1949 Ford F1

Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to digitally present this 1949 Ford F1.

After World War II, Ford's wartime effort toward producing B-24 bombers, jeeps, tank engines, and other military hardware ended. When civilian passenger cars and trucks were put back into production, Ford had the same truck and car design since 1941. After the 1947 Model Year was introduced, a completely new design was planned, which could appeal to various applications, extending further than just having a single purpose. The development objective included making driving easier with a comfortable and roomier cab. When introduced, Ford's new truck would be the only truck featuring an all-new post-war design. Ford departed from sharing a common platform with its passenger lineup and developed a purpose-built truck frame specifically for the F-Series.

That was then, but this is now. This performance-focused build propels the '49 F1 into the modern age with many upgrades improving performance, comfort, and drivability! From the outside, you will already be able to tell this is not your grandparents' F1!

This classic Ford F1 is Painted in a bright blue, with blue accent-matched 20" Fuel Wheels, along with blackout treatment where the Chrome used to be. A Nice wooden bed adorns the rear, Open the doors and you take your seat in the new custom blue suede bench seat, you will know you are in for a treat. The classic 13" Grant Wood Banjo-style steering wheel sits on an Ididit tilt steering column, helping smoothy turn the Rack & Pinion power steering rack. The dash cluster keeps a period-correct look. A nice Bluetooth Audio system and Vintage AC controls are just a short reach away to keep the cab comfortable and full of your favorite songs.

Turn the key and let the Ford 302 Light up the back tires, When ready to hit the streets, grab the Lokar shifter and put the 3 Speed Automatic transmission in gear. The sound of the rumble resonates through a true dual exhaust. All that power turns the gears in the Ford 9" rear end. 20" wheels on the front and rear give you plenty of wide Toyo STIII tire contact to put down the power this truck has. disc brakes on the front bring this all to a stop safely so you can load up the varnished wood bed.
