This 1952 F-1 Pulls Out All the Stops

This 1952 F-1 Pulls Out All the Stops
By Jeffrey Bausch

A super-fan of early model Ford F-1’s invested a ton of time and money into upgrading this 1952 model. Take a look at all the improvements!

Details like the sagging door handle, front fender radius, and hood fitment bring it down imho. Nice color though.

These articles appear to be nothing more than ads for Streetside. What value do they bring to us at FTE?

These trucks the Curated Content Editor, whatever that is, shows us just solidifies my belief that our regular old down to earth trucks, stock or modified are much better than these expensive professionally done trucks.

Ross, I wonder the same thing. I looked through five pages of his (or her's) posts and they are ALL nothing but external links.
Not a paid member or sponsor either, so this appears to be Ford-related commercial spam to me.

Nice paint job but the color is a bit too wild for me. And I never have been a fan of the Dakota-style cloth seats, but they are probably good in the "sand states" where sitting on dark leather or vinyl can be an experience never to be forgotten. And is that a chevy engine? It certainly isn't a flathead.

I believe these "Curated Content Editors" are actually PAID to "write" these posts. See the ads at the top of each page, "Would you like to contribute news to the FTE homepage? ...Apply to be a PAID writer for Ford Trucks here"
