Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
I purchased this old truck yesterday (01/01/2010) 'sight unseen.' I am trusting the description and the photos from an eBay classified ad. I need to secure storage space and I have arranged to leave the vehicle sheltered as it has been with the present owner. I hope to collect the truck later in March.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
They appear to be bias ply tires on original stock rims. I have not seen the old beast in person as yet. - This F1 does not have a stock rear bumper but has a solid looking step bumper with a hitch ball installed. It appears to have been a working truck as the old F1 trucks generally were.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
None except for a seat cover (according to the seller). It will need a major redo of the interior.
Future Modifications:
It will receive an ametuer restoration staying as close to original as possible. My skills, time and resources are limited, but I have always wanted a '51 as that was the year I was born and I first learned to drive in my dad's '51 pickup. I was just 8 or 9 years old and had to stand to reach the pedals as I drove it to collect hay from our hayfield. I am excited to be a new owner of an antique '51 F1 pickup! Read more ยป
