Ford F1 226 CID Flathead V8 1947
General description :
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this refreshed 1947 Ford F-1 pickup truck with lots of personality! Powered by a peppy 226 cubic inch flathead V8, this truck moves pretty well! Making this exceptionally more fun to drive is the fact that the original 3-speed manual transmission has been evicted, and in its place is a T-5 manual transmission liberated from a late-model S10 pickup. The trans shifts buttery smooth and vastly improves the entire experience of cruising this classic, not to mention the boost in MPGs! The whole truck has seen some extensive work done over the last few years, including having the engine completely redone, and it runs like a top! The heads were removed and magnafluxed, as well as the block, to check for any cracks or imperfections. It was all reassembled and dropped into the freshly painted truck. Driving this baby out on the sunny days is absolutely great, but on the poor weather days, you’ll have to tuck it away. Thanks to the installed battery tender, you won’t need to worry about jumping it at the beginning of every season! With perfect road manners, highway drivability, and plenty of character, this is one fun ’47 Ford F-1. Options include: AM/FM Radio, Hub Caps, Vinyl Interior, and White Wall Tires.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
