The one that started it all, today’s Ford F-Series of pickup trucks can be directly traced back to 1948’s first generation. The first all-new design of pickup truck since World War II ended, the first generation F-Series was offered in multiple variants, with the F-1 bearing a capacity of ½ ton. This particular 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup is a little different, because it’s a restomod. The current owner tells us that the truck has received a frame-off restoration, plus a 305ci Chevy engine from a 1987 pickup with just 3,000 miles on it. That, plus many other refinements make this one excellent classic truck to own, drive, and cherish.
Painted in black, this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup sits noticeably lower than stock. That’s because of the 3-inch front axle drop, and 3-inch rear leaf spring suspension being lowered by the same amount as well. Then, you’ve got a set of 18-inch American Racing wheels with new Yokohama tires. Closer inspection also reveals some intricate red detailing along the black exterior, while as you’d expect, the truck’s eye-catching chrome elements have been restored to perfection. Before we enter its passenger cabin, let’s pause and appreciate the wood-lined cargo bed that’s definitely too beautiful to toss some cement bags or a load of two-by-four in. The interior of this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup provides some creature comforts that weren’t offered for the F-Series in 1951, the most notable being air conditioning. While black is the dominant color, the two seats feature orange inserts, and the steering wheel has been replaced with a sportier three-spoke affair. There’s more orange detailing on the dashboard as well, and you’ll note that the windows have been tinted too.
The 305ci V8 that propels this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup has been upgraded with a medium performance cam, a new K&N air filter, new AC Delco spark plugs, and new Gates XL alternator and AC belts. There’s also a new Edelbrock 1406 carburetor, and a 17-gallon fuel tank. Drive goes rearwards via a rebuilt Chevy TH350 automatic transmission with a 2500rpm stall speed torque converter, and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 31-spline axle. There’s also a limited slip differential with a 3.89 final drive ratio. Meanwhile, this truck enjoys 4-wheel GM disc brakes to ensure that the added power is met with enhanced braking capabilities.

Over time it has not lost its purpose, but has gained power, luxury and capability. Today, we have got a fourth generation 1961 Ford F-100 Restomod for sale from Milan, Ohio.

If you’re interested in netting yourself a classic American truck with some tasteful upgrades, contact us right now.
Ford’s longest-running series, the F-Series of pickup trucks dates back to 1948. World War II had ended, and Ford wanted to mobilize American farmers, small business holders and tradespersons. Fiercely competing with Chevy, the F-Series hit the market as soon as possible, and is now in its fourteenth generation! Of course, there’s nothing like a classic F-Series to enjoy that vintage truck vibe, but what about a restomod? Take this second generation 1956 Ford F-100 Restomod as a prime example. It’s a classic F-Series half-ton truck, but features an LT1 V8, an automatic gearbox, a custom interior with air conditioning and Bluetooth, and so much more. Read on to discover what this truck offers, and hit us up if you’d like to purchase it from its current owner in Carlsbad, California.
Classic trucks are just as interesting and worthy of collection as classic cars. Think about it; they’re great examples of mobility in the pre-digital era, and, with icons such as the Ford F-Series, representative of the American economy, of sorts. Yes, countless F-Series trucks have, since 1948, helped millions of small businessholders and tradespersons get around. Now on the fourteenth generation, the F-Series remains one of America’s best-selling trucks. Today, we have a classic fifth-generation 1972 Ford F-100 Sport Custom for sale from Grand Junction, Colorado. With a fresh coat of green paint, an aftermarket audio player and plenty of love lavished on it, this 85,585-mile truck is ready for a new owner.
Now here’s a lovely golden oldie that will put a smile on your face every time you grab its keys and head out to take it for a spin. This pleasing first-generation 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible could be yours if you like. Up for sale in West Palm Beach, Florida with a mere 52,636 miles on the clock, it’s a fine first-generation example of a trend-setter. Yes, if not for the Mustang, we wouldn’t have the pony car segment, as well as models like the Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, etc. The Mustang not only created a segment, it redefined what the fun but practical car could be. This particular example packs the popular 289ci V8 under the hood, and comes with a manual transmission. It’s also got factory air conditioning!
This 1965 Mustang Convertible presents as a fully developed restomod designed for modern drivability while preserving the identity of an early Mustang. The car carries a 302ci V8 supported by FiTech fuel injection, updated wiring, revised suspension geometry, and several comfort-oriented enhancements. Its Aqua Green Metallic finish and Pony-inspired cabin combine to deliver a distinctive, unified look with classic lines and updated performance manners.
Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.
The OG Hummer, the AM General Humvee is the military variant on which the entire Hummer brand was created around, at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having encountered these vehicles in movies, it’s no surprise that The Terminator fell in love with them. Of course, at that time, the only way a civilian could expose themselves to a Humvee in the capacity of driving it was to likely join the military. Now, you can find plenty of old, ex-service Humvees entering civilian life after they retire from active duty. This 1987 AM General Humvee M998 is one such candidate, and it’s got just 37,300 miles to its name. But that’s not important, what matters is how it’s been tastefully customized. You’ve got a Tropical Blue repaint, a custom navy and white Sunbrella top, a diesel V8 under the hood, and so much more to appreciate. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that this was once a military troop transport!
Today, RAM is a stand-alone brand of pickup trucks and well-known for its versatile array of tough, capable and yes, luxurious offerings in the full-size, medium-duty and heavy-duty segments. But before 2010, RAM was merely a model under the Dodge hierarchy, and the trucks were known as the Dodge Ram. That’s what we have here, a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 LT for sale from Baytown, Texas. This is a second-generation Dodge RAM and it’s done 154,788 miles so far. With its Cummins turbodiesel six, manual gearbox and replaced interior, it’s the ideal truck for someone looking for a decent workhorse, as well as a person who wants something a little different from the Nineties. Contact us if you fit the bill.
The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
