This Ford F-Series 1948-1952 got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1948 Ford F-1 pickup is finished in Vermillion over grey fabric and powered by a 226ci flathead inline-six mated to a floor-shifted 4-speed manual transmission. A multi-year body-off refurbishment was commissioned by a prior owner in Nevada, who then sold the truck to its previous owner before the seller’s purchase through a February 2017 Bat Auction. Approximately 500 miles have been driven in the ensuing year and a half, during which service included an oil change and carburetor tune-up as well as new spark plugs and wires. This F-1 is offered with refurbishment photos, recent records, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Vermillion and features polished brightwork on the bumpers, grille, and mirrors as well as wide running boards painted black. Matching red wheels wear polished caps and are mounted with Coker whitewall tires.
The truck bed is comprised of oak planks and stainless steel strips with matching hardware. A custom Nevada license plate remains mounted up front, while a Florida plate showing registration through July 2020 is at the rear.
The interior is customized with black carpet and gray fabric upholstery, with the bench seat backrest displaying the Ford logo in its corners. The matching door panels and pleated headliner can be seen in the gallery. A custom pad surrounds dashboard.
A stock 3-spoke steering wheel and period-style instrument cluster are retained, while an aftermarket stereo features an auxiliary input. The odometer shows 98k miles, with total mileage unknown.
The 226ci flathead inline-six is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with a floor-mounted shifter. Service during the seller’s ownership reportedly included an oil change, tuning the carburetor, and replacement of the spark plugs and wires.
Additional photos are provided in the gallery to detail the suspension, drivetrain, and painted frame.
Included photos depict the truck before and during its refurbishment, which reportedly took place over several years in Nevada under previous ownership. Supporting records for the work are unavailable.
