  • It was a project that took four years, but Jeff Crampton of Litchfield, CT successfully restored a 1949 Ford F1 pickup and has now been driving it for four years.

    Very nice F-1 Ford! Love the fact that it has been restored instead of being restomodded.

      He did a great job. It's fun to see it out and about in northwest CT on a regular basis.

    How did you attach the front fender to cab rubber seal to the rear of the front fender? I am now at the place in my 49 F1 restoration where that is my next move. I suppose the fender edge needs to be painted first. Adhesive doesn't appear to be the solution to hold the rubber seal in place.

    I'm curious if he retro-fitted any seat belts.

      What's great about this pickup is that it's used often for running errands. It's common to see it how and about in Litchfield.

    Great looking truck, is the color meadow green?

      Just traded texts with the owner and he chuckled over your question. He says he bought the paint at a local auto parts store and that the can said, "Dark Green."

    May I ask why the steps are cut short ?

      Just traded texts with the owner. He says the running boards were rotted, so he cut them off, and that it was hard to find good replacements. Does that answer your question?

    The announcer needs to talk like a human instead of a monster truck show announcer.

      I hear ya. The story was done a while back for the Republican-American newspaper in CT - long before I launched the TH-cam channel. Realizing that online consumption is a bit different, and hearing other comments like yours, I've toned down the delivery over the past 18 months. Thanks for the feedback.
