Projects Recent 1952 F1 acquisition.

Picked up this really pristine 52 F1 this morning. Original flathead v8 with 4 speed. Owner says he has drove the truck within the last 10 years. Minimal rust on the body.

Looks solid, doesn't even have all the extra holes in the doors for truckers mirrors! Stock motor, I see it has duals?

 

You have a "5 Star" cab … that's a good thing.

 

I love it.........

 

I'd replace the hoses, belts & wiper blades( tires also?), change all the fluids(grease all the fittings & pack the wheel bearings)), check the brakes for wear(adjust any "play" out of the steering), Then: Just drive & enjoy that beautiful "survivor" until I figured out what I REALLY wanted to do with it! WOW, A REAL "KEEPER"!!!

 

What determine a 5 Star cab??

Thanks, it’s a slick truck. Ya, first thing is out carburetor back on it, clean fuel system and replace the hoses. So how the old 239 sounds and runs.

I think the 5 Star cab had SS windshield trim, covered door panels, drivers door key and some extra fancy hood trim plus I’m sure other things I’m no expert.

All of the above plus dual inside armrests.

 

A 4 speed? Do you count reverse?

 

4 forward 1 reverse

It looks like a half ton. Didn't know they came with 4 speeds.

 

Extra padding in seat dual horns

 

You gonna wash it?

Sorry, just couldn't resist, you knew it was coming!
