1948 FORD F-1 F-100 PANEL TRUCK 3.7L 226 CID 6 CYLINDER 4-SPEED MANUAL

Description

For sale we have a beautiful 1948 Ford F-1 Panel Truck. It has a 226 CID Flathead 6 cylinder engine and 4 speed trans with a granny gear. This panel truck runs and drives beautifully.

The 1948 features a wider, longer, and taller cab. The first F-Series truck (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in late 1947 (went on sale January 16, 1948) as a replacement for the pre-War designed Ford trucks. It had a flat, one-piece windshield and integrated headlamps. It had a wider cab. Options included the "See-Clear" windshield washer (operated by foot plunger), passenger-side windshield wiper & sun visor, and passenger-side taillight. The F-1 truck was also available with additional chrome trim and two horns as an option. All F-series were available with optional "Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive" until 1959.Design of the F-Series truck changed tremendously from 1950 to 1954. From 1948 to 1950, the grill was a series of horizontal bars and the headlights were set into the fenders. For 1951 and 1952, the headlights were connected by a wide aerodynamic cross piece with three similarly aerodynamic supports. The rear window was wider in these later trucks and the dashboard was redesigned. This new cab was called the "Five-Star Cab".The F-Series was sold in four basic models. Along with the pickup truck (F-1 through F3), the F-Series was sold as a panel truck (based on the pickup), COE/cab-over engine chassis (F-5 and F-6, branded C-Series) and school bus chassis (F-5 and F-6, branded B-Series). Above the F-5, the F-Series was a medium-duty and heavy-duty conventional truck sharing the bodywork of the smaller F-Series.

How many of these do you see around...? Not many. Well this one is very, very nice. The only thing it needs is a new home, I'm selling it due to lack of time.

Sold AS-IS, buyer is responsible for pick-up and I will help in any way I can. Thanks for looking!
