This is a 1949 Ford F1 Pickup Truck. I do not know a lot of the history of this truck, but i do know this truck is mostly original. It was restored about 10 years ago. I bought it after an estate sale. I will tell you honestly what i do know. It is equipped with a Flathead Ford V8 engine and a 3-speed manual transmission with the shifter on the floor. The engine starts easily and appears to fire on all cylinders .Compression is 105-115 PSI on all cylinders. The oil pressure is 35-50 lbs hot when checked with a Stewart Warner Gauge using fresh Valvoline 10w30 oil without any other additives. The factory oil gauge works well and is now being used. The Fuel and Temperature Gauges also work. The ammeter does not work. The transmission and rear axle seem to be ok. While much time and money has been spent on this truck, it is not perfect. It had not been driven for at least a year before i bought it. The clutch chatters somewhat, but is getting better the more it is driven. Also, the lifters tick. They are getting quieter as the truck has been driven. The front suspension feels somewhat loose, The master cylinder has been rebuilt and all the wheel cylinders and brake shoes have been replaced. Brake drums were turned. All new brake hoses. Radiator is in good shape and there are no coolant leaks. The gas tank has been boiled out and sealed with a ceramic sealer. All fuel lines are new, as is the fuel pump. The carburetor has been rebuilt. New fuel filter. Wiring is in good shape. This truck has a new factory style wiring harness. All glass appears to be new. Windows roll up and down easily. Air cleaner is included, but was removed for pictures. Bed floor is new. Running boards appear to be new. Please look at the pictures for more condition info. Better yet, inspect it yourself, or have someone you trust inspect it. I have a clear Florida title in my name. This is an as-is, where-is sale. Questions? I want you to be happy with your purchase.
