This 1948 Ford F-1 pickup is finished in almond with blue fenders over two-tone brown and is powered by a 226ci flathead straight-six paired with a three-speed manual gearbox. The truck was purchased by the seller in 2017 and subsequently refurbished with work including a body-off repaint, retrimming the interior, rebuilding the engine, and installing front disc brakes. Features include 16″ white painted steel wheels with chrome covers, a wooden bed floor, chrome exterior trim, running boards, and a bumper hitch receiver.
The body was removed from the frame and repainted in almond with blue fenders, and chrome trim adorns the hood, grille, light surrounds, and side mirrors. Features include a step-side bed with a wood floor, bumper-mounted hitch receiver, vent windows, electric windshield wipers, and a hood ornament.
White painted 16″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and whitewall tires. The truck is equipped with front disc brakes, and the seller states replacement shocks and springs have been fitted at all four corners.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in two-tone brown leather with a body-colored dashboard, door panels, and a brown headliner. Equipment includes a glovebox, an ashtray, lap belts, and a storage tray mounted between the seats.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames replacement instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 200 miles, and approximately 1k miles were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 226ci flathead straight-six was rebuilt during the refurbishment and painted red. A replacement clutch, throwout bearing, and flywheel have been installed along with an electronic ignition system. The truck has been converted to a 12-volt electrical system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a remanufactured three-speed manual transmission. A 20-gallon fuel cell with an electric fuel pump is mounted behind the rear axle. The seller notes that the transmission intermittently pops out of second gear while under load.
