1952 FORD TRUCK F2
Found this local listing for what looks to be a fairly solid F2, thought someone here may be interested...

 

Not too bad a deal (a little high), til I saw the VIN: 98RC-194655. Ain't no '52 title...

 

'Looks like F1 front fenders. Is the VIN pre-1951?

 

You guys are asking about the VIN? What the heck is that on the passenger seat???



$3,000 is a wicked great price to me. I spent close to that much on shipping good parts here to replace the missing or rotted out ones on my F2. (just about every part of the truck eventually)
But I sure wouldn't want to restore a truck that had a swapped out Vin.

9 = '49
8R = V8
C = F-1
194655 -- serial number

That truck has been on Ebay at least twice in the last month. I tried to buy it but wasn't going to pay $2000 for it. (especially if the guys girl friend wasn't included)

I noticed the f-1 front clip and the vin that didn't match the truck. Probably someone swapped a 51 52 cab and the front clip onto the earlier chassis is my best Guess. the truck is not as nice as the pictures show. the truck came out of Colorado originally, (or at least before it went to Socal)

Someone call and see what size the rear drums are? 12" or 14"
Also Note the E-brake handle on the left side of the cab.

and the next owners listing.

The guy has to sell his truck to finance his divorce. He is getting half. I think he chose wisely.

I knew I recognized those legs.

I believe at least one of the sellers is a member here.

 

Has a 51 hood (5 Star Extra).

 

Yep. I would have put it to good use.
