1950 Ford F-1 Pick-up "Hog Hauler"

1950 Ford F-1 Pick-up "Hog Hauler"
Ex Kansas farm truck in great mechanical condition and rat restored to near original condition. Original (patina surface only) rust and original signwriting that matches the certificate of title and how is the originality of that worn bench seat that is very comfortable and still in great condition.  
This unit has not been slammed and sits on original chassis and suspension with new shock absorbers and new drive bits added to ensure a nice straight and easy drive around town or on the highway and sits on original rims with beaut hubcaps and brand new radial tyres. But there are some discreet rat style modifications like the skull bonnet emblem. double fluted horn that will keep other road users away. after market fuel tank and tacho and purists stop reading here as for performance there has been a worked 350 Chev motor dropped in that pulls nicely matched with 3 speed on the floor and new dual exhaust.  
What have we done to it since we got it here? We have placed a themostatic fan on the radiator to keep it cool for the Aussie summer. we have relocated the battery back into the engne bay. have applied Ankor Wax to the exterior and interior. replaced the dash with a new console and connected all the instruments bar the fuel tank. So it starts. stops. turns. accelerates and cuises without issue and is a real turn key truck with fabulous patina. We have kep the car show winning rbbons on the dash for fun and there is no reason why this truck will not contnue to win prizes at car shows in Australia. What still needs to be done? Only 2 things and they are connect the speedo cable and fix the windscreen wipers. I am not aat the shop enough at the moment to get it done (anyone want to come and look and take a drive can do so with other staff at our complex) and then we cut a deal.

No tyre kickers please or low ballers as I paid handsomely for this truck and patina and doing the sums with exchange to AUD and shipping and customs costs and the work we have done since we are selling this truck out at cost - we are just in this for the fun and enjoyment I have had to drive it around for the last 6 months and now it is time for someone else to have some fun. You will see in the pictures that even the patina king Jonathan Ward of Icon 4x4 in Los Angeles gave it the "patina thumbs up" so thats a big stamp of approval.
