1948 Ford F-1
Original 239cid Ford Flathead V8
original 1948 Ford F-1 pickup finished in Vermilion Red. This is a true California survivor that has been apart of a large collection stored. This is a fact that is difficult to duplicate. Ford’s legendary F-Series was first unveiled in January of 1948, Ford’s first postwar line with eight levels of trucks: F-1 for half-ton pickups, F-2 for the three-quarter ton, up to F-7 and F-8 heavy duty trucks. Base engine was a 226-cid flathead six cylinder. This example has the optional V8 Ford’s infamous flathead V8 displacing 238-cid and making 100 horsepower. Ford’s truck engines were painted red from 1948 through 1951.
Cosmetically this truck is 71 years old and in very nice shape. The body is quite straight with a a few minor dings here and there as well as some scratches. The truck has no rust anywhere except for a small section below the tailgate. The bed is an interesting design with a normal wood slat style bed and a metal floor welded on top. After 71 years the metal floor has become thin in the bed. There are a few small cracks in the original glass. The wheels and hubcaps are original and look great. The tires hold air but are several decades old.
The interior in this truck is in awesome shape. The simplicity and originality is refreshing in this day in age we live in. All the original red paint shines great. The original gauges are functional. The original optional drivers only sun visor is still very much present. The majority of the original headliner cardboard is still very much present and in good shape. This is amazing that after 71 years most of the headliner is still there. The original seat in in great shape and quite plush again after 71 years is amazing and a testament to the quality of materials combined with proper indoor storage. The original flooring is also in fantastic shape and very much present and not ripped up.
Mechanically when a motor is properly stored it makes all the difference in the world when decades later it comes time to lighting the fire. This 239 Flathead v8 has been stored properly and is runner. The motor runs strong, and shifts smooth in all gears. The truck is still a stock 6 volt setup, all of the electronics are functional. The brakes stop as they should. The truck is mechanically in good condition and doesn't appear to have any issues. However the truck is 71 years old and been sitting for the majority of its life. Clean title.
