Description
1952 F1 V8 Truck.
The first-generation shark toothed Ford F1 trucks are probably the most sought after of the long and distinguished line of Ford F series trucks which date back to 1948 and are still in production today. The series 1 from 48 to 52 are becoming harder to find and as such are becoming more collectible. We sourced this truck from Colorado, previously it had resided in California.
It is a nice example of a modified F1 that has been given a new lease of life with a revised power train and other mechanicals while maintaining the classic 50s look.
The following is some of the work we have carried out on the truck:
Exterior:
The stunning cherry red paint is nicely offset by the period white grills and whitewall tyres to give this truck a fantastic look.
New Paintwork including Black Raptored Side Step
New Front & Rear Chrome Bumpers
New Wheels & Chrome Period Hub Caps
New Stop/ Side/ Indicator Chrome Rear Lights
Interior:
The dash area of the truck has been kept as original as we could, the main instrument clusters are still in place but functionally have been replaced by a 12v instrument pod mounted below the dash.
Reupholstered Bench Seat in Black Cloth with Red Piping
New Firewall Cover
New Rear Bulkhead & Roof Panelling
New Black Carpet
Mechanical & Electrical:
The truck has had some significant upgrades to improve modern day performance, however the original front suspension and steering are still in place to keep that authentic 50s feel.
