         This is a 1949 ford 1/2 ton pickup. It has one of the best cabs I've seen in a long time. The cab, front fenders, hood, and engine came from a F-5 stake truck that had been in a barn for 20 plus years. The F-5 fenders have a bigger opening than F-1's and so they hang down below the running boards about 2 inches. They were so nice and have the great original patina I left them on it.  The only rust is the lower left fender apron below the headlight and the right door looks thin on the inside inner part where it meets the cab. I wish I could find a bed and rear fenders to match.The chassis is 1/2 ton with new brake cylinders, brake shoes, master cylinder,all hoses and lines. It still could have the drums turned or replaced but not totally necessary. They are rusty, It needs 2 studs replaced on the right front hub. It needs a muffler and tail/brake lights. The running boards have rust where the rear cross brace is. The bed and tail gate are near excellent with the exception the bed is the one that takes wood and metal dividers. It needs new wood and could use a couple better divider stripes. Again I haven't sand blasted and primed the rear 1/2 the truck yet as it has some rough patina as it is. If I could put red primmer with new rubbed through green paint that's my plan. The rear fenders have rust where they meet the running boards, behind the wheel where the brace attaches, and where the bed and fender meet as it curves down in the back. It could use better rears if you could find them. The engine sounds good from yard driven. When you 1st start it the valves pop and bang, but a little upper lube I think the engine is good. I think the park and headlights work as my brother did the changeover and I haven't checked. The big truck wireing is there for the tail lights. He did say the generator or voltage regulator needs repaired.  The speedomter reads 30,594 which is from the cab. It may be accurate for the cab and engine but the needle has fallen off from age and the cable isn't currently hooked up. I may buff the cab and front 1/2 but wanted to show them as barn fresh. Hope you like it that way also. A 500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 48 hours and the balance within 7 day's. I am a Kansas dealer so Kansas residents need to add 8.8% sales tax. Other states pay in your home state. It's sold with Implied warranty only meaning the buyer payes for all repairs. I currently have the truck in North Kansas City, Mo where I'm moveing to if you want to look. I can also have it back in Hiawatha, ks whichever is easier.  Thanks, Scott 816-506-3789

 I just drove the truck and the generator does work as do the park lights and headlights.   I want to add  the truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thanks again, Scott      4/14/2013     I wanted to add I change the wheels are now late model 15 inch pickup  all the way around. It did have earlier smoothies for early hubcaps. It's selling with the late model wheels. I have washed the oxidation off and I'm getting ready to polich the front if the weather will stay nice.   Thanks, Scott
