1950 Ford F-1 Pickup Is the Definition of Cool

We’d like to get our hands on this fully restored piece of classic American steel.

There’s just something special about classic vehicles. Maybe it’s the detailed and sleek design, the sexy retro details, the iconic Ford history, the way they handle, or the heads that turn when you drive one. Classic trucks are our weakness, and so when we came across this cherry 1950 Ford F-1 on ClassicCars.com we had to wipe away our drool, and share.

This first generation F-series has been nicely restored. The custom blue and silver paint job is a solid choice. And the specs show it is loaded with a mix of both old and new; including a 302 V-8 engine, automatic 3-speed transmission, serpentine belt system, power steering, power brakes, front disc/rear drum brakes, dual Flowmaster exhaust with ceramic coated headers, frame box & powder coated, American racing wheels, a new bed, and more.

If you’re in the market, it is for sale for about $34K. But for the rest of us, we have to just admire this old school classic ride from afar.
