For sale is a very dry Colorado Ford F5 Cab Over truck. It’s a 1951. Recently pulled from long term storage, sitting for over 15 years. Thorough and honest photo link here: This F5 is a 1 1/2 ton chassis with the Ford Flathead Inline 6, 226 ci. Dually rear wheels. Headache rack welded on at some point, easily removable. This has the original Flathead 6 cylinder that came with it. Everything is there and complete. At this point I haven’t done anything to try and start it. Will go out when the weather is warmer and pull plugs and inspect. For the inside, the cab is very complete. With the exception of the seats being gone. Also, the inside of the truck smells fine, with no evidence of mice having been in it. Solid floors. The dash and gauges are all as original. Gauge glass is not cracked, there is some surface rust around the chrome trim rings. The radio is no longer there, but dash has not been cut. See the photos for the cab corners. Drivers side lower has a little rust, and p side fender has a welded seam on the outer edge. Bullet hole in the back driver side. The front bumper is remarkably straight with no dings or bends in it. For the glass, the driver side vent wing is missing, the rear is cracked. Good news is the windshield and side pieces are there and solid with no chips or cracks. The tires are all old, but holding air for rolling around. This still has the original rear axle, but pretty easy to swap in a newer dually axle with discs if you want to go that route. The rear driveshaft has a big kink in it so plan on replacing that. I can see this truck being taken in a few directions, any of them could turn out really cool... 1. Take it as it is, work on the drivability, add some seats, put on a flatbed and it's a nice and complete patina ranch/farm/shop truck.2. Install a winch behind the cab and a flatbed and make it a car hauler.3. Go Cab Over hot rod style and drop a big v8 motor or diesel in it and clear coat the patina and hot rod/drag race/whatever it to your liking. This F5 is sold WITHOUT a title, although it states "clear" above, and with a bill of sale. It's been out of the Colorado system for long enough (see the ‘73 plate) thatthe old title has been purged. Depending on your state rules this can be a relatively easy/inexpensive process. Ask questions before bidding if you are unsure. Available for local inspection in Boulder, Colorado. If you live far and needto have a transporter pick it up I can facilitate that. If you live in Colorado, delivery for a fee is possible.
