This beautiful fully restored 1950 Ford Truck is a Canadian F47 Model, which is the same as the U.S Version F1 Truck.

The manual transmission was refreshed with new seals and bearings, new clutch disc, pressure plate and release bearing and the flywheel was properly machined.

The front and rear suspension was completely rebuilt to better than new.
The original non power 4 wheel drum brakes were replaced with an upgraded Front Power Disc brake conversion kit.
