Selling a Gorgeous, Super RARE Burgundy 1948 Ford F-1 Stake body pickup. I have been around awhile and have been to a ALOT of car shows and have never seen another one quite like this. This truck is the most prized of  my Grandfather's personal collection, and a show winner!  He purchased the truck back in 1978 (possibly from the original owner) and had the truck fully restored in 1998, with now less than 3k miles on the fully rebuilt engine. He has enjoyed driving the truck  to shows and parades a few times a year since restoration. Garage kept and driven on sunny days only!. Meticulously maintained truck! Truck bed is truly a work of art, restored personally by my Grandpa who is a Master woodworker. Bed floor is solid oak, stake sides shown in photos are solid oak stakes with Beech wood slats. Also included with the truck but not shown is a complete set of full length and height side boards made of oak. The body on the truck is absolutely perfect with no rust or evidence of body work anywhere.  The only blemish in the paint I could find is on the driver's front fender that was scratched at a local car show last fall. (see photo) The running boards are truly awesome. They were New old stock parts in the original box installed when the restoration was complete. Truck has correct wheels and hubcaps with matching Firestone Bias Ply tires. I can see myself in the paint on the wheels! Very Good tread as this truck sees very few miles per year. The odometer reads 6375. We are uncertain if this is the original mileage due to the age of the truck and the full restoration performed. The interior is nearly perfect and correct. Everything functions as it should. The engine is the original 239 Flathead V8 with single barrel carburetor. Transmission is original 4 speed with Granny low gear. Tan vinyl seat and headliner is in very good condition as seen in photos. All switches, knobs, indicators function correctly. Regular maintenance has been performed religiously.  This truck needs nothing to be enjoyed and showed now! I would not be surprised if this truck won awards your first time out! My grandfather would like the truck  to go to a good home to someone who will enjoy it as much as he has. You will not find another truck like this anywhere!  New York State does not issue titles for vehicles of this age, so the new owner will receive a transferrable registration and a bill of sale. Vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Serious buyers can e-mail me and I will give you the owner's phone number for questions.
