1950 F1

I (my wife) just inherited a 1950 F47 (F1 to my American friends) from my long-deceased Grandfather-in-law.
It's been parked, outside, with the cylinder heads off, since 1971. The engine still turns over, and the tires hold air!
We are really looking forward to restoring this old girl.

Looks like a great project, amazing that it still turns over after 54 years exposed to outdoor air!

Be sure to check out the 1948 - 1956 F1, F100 & Larger F-Series Trucks forum.
