Noob here...first post, and questions
Hey guys...I've been wanting a '48-'50 Ford Truck for a long time, and am finally getting serious about getting one to tinker with (As if the painfully slow restoration on my '61 VW crew-cab isn't enough pain and agony lol).
I want a 1/2 or 3/4 ton, and I can't find a website with any info on stock specs such as their weight etc.
Can anyone hook me up?
Thanks!

Welcome MConstable-
Although I don't know much on the 48-50 trucks there are several others on the forum who will be along to help you out. Try a search also and you will probably get more reading material than you will want.

Only funnin, this is a great group and very helpful to boot! Pull up a chair and set a while, we have cookies!

But anyways, welcome aboard. As you'll hopefully learn, this is a pretty good group and a wealth of information. Feel free to ask away with questions, but try to do a search first since a lot of things have been brought up before.
As far as specs, I can't help too much with the 48-50's (I'm a 1952 fan).. but I do have a stack of resources for the 52's (51's). If you have specific questions ask.

My suggestion would be to look for a repro copy of the "Operators Manual F Series Bonus Built Trucks dated 3/9/49. It will have all of the Spec info you are looking for. Also, take a look at getting a repro shop manual. Together these will cost under $50.00 and they are a wealth of information.
Curb weight was not listed in either though.
