Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner.

 Offered for auction are TWO 1948 Ford F model Trucks - one is an F3 and is nearly complete, including the stock Flathead engine.  The other is an F5 with cab, fenders and hood on two ton frame.  It does not have engine or trans.  These cabs will likely interchange with 1948, 1949, 1950 and perhaps '51 and '52 cabs. 

The F5 has been in the family since the 1950s and is very low mileage and virtually rust free (cab, floorboards, etc, with minor surface rust)  The F3 was purchased many years ago to perhaps renew the use of the F% or to run separately.  It is, as you can see (the red one) unrestored. 

The F3 one ton is also very nearly rust free, except in the base of the box and the floor of the box itself.

Both trucks have dents and the dash of the F5 was modified to accept a later radio many years ago.

No attempt has been made to crank the flathead engine and so no assertions regarding it can be made, except that it is intact and accessories are present.

The two are both candidates for restoration, perhaps with other parts. Either would greatly help an otherwise good running truck that needed a solid cab - which both of these are.

Both cabs have broken glass and dents.  The hood of the F5 is probably damaged beyond anything but a major rehab.

I have only one title - for the F5, and will supply "AS IS" Bill of Sale for all parts (both identified trucks)

I will also accommodate the dismantling of the F5 if the buyer wants only the sheet metal parts (for a fixed additional cost we can discuss and agree upon ahead of time.)   


The Pluses:

* The F3 is nearly complete.  I may miss noting the absence of a few parts, but they will be small ones. 

* You might see on the surface of the two cabs but it is just that, a thin layer of easily removable surface rust.

* These are Montana vehicles, for at least the past 40 years.  As such, much of the corrosion and rust issues of other regional cars is not there.

*  Some of the flat glass may need replacing, but then that is no problem.

* There is a clear title in my hot little hand.

The frame,  rocker panels and underbelly appear to be very solid.  The trucks appear to have never been wrecked or substantively repaired.  There is no visible bondo or other filler anywhere.

The Negatives:

* There is isolated rust.  The bed of the F3 has rust on the sides of it.  both floor pans seem very solid, indeed. 

* There are a couple of the flat glass windows which are cracked - easily replaceable just about anywhere.

* There are a number of minor dents and the F5 hood, espceially, is pretty dinged. 

* The interiors are largely complete.  Some of the nobs and handles are missing. 

* It needs all the standard attention any unrestored 60 odd-year old trucks would likely need.

This is an awesome project package or very nice replacement cabs for rolling stock you may have.

Please look at the pictures and let me know if you need more.  I would be happy to respond to individual issues and questions.

This is an actual AUCTION.  I do have a very low reserve on the vehicles, but it is half what one might expect for this model in this condition.  Bid to win!

Buyer is responsible for transportation of the car from my doorstep, but I will assist in any way I can.

A deposit of $500 is expected within 24 hours of the end of the auction via PayPal unless arranged otherwise in advance.  The entire balance is due with PayPal, cash or bank wire within 14 days of the end of the auction.  

The vehicles do not leave until funds are cleared and personal and cashier’s checks are not OK.

You MAY leave the trucks, once paid for, here until July 8, 2013, giving you an opportunity to come get the car as part of a vacation to MONTANA.  See Glacier Park, just 85 miles away (and leave the trailer here for when you are ready to load up and go home), tour through Yellowstone coming or going; visit the Lewis and Clark Trail or float the most scenic parts of the Upper Missouri River.  Come, Play, and take a new project away when you head home.

Please look at my many years of 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK and BID WITH CONFIDENCE.  I have bought several cars and hundreds of car parts on Ebay over the years and will certainly try to treat you the way I'd like to be treated
