Ford F1 1948
General description :
350 V8, TH350 AUTO, A/C, PWR STEER/BRAKE, GR8 CRUISER/ LOCAL SHOW, CLEAN IN/OUT!
This 1948 Ford F-1 is one cool pickup. A slick two-tone red exterior, custom A/C interior, and upgraded V8 power under the hood create one of the most interesting vintage trucks you'll enjoy driving everywhere.
1948 is the first year for the first-generation Ford F-series, so this truck will always hold a special place in our enthusiast hearts. But there's a lot more distinction here than just history. You see it the moment the sunlight hits this paint. Yes, that's a two-tone red. The way the fenders and running boards are a deeper tone than the cherry hue of the hood, cab, and bed gives this Ford a bit of a modern flair without losing its vintage feeling. The same goes for the wheel package. Whitewalls with two-piece trim have a terrific classic feel, but the more aggressive stance lets you know there's something extra special about this truck.
Inside is more classic pieces with an eye for upgraded flair. After all, you could never get a two-tone red and white bench seat in '48. More than just look great, the fold down armrest means there's an individual level of comfort you just don't get in most classic pickups. Plus, you'll love the details like how the door panels, sun visors, and headliner have been upgraded to match the seats. The steering wheel has the classic dual-spoke design but with a smaller diameter for easier handling. This classic has all the right modern amenities, including cold R134a air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD stereo, tilt steering column, Lokar shifter, and a full set of Classic Instruments gauges.
While the flathead is a fine V8 available from Ford in '48, having an upgrade to Chevy 350 power makes this a terrific modern classic. In fact, the engine upgrade means you also get the reliable TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. Good power and great usability is the central them of the build, and that's why it has the right supporting components like an independent front suspension and a Walker aluminum radiator. Add in power steering, front disc brakes, and a modern tread under those classic whitewalls, and you have one of the most interesting pickups you can comfortably take near or far.
A distinct, comfortable, and historic total package like this is quite a unique find. So don't miss your chance. Call now!

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.
