Features Restoring 1950s Ford F1 Pickup

Hi everybody,

I´m from Germany and want to show how I´m restoring a 1950s Ford F1 Pickup.

 

And that´s the way he should look when it´s finished.

3 inch Lowering springs in the front and rear.
But he gets chromed front and rear bumpers, not as shown in the pics.

 

Get the first parts from powder coating.

 

That looks like a cool project. I'm guessing a 1950?

 

Test-mounted the new Red´s headers and removed the old gas tank.

 

Received the new exhaust with 3inch diameter and Flowmaster Super Serie44 mufflers.

 

Manufactured the complete exhaust by myself.

 

Received a big order from Speedway Motors.
Including new Offenhauser heads and intake with 2 carbs and a lots of other stuff.

 

@OahuEli: Yes. It´s a 1950 Ford F1.

 

Looks like you're well on your way. Good Luck!

 

WOW!!! Keep the pics coming.

 

The way one should build a truck like that.

 

Great choice on vehicles. Good start!

 

Today I started some patch panel work on the cab.

 

And again some more sheet metal work on the cab.

 

Impressive!

 

Wow, thats a lot of welding! Looking good so far.

 

Looks Good!

Where did you get your patch panels?

 

good job saving a cool truck

 

HI,

I ordered the patch panels (floor, cowl, rocker panels and the cab corners) at www.lmctruck.com and all the other panels I´m doing by myself.

And for the 1955 Buick I´m doing all the metalwork by myself. You can see it here: www.oldkustoms.com


Best regards
Marcel

 

Yesterday the rocker panel went in.
Also cut out the B-pillar and found some interesting stuff. A razor, a lock and a gas cap and a drill.

 

Thanks Marcel.

I'm mainly looking at the one that makes the corner of

- floorboard
- toeboard
- Base of Pillar at front of door

What is it called??
