Ford’s popular F-Series that is available today and in the fourteenth generation, was born in 1948. It was aimed at mobilizing American small businessholders, farmers and those engaged in trade. For the first generation, the range started with the F-1 which was a half-ton pickup truck. It had a 6.5-foot cargo bed, and sat at just 189 inches long; shorter than many full-size luxury cars of today. Over time, the F-1 has become a cherished classic and a symbol of American freedom – because it allowed you to take your family to market, with your goods for sale in the truck bed. This particular 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build is a little different, as it’s a restomod with a host of upgrades. Residing in California and having just 13,367 miles since its rebuild, this truck is ideal for someone who wants classic style tastefully combined with modern features and performance.
Exterior and Interior
This 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build wears a color called Razeberry Plub, which is a new paint job that the truck received during its makeover. A set of silver aftermarket alloy wheels in mag style add a modern vibe to the truck’s otherwise retro exterior outlook, and we can see that it sits a little lower than stock thanks to air suspension. All the truck’s chrome parts such as its headlamp surrounds, grille elements, rear-view mirrors and badges gleam beautifully, and you’ll also note that the cargo bed has been redone in wood with metal strips. The interior of this 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build features a glide seat, an IDIDIT steering column, a Lokar shifter, an aftermarket steering wheel, and most usefully, air conditioning. Yes, you can be chilled as you drive along in this beauty, even on the hottest Summer afternoons. Other interior features of note include a retro-modern gauge cluster, and the addition of sun visors.
Engine
There’s a Dart 434 short block engine under the hood of this 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build, producing a reported 560 horsepower and sending it to the rear wheels via a 700R4 automatic transmission with 3000 stall speed, and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 4.30 gears and Positraction. Then, we find an aluminum electric radiator fan, and dual Holley Sniper EFI throttle bodies. That’s not all; the engine benefits from elements such as a 4340 steel crank, hydraulic roller springs, Maley pushrods, and Magnum competition 7/16 ARP roller rockers. Other highlights of this vehicle include a Mustang II front end, electrically-assisted brakes with discs at the front, and new suspension.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you were to consider dipping your toe into the classic car waters, would you be interested in following a path less taken? Everyone goes for the signature American classics that tend to be muscle cars, pony cars or land yachts. But what about a good old true blue pickup truck from the Fifties? This would be a very historically significant statement to make, because pickup trucks have underpinned the American economy in more ways than you’d know. Since World War II ended, these vehicles have played a key part in helping small and medium business owners move their produce, and their families as well. Today’s 1952 Ford F-1 comes from the first generation of Ford’s popular F-Series of pickup trucks, a series that you can still buy today, albeit in its fourteenth generation. While we know the F-150 as the half-tonner, and our parents may recall that the F-100 held this mantle earlier on, the very first F-Series half-tonner was simply called the F-1! This truck currently resides in Port St. Lucie but is looking for a new owner. With just 48,000 miles on the clock, a Flathead V8 and rear-wheel drive, it’s definitely a classic worth conserving, and driving every now and then.
The Ford F-1 is the genesis for the F-series line of trucks - a line that has spawned the most popular type of pickup in the world. And after years in the spotlight, there are plenty of examples around. Whether you’re into immaculate period-correct restorations, honest workhorses, or madly modified restomods, there’s likely an F-1 out there for you. Our featured 1951 Ford F-1 is very much a restomod, with a stunning exterior and some surprises under the hood as well. Featuring a rebuilt 305ci Chevrolet engine and transmission that were reportedly completed less than 3,000 miles ago, this black-on-black pickup is based in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
The first-generation Ford F-100 is one of the most recognizable classic pickups ever built, and this 1956 Ford F-100 has been tastefully transformed into a custom street truck while retaining the timeless styling that made these trucks legendary. Under the hood is a 351ci Windsor V8 bored .060 over with a mild cam, paired with an automatic transmission for an enjoyable blend of classic V8 performance and effortless drivability. Finished in a custom gray and white two-tone paint scheme with shaved bodywork and a personalized bed, this F-100 combines vintage Ford heritage with the clean styling and comfort expected from a well-executed custom build.
The Ford Galaxie 500 was one of the Blue Oval's flagship full-size models during the golden age of American motoring, combining handsome styling with V8 power and comfortable cruising manners. This 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible is an excellent example of that formula, showing approximately 36,156 miles on the odometer. Powered by Ford's legendary 390ci V8 backed by the durable C6 automatic transmission, this convertible offers effortless performance while benefiting from tasteful upgrades that enhance its drivability. Finished in vibrant Red with a matching interior and a White convertible top, this Galaxie is equally at home cruising the boulevard or turning heads at local car shows.
The 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra represents the car that launched Ford's Special Vehicle Team and instantly became one of the most collectible Fox-body Mustangs ever built. Produced for a single model year in limited numbers, the SVT Cobra featured exclusive styling, upgraded suspension, larger brakes, and a specially tuned version of the legendary 5.0L High Output V8. This example has an astonishing 6,196 miles, making it an exceptionally well-preserved survivor that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Finished in Black over an Opal Gray leather and cloth interior, this Cobra offers collectors and enthusiasts the opportunity to own one of the most significant performance Mustangs of the modern era.
