Ford: F1 Panel Van / Hot Rod F1 1/2 Ton

This is a very nice clean example of a Classic 1949 F1 1/2 Ton Ford Panel Van. This truck's restoration was a labour of love as it was the dream of it's current owner to have one since he was a child. He has done a frame off nut and bolt restoration at a parts cost of $48. 00 not including labour. After owning the truck for 5 years. it's now time (with regret) to let it go. Everything is refinished or new. This truck is all metal with no filler or fibre glass. The frame has been clipped with a 81 cutlass front end. disc brakes. new bearings. springs. and ball joints. all the best components were used no white box parts. $10. 00 was spent on the custom interior alone. The Van is very easy to drive and handles well as all suspension components and brakes are new. This is a true turnkey Hot Rod that the whole family can enjoy.  
Bid with confidence as the cost to build the truck is well over our asking price.
