This 1950 Ford F-1 pickup is finished in black over a brown vinyl interior and is powered by a 226ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a chrome grille, powder-coated wheels, wide whitewall tires, a wood-lined bed, and a cabin heater. The truck is said to have originally served as a fire service vehicle in northern Indiana until being decommissioned and placed into storage in the mid-1970s. It was acquired by the seller’s father in the early 1990s, and service since 2018 reportedly includes cleaning the generator and starter, re-packing the front wheel bearings, and replacing the battery, water pump, drive belt, brake hoses, and more as detailed below.
The truck has been repainted in black and features a driver-side mirror, chrome trim, F-1 badging, and a wood-lined bed.
The 16″ steel wheels have been powder-coated red and wear Coker Classic wide whitewall tires that were reportedly mounted in 2019. Recent service has reportedly included changing the brake fluid, re-packing the front wheel bearings, and replacing the brake master cylinder, brake lines, and wheel cylinders. The factory steel wheels and a spare wheel and tire are included in the sale.
The cab features a brown vinyl bench seat, headliner, and kick panels along with body-color sheet metal. A cabin heater is mounted under the dashboard, and the seller notes that an uninstalled horn assembly and black rubber floor mats are included in the sale.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 4k miles.
The 226ci straight-six is equipped with a single downdraft carburetor and sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission. Service within the last 100 miles has reportedly included changing the fluids, lubricating the distributor, cleaning the generator and starter, and replacing the battery, water pump, drive belt, condenser, points, and spark plugs.
