This is an almost complete and darn solid 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup project that I am listing for a friend. I will answer any questions you may have through eBay. The owner wishes to sell this truck as a COMPLETE PACKAGE. He is not interested in selling parts until the complete truck is sold, at which time there will be quite a few duplicate parts left over. The initial buyer will be blessed with first choice on ALL parts, and will receive ONE of each part needed for the project. (Example: There are two sets of grille "guards", one painted and one chrome. The buyer gets his/her choice of either set.) Payment of a $250 deposit is required within 48hrs of auction end. PayPal cannot be accepted for anything but the deposit!! (Please see payment terms)
The entire body has been removed from this truck, the frame cleaned, sanded, primed and painted. The frame appears to be in excellent condition, straight, solid and with no rust. We believe the transmission, differential, axles and springs to be original and all appear to be in very good condition. Braking system is of unknown condition as we have not driven the truck. The cab is loosely attached to the frame for transport. As shown in the pix, it will require rear corner repair or replacement cab corners. As far as I can find, this is the only significant body "rot" on the entire truck. The dash is solid and unmolested, the floorboard is solid and the rear of the cab is straight and solid. The roof is straight and solid except for a small, poorly repaired hole where a CB antenna was mounted. This small hole (1/4") will need repair. The firewall appears solid and unmolested. The transmission cover has some rust, but there are two replacements from which to choose. Door posts and glass frames seem very solid and straight. Front and rear windshield glass is included, but is the original, showing some stains and minor clouding. No cracks or chips that I could find. Windshield rubber (new) is included.
Motor is the original Flathead V-8 for 1951. It is believed to be in running condition. We removed the heads to examine the cylinder walls and piston "slop". There is very little movement (side to side) indicating the rings are not badly worn. The cylinder walls appeared clean and smooth, with a very minor top ridge. The motor turns over freely and smoothly. The only missing part (from the motor) of which I am aware is the carburetor. It appeared to be in good condition, so we removed it, wrapped it in oily rags, and put it in a safe place. If we find it before the buyer takes the truck it will be included. Please bid with the assumption that you will need a carburetor. Oil bath air cleaner is included. New Mallory Distributor cap is included. New points and condenser are included.
The transmission is a three speed, column shift. We believe the transmission, clutch, pressure plate and shift linkage to be in good condition, but we cannot guarantee this because we have never driven the truck under power. The transmission shifts in and out of all gears smoothly, and the clutch engages/disengages. The column shifter appears complete and functional. I believe the column in the truck is a "floor shift" version installed temporarily. The steering wheel is original, serviceable but should be restored.
The front fenders are very solid and straight, but NOT PERFECT!! Very small "dings" are present, and at the very bottom corners/lips there are small stress cracks and some minor rust. The smaller (bottom extension) fender pieces are quite solid. If you are familier with these truck fenders you will recognize these as EXCELLENT for used fenders. All the various components of the front grille, hood shelf, hood latch, radiator support, splash guard, grill guards, park lights, headlight buckets, battery tray, etc. are present and in good, solid used condition. The hood is solid and straight with minor imperfections. Hood brackets, springs, latches and trim are all included.
Truck doors are VERY solid and straight, with hinges still attached. Hinges have very little play. All 4 pieces of door glass are included, but are the originals with some staining/clouding. No cracks or chips that I could see. Metal door insert panels are in good condition. Window risers and door latch assemblies are present and appear in good condition. New glass channels are included. (Note: I only have pix of one door. The other door is in just the same condition!) Original window cranks are included, but one interior door handle and one exterior door handle are missing. If we find them they will be included with the truck.
The pickup bed is pretty remarkable.....I don't think I've ever seen bedsides as good as these. I believe them to be used original parts, but they are amazingly solid and damage free. The rear fenders are very good, solid originals with minor dings. The tailgate is not perfect, but is solid and very repairable. The bottom tube needs a little straightening/smoothing but is solid! The front panel is smooth and solid (very heavy but may be a reproduction). New bed support crossmembers are included. A complete (NEW) oak bed floor kit (with stainless steel runner strips) is included. (Pix just shows part of the kit.) I think the bolts are missing.
