Why do automotive enthusiasts embark down the restomod route? There are a variety of reasons. Maybe one wants a unique and distinctive vehicle that tastefully melds vintage and modern aspects. Maybe it’s just too hard to restore a classic vehicle to its period-correct style due to certain factors. Whatever the reason, restomods such as this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup are undoubtedly desirable vehicles, and the nature of a restomod means that every one is unique. Boasting just 400 miles after a reported full frame-off restoration, it’s ready for a second life.
A red paint job is always eye catching, and this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup doesn’t disappoint with its Viper Red paint job that proudly shows off that Fifties design, which is all the more special, as this is the first generation of the Ford F-Series! Custom tail lights and rear bumper meld beautifully with the custom tail gate that opens to reveal an oak wood and stainless steel bed that you won’t want to dirty! Polished five-spoke alloys hide four-wheel power disc brakes behind them. The interior is in gray, and includes power windows, air conditioning, new seats and a modern JVC head unit with CD, MP3 and AUX connectivity for a fresh and funky listening experience. Even the gauges are old-style units, but look closer and you can see a digital odometer among the analog speedometer, and the old-style fonts have been silk-screened. Metal pedals and a chromed gear lever are present, as is three-spoke wood-rimmed Grant GT steering wheel.
The first generation of Ford F-Series came with in-line sixes, Flathead V8s and Y-block V8s, but this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup eschews all of those for a 350ci (5.7L) Corvette V8 with 350hp sent to the rear wheels via a TCI 350 automatic transmission and 3.73 rear end. Rack and pinion power steering means that you don’t need to exert much to steer this truck, and coil over suspension ensures a smooth ride. A custom fuel tank holds ample fuel for plenty of cruising.
