Vehicle Original VIN : 97HC230104
GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this stunning 1949 Ford F1 Pickup, finished in Ford's modern Sunburst Brown Metallic over a custom tan leather interior. The body was disassembled and meticulously painted inside and out, including custom front fender extensions to smooth out the original factory lines. A freshly finished wood bed with mini tubs and a chrome front bumper give this truck a vintage profile with a crisp, refined edge. It rides on a set of 17-inch chrome wheels with new front tires and brand-new glass all around, including custom one-piece side windows and fresh inner door hardware.
Power comes from a rebuilt 351 V8 mated to a smooth-shifting AOD automatic transmission and controlled via a B&M floor shifter. A Champion aluminum radiator keeps things cool, while the Mustang II front end adds rack and pinion power steering and power brakes for modern drivability. Underneath, you'll find a new driveshaft and what is believed to be a Ford 9-inch rear end. The entire brake, fuel, and electrical systems are brand new, giving this classic pickup the reliability to match its style.
Inside, you'll find a pair of Cadillac-sourced tan leather seats that feel as good as they look. A wooden steering wheel, Dolphin gauges, a color-matched headliner, and functional cowl vent all add to the custom-yet-classic feel. The battery is neatly tucked beneath the center console for easy access, and every switch and gauge has been replaced for a clean and functional driving experience.
This isn't just a restored Ford truck. It's a thoughtfully upgraded, tastefully built example that honors the original while improving every weak point along the way. Whether you're cruising local shows or just want a sharp, well-sorted pickup for weekend drives, this F1 delivers classic style with modern confidence.
