Kevin - Pretty sure he's in Edinburg. I too have seen him driving around in the pickup, and know there's a panel of the same era sitting down there. Stu

What a beautiful truck,my first f1 was a 51 with a 6cyl & 4 speed
the floor in the bed was gone,the seat had holes in it,the emergency
brake cable was broken & the handle was frozen,speedometer did not
work,& a bunch of other things were wrong with it but IT WAS MINE!!!!

 

Great truck--my first in-laws were from Bellevue,Ill nice town--that is one pretty truck

 

Jeff,

The more I look at the pics you took the more I think that is one of the best original F-1's I've seen. I'd love to talk to the owner about it as I'm going for original on my 48. Any idea on wheel/tire size? I like the look of what he's running.

Send you a PM on the auction on Saturday in Fairbury, IL.

Rob

 

hmmm .. fairbury . they still got the dirt track up there ???????????

 

Kevin, your really starting to scare me... What and more importantly, why are you using a pic of my mother-in-law as your avitar??? LOL

 

ooooooohhhhhhhhh you are in trouble now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your mother in law is a male and lives in my back yard then eh ????????? kinda strange me thinks ................................

 

I was thinking they were 16" wheels but i will find out when i deliver that flat 6 to him. i have a phone number for him, but i need to ask if thats ok.(to give it out)
I would like to think he would be flattered! but some people are different ya know?
edit: he kinda gave me the "*******".....something about his teeth....almost cannibalistic....yeah just kinda freaky..

Yes, the dirt track in Fairbury is still going strong. Got to one race last year... good time!

Jeff from your description I won't be going to look at that truck alone. Will have to ride along with you and Nicolle!

Rob

 

Sweet truck.

 

When I shopped for a F100 I didn't see any on the road. Now that I am working slowly on one I spot them everywhere. Heck, the closest motorcycle shop has one in the yard with some other project cars and trucks. I need to ask about that now that I spotted it.
