Description
For sale is an absolutely beautiful
Ford half tonne pick up from 1946
The truck was first registered in the UK in 1997 after being professionally restored with a full nut and bolt restoration by Mr Croft who was an employee at Fords head office in the UK working in their quality control department.
Mr Croft undertook a meticulous rebuild which included converting the truck to right-hand drive. The original engine was upgraded with a Ford 302 cubic inch V8 Block from a 1979 Mustang. The electronic ignition system, upgraded suspension and brakes along with power steering have created a thoroughly unique, usable classic.
The car was purchased off Mr Croft by my father in 2001 and has been cherished by him for the last 25 years, always kept in a heated garage and regularly serviced by our local classic car garage. Aside from a few very minor imperfections in the paint ( the odd small crack etc) that have developed over the past quarter of a century, the vehicle still looks pretty much like a freshly restored truck having only covered around 8500 miles in last 29 years (the mileage counter was set to 000000 in 1997).
The restoration and ownership is fully documented with a thick file of history ( see photos )
This truck turns every head and at a price less than a modern ford truck it is sure to be an appreciating asset.
Any inspection or questions are welcome.
