1948 Ford F2 ¾-Ton 4×4 Truck Restomod

If you desire a truck with classic looks but modern amenities, MotoExotica Classic Cars has the ride for you. We’re pleased to present this 1948 Ford F2 ¾-ton 4×4 Truck Restomod.

The truck’s red paint, custom pinstriping with the Kirby’s Auto Service livery and trim are all in excellent condition. The windows are clear and intact while the truck’s lights are in excellent order, even the headlights with eyelid trims.

The truck’s bodywork is very straight and solid; it rides a modern F-150 frame and has a tow truck bed behind the cab, minus the actual tow hook, cables and mounting arms. The corrugated metal bumpers, runningboards and tow bed look good and are all covered in a black, scratch-resistant coating.

The truck rides high on Hankook Dynapro MT tires, size LT305/70R16 at all four corners. Each tire is wrapped around a seven-hole, chrome wheel and the front wheels have locking hubs. On either side of the tow bed there are two smaller wheels wearing Carlisle Sure Trail ST rubber, size 4.80-8.

Under the vented hood is a built 390 CID Ford V-8 breathing via dual exhausts that exit ahead of the rear wheels and the engine is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and three-speed transfer case. Driver convenience features include power steering with tilt column, power brakes and power windows. There is also air-conditioning but it is incomplete.

Inside, the cab has been modernized. The bench seat is in excellent order and it is covered in white vinyl on the sides in the center with red cloth seating surfaces for the driver and one passenger. The black carpet looks fantastic while the black headliner is in very good order. The three-spoke aftermarket steering wheel looks great and flanks an instrument panel full of digital gauges. The dash and inner door liners are in all in excellent order. The only lever on the floor is for the transfer case so the cab could fit three people if needed.

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 and a wider cab. Options included the “See-Clear” windshield washer (operated by foot plunger), passenger-side windshield wiper and sun visor and passenger-side taillight. For 1948, the Ford trucks featured wider, longer and taller cabs.

Competition to this F2 in 1948 included Chevrolet’s FR ¾-ton, Dodge’s B1-C ¾-ton GMC’s New Design Series ¾-ton trucks.
