Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.5) based on 529 votes
Firstly I think it's fair to say that this is possibly the best. most original and untouched F1 you may ever find! It has lived in a US dry state throughout its 65 year life hence its condition. Until recently it had been hiding away in a farmers barn for the past 30 years.
This is currently heading our way. due to arrive in the UK beginning of next month May. 1948 Ford F1 half ton short bed pickup truck finished in its original red paint. Original Flathead 239 cubic inch V8 with 4 on the floor manual transmission. This is the desirable option. most were fitted with the straight 6 cylinder. This is an untouched. unaltered truck. it has no rot/rust through anywhere.  The paint is all the original paint as applied by Ford in 1948 having benefited from 65 years of mother nature giving it this cool sought after look you see here!Any rust is only surface and this only goes to add to the wonderful Patina. All floors. cab corners etc are absolutely solid. All body panel seams are perfect. The chassis is excellent too. It may need some new glass in the cab however this is only simple flat laminated glass available from most glass suppliers. You can replace the entire cab glass. doors. rear window and windscreen should you wish for around  £200.  It is still running its 6 volt electrics. All cab gauges are intact and undamaged. The cab is excellent and original. The seat is a bit rough having been attacked by mice at some stage. ( seat removed for cab photo to show condition of sheet metal)The truck starts . runs and drives. It will require usual recommissioning to make it a reliable daily driver.  In my humble opinion this truck needs clear coating to preserve its condition and look. people pay a fortune to replicate this age worn look!I personally think it would be an absolute travesty to repaint this truck and erase 65 years of history however should you decide to do so then it will be a simple task due to the sheet metal condition. I have the paperwork to enable simple UK registration including original US title and NOVA certificate. The truck is of course exempt from MOT and tax so obtaining a UK registration number will be very straight forward. Don't forget all replacement parts are available from many sources in the US and some in the UK so parts supply is excellent. . All service items are available off the shelf here in the UK. So in summary. a rare desirable 48 to 50 series F1 truck with the sought after Flathead V8 engine . these trucks. certainly in this condition are rare now in the US let alone in the UK. Please no silly offers. the last similar spec and condition truck sold here on Ebay UK 1 year ago for over £11000. In fact a similar truck but with 6 cylinder engine was on here several weeks ago for over £10kThis truck may not be cheap but it's the best you will find!Be quick. this will sell fast. while you're thinking about it someone else is buying it!Serious enquiries only please call Pete on 07980921341I will reserve the truck for a £500 deposit.
