1955 Ford F1 Pickup

Wow is this Ford F1 a really nice truck. These second generation F-series trucks by Ford were built for a three short years and in my opinion one of the best looking. This would be the first time trucks had a adjustable seat and wide enough for three people which why the truck was marketed as “Triple Economy”. These F-series trucks were set out to upgrade the capability of the pick up truck all together with increased payload capacities, a more car like feel when cruising and improved safety features. This particular Ford is far from the way it came off the assembly except for the body which has obviously been body off restored with excellent paint. It features a Buick 455 Cubic inch V8 out of a 1972 Buick Riviera that has roughly 45,000 miles. It has a Mustang II front end, a Turbo 400 Automatic Transmission and sits just about perfect if you ask me. The interior has been upgraded and is very comfortable. All the gauges and lights work, the truck starts perfectly, idles perfectly, does not smoke or leak, shifts through the gears and overall goes down the road really nice. The chrome and brite-work look fantastic. This truck is a Show and Go unit that needs nothing to be enjoyed. It does have a heater but no A/C with a modern radio.
