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.
Traditional hot rods don’t get much more authentic than a Model A Hi-Boy powered by a Flathead V8. Built in the spirit of the early California hot rodding movement, this 1930 Ford Model A Hi-Boy Roadster Hot Rod blends period-correct components with exceptional craftsmanship to create a timeless machine. Showing approximately 6,508 miles, this Brookville all-steel-bodied roadster was displayed at the prestigious 2015 Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS), a testament to the quality of its construction. From its Mercury Flathead V8 and Halibrand quick-change rear end to its unmistakable Hi-Boy stance, this roadster is an outstanding example of traditional hot rodding done right.
For generations of hot rod enthusiasts, the 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe has represented one of the most desirable foundations for a custom build. Its sweeping fenders, chopped-looking roofline, and unmistakable grille have made it an icon of American street rodding, inspiring countless award-winning creations. This 1933 Ford Model B 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod takes that legendary formula and pairs it with the durability of a Gibbon Fiberglass Reproductions body, a proven Chevrolet 350ci V8, and modern amenities that make it far more enjoyable to drive than an original. Showing approximately 3,702 miles since completion, this black coupe with custom flame graphics is equally suited for weekend cruises, national rod runs, or earning attention wherever it parks.
Ford’s Crestline represented the top of the company’s passenger car lineup during the early 1950s, and the Skyliner remains one of the most recognizable variants thanks to its distinctive factory-tinted transparent roof panel. This 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the charm that made these cars so memorable. Showing approximately 57,814 miles, it blends classic 1950s styling with a more dependable 302ci Ford V8, making it an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate vintage looks paired with improved drivability. Finished in an eye-catching Coral exterior over a matching White and Coral interior, this Skyliner stands out wherever it goes and is ready to be enjoyed at cruises, local shows, or weekend drives.
