1952 Ford F1 Pick Up Truck

This truck has been family owned since the 1970's. It had been used mostly as a farm truck, been well take care of and was not used a great deal. It was passed down through the family over the years and was eventually left to the previous owner by his uncle who sadly passed a while back. He then only used it occasionally and over the 3 or so years he owned it he resprayed it satin black and also re-did the bed. 

Since I have owned the truck I have taken it to several classic car shows in the Chicago Land area. It always receives a lot of attention and always gets the thumbs up while driving it around.

The following has been installed new
  • distributor cap
  • rotor arm
  • condenser
  • breaker points
  • spark plugs
  • new spark plug wire set  
I have set the timing and she starts and runs strong and idles like a sewing machine. 

Also new 
  • 2 new Cherry Bomb mufflers
  • glass in passenger doors and back window - you may notice the drivers door glass has since cracked (easy fix though)
  • rear lights
  • battery is quite new
  • the bed was re-done early this year
As you can see from the pictures apart from the fantastic satin black spray job it is all pretty much original. The truck was once red and inside the cab it still shows that color. It still has the original Ford Flat head V8 engine and the transmission is the original manual shift three on a tree. 
It is also still running the original 6 volt electrics with all the exterior lights, indicators, horn and dash gauges working great. (no dash lights working though)

  • Transmission/clutch shifts good 
  • Brakes work good
  • Handbrake works good
  • Runs cool 
  • Steering is tight (not sloppy)
  • No oil or water leaks
  • No rips or tears in seats (couple of small holes in door panels)
The tyres are bias ply wide white walls with plenty of tread but do show some age. Also included is a spare wheel with the same size and condition white wall too.

This truck is SOLID and has only surface rust underneath. The previous owner did cut out rust and weld plates in the cab corners and did a nice job so no problems there. The body is straight as an arrow, NO dents, No holes or dings. There is however, a small amount of rust holes, just inside the drivers side cab on the floor near the door and also small holes at the bottom of both doors....these are minor repairs though! (shown in pics)
The drivers side window does not go up and down very well and I think the lift inside the door will need replacing (it does stay closed once up though. The glass in that door is also cracked. Both doors open, shut and lock fine.

Overall this is a nice running and driving clean truck that starts first time and gets A LOT of attention on the road and at shows. It would be an excellent candidate for a full restoration or just drive and enjoy as is. 

My garage is full hence the reluctant sale of this fantastic 52 Ford F1.

I can work with your shipper if needed - Inspections welcome.

Bid with confidence check my feedback!

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.
