Up for sale is my 1949 Ford F-1 Classic Pickup truck. (Texas Title states 1949 although looks like 1950-1952). I have owned this truck for about a year now and have begun to rebuilt it since I got it. I am getting married next month so bills and my future wife have forced me to get it sold. I am listing with NO RESERVE so highest bidder takes it. I will list all the information that I have for this truck to the best of my ability however please do not hesitate to ask any more questions as I want to make sure that the winning bidder is satisfied with the purchase made. I have worked on this truck for a long time so it is hard to let it go but I am sure that the new owner will be just as happy with this fantastic truck as I am.

Engine:

This truck has been a project of mine and although not fully complete will make a fantastic show or daily driver truck. This truck has had new paint job, brand new upholstery, carpet, custom matching vynil seat and roof. New wood for Bed inserts just finished and has brand new tires installed by previous owner. Due to the current work on this truck the gas tank has been removed for new carpet and seats to be installed. Mechanicaly this truck has had very little work done as my intentions were to finish the exterior and interiors first then work my way to the engine. This truck does start and run however will need some adjustments and replacements. Truck has a brand new battery purchased at Advanced Auto Parts in August 2012. To the best of my knowledge original engine was replaced with a Ford 460 Engine V8 from a 1970ish Ford Ranger along with transmission (automatic) and rear axels. The carburator does need adjusting as it chokes a little when rpm gets high. The Radiator needs to be fixed or replaced as it does have some leakage. The fan was installed after and although works needs to be worked on as it seems to have been placed on temporarily. The engine will need muffler as pipes were cut (see pictures) and can be a bit noisy at times. The gauges on the truck do not work so will need to be replaced or connected. Electric works great on truck including installed stereo (needs speakers as ones on were stolen. The tuck does have current Texas State inspection until 07/2013.

Paint and Body

The truck needed a lot of work to be completed on the exterior so there were over 200 hrs of good body work perfomed on this truck and over $3500.00 dlls invested in paint, materials and work . The color of the truck is an original Ford color that was chosen to stand out. The truck paint work was performed by a small local shop so its good not for a show truck but it looks great. The trucks interior bed area is the only spot that still would have needed some more work (see pics) but a cover was going to be used so it was left this way. This paint job was done while the bed was removed so chasi protectant was applied under the bed (see pics). The paint was applied to the interior as well. Exterior accesories are needed such as rear view mirrors for doors. Front signal lights are needed. The hood latch system needs adjusting as it does hook and close but is very difcult to re-open or re-close.

Upholstery and Seats

Brand new carpet has been installed on the truck in a grey color. The seat and roof have been covered with a custom two-tone grey matching vynil that I believe looks great.

Wheels and Tires.

This truck has a little bit of a problem with the wheels as you can see on the pics the rear end has 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern and the front has 5 x 5.5" so since I purchased it different wheels have been on the truck. The tires are brand new more than 95% thread left which is good but to complete new wheels will be needed.

Windshield and Windows

Front and rear windshields have been replaced with the original greenis tone glass this month.The truck is needing both door windows as they have not been installed. One door has complete hardware for window to be installed but the driver door needs all the hardware to be completed. The truck did orginaly come with the small corner windows however they were not reinstalled as it needs new rails and seals. Turck does need new wipers as the old ones were removed.

Wood Bed / Rear End

New wood has been isntalled on truck nice stain applied and clear coat finish. The wood bed is needing metal or chrome rails to hold it all together and needs to be tighten to the beds frame. The rear bumper as you can see in pictues is nice however does show small signs of rust so will need to be re-plated or replaced. New Rear tail lights are needed as the current ones although they work would have to be replaced with newer nices ones to fit new trucks finish.

 

This truck is being sold as is, without any warranty implied or expressed so please make sure to ask any and all questions before bidding. I encourage anyone to come and see the truck in person in Mission, TX at any time during the listing or to have it inspected before purchasing. I am listing all information that I know to the best of my knowledge. I want to make sure that the buyer feels confident of what you are bidding on.

Happy biddings!!
