1952 FORD F1 SHORT BOX. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN LOVINGLY RESTORED. NO EXPENSE SPARED. IVE SEEN ALOT OF PATINA TRUCKS AT THE SHOWS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. THERE COOL, HOWEVER I LIKE LOOKING AT THE STUFF THATS BEEN FINISHED. THIS TRUCK WAS FINISHED IN 2010 AND HAS RACKED UP OVER 2600 MILES GOING TO THE DIFFRENT SHOWS AND CRUISE INS. ITS BEEN FROM PIGEON FORGE TO THE DREAM CRUISE IN MICHIGAN. NO MATTER WHERE IT GOES IT ALWAYS WINS SOME KIND OF AWARD. THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALY FROM THE SOUTH WITH VERY LITTLE RUST TO START. IT WAS PULLED COMPLETLY APART AND THE THINGS THAT WERE NOT GOING TO BE USED WERE SCRAPED. 1ST THING TO GO WAS THE ORIGINAL FRAME. IT WAS DITCHED FOR AN AFTERMARKET FRAME FROM FATMAN, THAT HAS BEEN PAINTED AND IS NICLEY DONE. THIS USES ALL GM SUSPENSION AND HARDWARE. SO GM POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, REAR END AND DRIVE LINE. THE ENGINE IS A 1966 327 WITH A TURBO 350 TRANS. THE ENGINE IS BUILT FOR STREET DUTY RATHER THAN BEING BETTER SUITED FOR THE DRAG STRIP. THE REAR END HAS A RICHMOND 3.08 GEAR SET SO ITS NOT KILLING IT WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ITS REALLY QUITE HAPPY RUNNING ALONG AT 70MPH. NOW FOR THE PAINT AND BODY. THAT WAS SENT OUT AND SODA BLASTED. ALL THE DENTS AND DINGS WERE REMOVED BEFORE GOING TO THE PAINT SHOP. THE PAINT IS BASE/CLEAR AND IT IS PHENOMENAL! NO PATINA HERE! IT WAS WET SANDED AND BUFFED TO A PERFECT SHINE. WHEN YOU RUN YOUR FINGERS DOWN THE PAINT ITS TRULY SLICKER THAN GLASS. AND IT HAS BEEN HAND BLOCKED TWICE BEFORE IT WAS PAINTED SO THE SURFACES ARE FLAT AND TRUE. THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK IS DIFFRENT THAN THE OTHER F1s OUT THERE. THE GRILL IS A ONE OFF, DOLLY AND HAMMERED PIECE. LOOK AT THE OTHER TRUCKS FRONT ENDS, TOTALLY DIFFRENT. THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK HAS BEEN KEPT SIMPLE. I HATE SEEING ALL THOSE STREET RODS WITH ALL THAT TWEED THAT LOOKS OUT OF PLACE. THIS HAS THE ORIGINAL SEAT THAT HAS BEEN REDONE WITH SOME PERIOD CORRECT MATERIAL. HAND BOUND CARPETS AND MATCHING DOOR PANELS TO THE SEAT. IT HAS A SET OF MODERN GUAGES THAT ARE FROM DOLPHIN AND EVER BIT OF IT WORKS PERFECT. ALL THE GLASS IS EXCELLENT AND THE BODY LINES ARE BETTER THAN WHEN IT WAS NEW. OAK FLOORING FINISHES OFF THE BED AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL. MODERN WIRING WAS USED THROUGH OUT ALONG WITH LED LIGHTING. TORQUE THRUST II WHEELS ROUND EVERY THING OFF. AS FAR AS RUNNING AND DRIVING ,TOUCH THE KEY AND IT COMES TO LIFE. PUT IT IN GEAR AND YOUR GONE. NOTHING TO TINKER WITH NOTHING TO FIX. DRIVES STRAIGHT BRAKES STRAIGHT. OVERALL A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK THAT ANYONE WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SOMTHING TO BEAT AT YOUR LOCAL DRAG STRIP, LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE.. IF YOUR LOOKING TO ENJOY CRUISING AND GOING TO CARSHOWS, YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR TRUCK..
