1950 Ford F1, 226 flat head 6. Three on the tree. Engine rebuilt 1989/90. Less than 15000 miles on motor. Used for several years to go to work in the summer, haul dirt/gravel, building supplies. Up to 3 years ago used as farm truck hauling firewood from woods to house. Fuel line from tank rusted through and let set, One of the soft plugs went out and have not done anything to it since. Unfortunately, mice got in it and destroyed the seat and nested the cab. Had put an ungodly amount of money into it...well over $5000.00 including the rebuild. Had installed new clutch when motor was rebuilt. Replaced rear leaf springs and front shocks. Replaced king pins and bearings, tie rods, pitman arm. Replaced heater core and blower motor. Converted to alternator/12 volt. Currently have most of 4 wheel brake hardware, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, front and rear window seals and other misc. parts which I had purchased new from Obsolete Ford Parts but never installed. Installed mechanical gauges in original dash plate. Have blinker switch add on that never installed. Bed is not original, just a sheet of treated plywood. Floor pans were replaced prior to my purchasing it, still solid. Has no bumpers. No radio. Went out to move to suitable location to work on it and get critters out and found brakes are frozen. All original body parts including running boards. Have so many new parts I never got around to installing. Have allthe trim and lettering for hood. No fiberglass parts. Planning on 1500 mile relocation in the fall and decided not to take with us. When was running, the motor just purred, super smooth. Hate to sell it but too much for my age. Ask questions, see pics
