1948 Ford F1 1/2 ton short bed 2WD pickup truck with original 95 HP 226 straight 6 and bullet proof 4 speed on the floor transmission. This Nevada FARM truck has been well maintained through the years and is rust free in the cab and floor boards. It has the original 1948 factory assembly line date on the fire wall. All of the gauges in the instrument panel function properly. The engine was rebuilt about 25,000 miles ago and does not smoke, use oil or run hot. The carb was recently rebuilt and the truck starts right up each time and runs strong. The drive train has been well maintained using Amsoil in the rear end, trans and engine. This truck is not a fake barn find, it's a maintained original truck. There is no rust in the cab or floors. There are some flaked rust spots near the grille as seen in the photos. The wonderful patina on the hood is superficial rust only, no flaking or thin spots. All the glass is good no cracks. The headlight wiring harness needs to be replaced and many of the original wires are brittle so plan on a new wiring harness down the road. The tires are fine but getting dry and should be replaced if running on the highway. The truck was painted Hugger orange in the 1970s. Would make a great rat rod shop truck or continue on as a family ranch truck. I have the clear Nevada title in hand. PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO LINKS BELOW. I filmed two walk around videos of the exterior and interior. Click or paste the following links to your browser and walk with me. I'm happy to answer all questions and may end the auction if it sells locally. Whoever gets our little farm truck will be happy. It's not perfect but shows its age and patina well and has withstood the test of time. http://youtu.be/oS4a1WzmAv0 http://youtu.be/2aTycV0JmvQ If you're wondering if you saw this truck for sale within the last few weeks, the previous auction winner backed out due to financial constraints.
