show me your 48'-52' f-1 pictures

Here's a few pics of my '48. Last one from this spring, hood was off only because I had just finished rewiring it.

 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Dont mess with the patina on this truck!!!

 

Still working on the body work, but getting closer.

 

Patina?? That there is RUST.

 

Just to give an idea of what it looks like. This was the mock up stage.

 

Here are a few F-1s for ya.

A pair of 50's at the MAVERICKS drive in.

 

thears got to be more 48-52 f-1's out there than that. thanks...

 

Btt

 

Looks like a lot of inspiration here. Gettin closer on the F-1, but still finding a lot more to do. Gonna be a warm weekend with a bit of sun, better get out to the garage.

 

Picked these up a couple weeks ago. Went to look at one and the guy really wanted me to have the 2nd one too.

 

Here's one of mine, doesn't look like it but it runs and moves under its own power now!

 

Just decieded to paint my old ford.

 

My Fiddy panel





Shoe

 

finished the paint on my f-1 put alittle age on it.

 

Probably the only one I should'nt have sold...........

 

Here's my '51, got the frame and cab painted, and the engine fired up, then we had another baby so things have been stalled a bit....

 

Your daughter is a cutie,I hope she can say truck better than my son at that age. Just use your imagination. My first 50 had my sons name on drivers door and daughters on pass side. That was back in the day when Ill. trucks had to have owners name and city on both doors. How may can remember that fact?

 

Here's mine Used 50 F7 cab & hood on 52 frame & grill with 305 sbc

 

as found, 44.000 miles complete with knobby tires






Cleaned up and 15" radials added







What she was made for

Here is our Father -Son project started in 2004 and now a reliable driver.We did a complete tear down and replaced and restored as necessary. Since that time Jake enlisted in the army and served 12 months in combat and was sent to Italy where he will be stationed for the next 3 months and then be sent to Ft. Bliss in Elpaso where he will finish out his 5 year term.It was one of the best times to be able to teach him all the in and outs of restoreing the old truck and now being able to see him at the wheel again all safe and sound for this Christmas. Its one of the most rewarding projects I have done in my life.

 

Update on this old Ford, all the metal work is finished, the mechanicals are wrapped up, and as of this week it has a new owner. Should be a neat truck when finished.

 

Here are some of my favorites pics from past shows...
