1948 Restomod Automatic

Description

We could tell you how special a 1948 Ford F-1 is because it's the first year for the Ford F-Series pickups, but you can instantly see this one is far more unique than just its history. As you look over every inch of this truck, you realize it has been customized from all angles so that it grabs attention. So check out the paint, interior, custom suspension, performance V8, and all the other pieces that make this custom an irresistible buy. Take your time looking over the exterior, because someone sure took their time creating the custom look. No one will mistake this F-1 for a workhorse with inches chopped from the steel cab, the custom steel one-piece front end, and the aggressive stance that's aided by the adjustable air ride suspension. All of this is amplified thanks to an investment in a modern Pepper Gray that makes this Ford look like a direct relative of the Eleanor Mustang. And its performance attitude is undeniable with the sleek presentation from all the expertly deleted trim. In fact, places that traditionally have polished brightwork - like the grille and wheels - have officially gone over to the dark side for even more aggression. And as people dare get closer to this custom street machine, they'll also appreciate the details, like the tonneau covers, smooth tailgate, and integrated LED taillights. So it might look mean, but you also know this one is really out to win over everyone in the crowd. Pop the remote door openers, and the suicide doors reveal even more custom work on the inside. It starts with the black ultraleather seats that have true individual comfort. This one has been purposely built with a minimalist old-school attitude. That's why you get a full midnight-style presentation on the custom interior panels. And it's only broken up by bright wood-like pieces on the custom sports steering wheel and full gauge panel. But this uncluttered appearance does not mean you're missing out on amenities - they are just well-integrated. There are power window switches underneath the dash; the AM/FM/CD stereo is mounted in the headliner; and the controls for air conditioning is behind a glovebox door. When you tilt the hood forward, you can instantly see there was plenty invested in the engine bay, too. The smooth painted walls funnel all your attention to the 350 cubic-inch motor. This V8 has the right features like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, upgraded pulleys, an aluminum radiator w/electric fan, and headers that feed a wicked set of side pipes. The power gets to the ground through a stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end. And while you already know you have a full air ride suspension, you should also check out the rest of the hardware in the undercarriage photos. This includes an independent front suspension with power steering, sway bar, and front disc brakes. In the rear is a reinforced four-link to make sure that ultra-wide rubber stays firmly on the pavement. A custom pickup built to grab all the attention, and it has the right features to be comfortable even on the long trips. That's a recipe for being known at all the car shows. And this one is ready to start this weekend, so don't miss out. Call today!!!
