1948 Ford Other Pickups F-1 Description

Looking for the perfect Ford F-1 project truck? You found it!

This ’48 F-1 pickup was a South Dakota farm truck all its life until I bought it 2005 and shipped it to SC for restoration. The previous owner inherited it from his grandfather.

I’m now in Chicago and the resto has stalled so I’d like to find a good home for her. The body is currently disassembled and needs someone to finish up the paint and body on the cab and front end and put her back together – or put her back together like she is – and enjoy! Over $30K in the build so far.

I have lots of other pics of the new parts I can provide. Located in Greenville, SC. Easy access from the interstate.