Both the original wiring harness (good original condition) and a high quality new harness are included. Two very good headlight buckets with inner and outer chrome trim are included. The speedometer and instrument cluster appear to be in VERY GOOD and complete condition. The heater appears complete/solid but is untested. The heavy duty radiator appears in good condition but is untested. Front and rear bumpers and all brackets are in very good condition. The original choke and throttle cables are included, as are the ash tray, cowl vent assembly and HUNDREDS of new and used rubber seals, bushings, gaskets, body shims and small parts are included. Please look carefully at ALL of the pix........most of the available parts are shown, but not everything.
The only parts MISSING from this project truck (as far as we can determine) are the original 16" wheels, the seat, the carburetor and the taillights. I am NOT a "Ford Expert", so I may have missed something that you need to know. PLEASE ask questions BEFORE bidding!! Please look carefully at the pictures!! I have described this truck to the best of my ability, but it is the BIDDER'S RESPONSIBILITY to clarify any confusion or ask any questions prior to entering into a buyer's contract. I will help any way I can!!
The truck is available for viewing and pickup in Hudson, FL (Central West Coast) or I can deliver for $1.00 per loaded mile. (anywhere in lower 48) If you wish to arrange other transport the owner will help with loading.
NOTE: I could not load all the pix of the smaller parts due to eBay restrictions. Serious "shoppers" may request extra pix through eBay messages/questions or ask about specific items. Thanks!
NOTE: The front fenders alone (4 pieces) cost the owner $500, and the Oak Bed Kit lists for about $350...........If you do the math you will see that this rock solid project truck is a STEAL at double the starting bid!!
NOTE: The truck is for sale locally, so the owner reserves the right to end the auction early and cancel any existing bids. I suggest bidding seriously to eliminate that possibility.

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works
Wed, Oct 21 2020With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.
Weekly Recap: Toyota, Mazda team up to 'make cars better'
Sat, May 16 2015Toyota and Mazda are teaming for a noble purpose: to "make cars better." That's how the two Japanese automakers termed their partnership, which was announced this week. So what does this actually mean? The companies said they will set up a joint committee to look for areas of cooperation and named safety and the environment as issues they plan to tackle. From a product perspective, it's believed that Toyota is interested in Mazda's Skyactive engine portfolio. In turn, Mazda has its eye on Toyota's fuel-cell and plug-in hybrid technology. While more specifics were not confirmed, the companies said the "agreement will go beyond the traditional framework of cooperation," and it has the potential to be a long-range partnership. "The main purpose of this initiative is to enhance the appeal of our cars," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said at the announcement. Previously, Mazda has licensed Toyota's hybrid tech and assembled compact cars for Toyota in Mexico. Akio Toyoda said these projects "triggered" the automakers to explore further collaboration. Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager for AutoPacific, said the tie-up echoes Daimler's wide-ranging work with the Renault-Nissan alliance. "This could be a well-groomed match due to each having very unique skill sets," he said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Volvo selects South Carolina for US factory Volvo confirmed this week that it will build its first US factory in South Carolina, with construction set to begin this fall. The company first revealed plans in March, though it didn't announce a site. The plant will have initial annual production of 100,000 units, though the vehicle or vehicles to be assembled were not specified. The factory, located near Charleston, will open in 2018 and ultimately employ 4,000 people. The facility will help Volvo continue its growth strategy, which includes strengthening its presence in the US market, where it wants to sell more than 100,000 cars per year. "Building a plant in the US is a reflection of Volvo Cars' commitment to the US and the key role the US plays in our growth objectives," Lex Kerssemakers, senior vice president, Americas, said in a statement. Ford GT spied on the road The 2017 Ford GT was spotted testing around the Blue Oval's headquarters in Dearborn, MI, this week. The raw body panels were exposed, and they lacked paint or camouflage. It's the first time the GT has been captured on the street after a spring of auto show reveals.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
