice command position with an upgraded sports seeing wheel, a tilt column, under-dash readouts, and a Hurst Indy shifter with a cool piston topper for the three-speed.

Under the hood is proper flathead V8 power. The 239 cubic-inch motor has a clean and cool style where it's easy to spot upgrades like the Edelbrock heads and the Holley four-barrel carburetor. And the aluminum radiator with electric fan really let you know this one was made to go for a drive. The V8 fires up readily with a nice tune out of the dual exhaust. And features like power seeing, power brakes, front discs, and an independent front suspension are nice cruiser upgrades that make this F-1 road-ready.

This is an awesomely vintage package that was built for you to truly enjoy. Don't let this real classic truck slip away, call today!
