That engine can be rebuilt in no time. Sad you will discard it for something now original to the truck.
i hate when people say this. you could have bought the truck just like i did. matter of fact, i will sell it to you for what i gave. then you can do whatever you want. if you decline, i would expect you to respect me any my choice as i would yours.
@@j.c.smithprojectsThe old saying “there’s one in every crowd” still stands true. Most of us are here to watch the projects, as the name implies, anyhow….not for “J.C. Smith’s factory correct nut and bolt restorations”.
We had a one identical to this on our poultry farm in Massachusetts. My Dad bought it from the Boston Fire Department in 1953. We used it around the farm and for snow plowing from 1953-1982. An amusement park in our town used it for snow removal from 1982-2009. Since the amusement park was sold I lost track of this truck. Learned to drive on this dump truck. The snow plow was a massive V-Plow with a hand pump hydraulic lift. Spent a lot of time as a youngster sitting in that passenger seat raising and lowering that snow plow for my Dad. The 1948 Ford truck was indestructible and super reliable. We hauled manure, gravel, sand, fire wood and hay with this truck. Last I heard, in 2009 this truck was still being used in Hanover, MA. Thank you for bringing back so many fond memories of working with this great Ford truck.
I was waiting for you to say it was sold within 24 hours!
I wouldn't rule that out Wes! Lol
Nah, he’s keeping this one. You can hear it in his voi...... What? You sold it? Okay.....
Just kidding. He’s keeping it for real. ❤️
O ya hes keeping it i could believe my eyes when i first looked at it . Cab was mint.
Dear Mr. Wes.
👍👌👏 Always nice to meet you here. Yeah, you are absolutely right, Sir! 😁😁 I really hope that the Smith couple will keep this to fulfill at least one of his dreams. But there are so many parts coming with this great purchase, that J C. will be able to build at least 2 trucks out of it, maybe even 3. By the way: I absolutely love old looking/old style vehicles with a bit more modern drivetrain, engine, power steering etc.p.p. so that one can enjoy driving it even nowadays. Don't get me wrong: I don't mean/like the overdone vehicles with too much new technology in them. For my kind of personal taste respectively out of my experience, car technique from the beginning of the 1990s is the best (this applies at least for Mercedes-Benz cars). Not to much electronic stuff in those vehicles and repairs still manageable.
Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
Let’s take a moment to applaud that JD lawn mower...
Beautiful Truck, my grandfather gave me a set of those reflectors 50 years ago. I have them in my F350 along with the triangles. My oldest grandson wants them. I told him when I'm too old to drive, he can have them and the truck.
What a cool old truck. That’s a piece of History right there.
Beautiful old FORD! what a great project.
When I was a child my father had an F1 same year as your dump truck. He used it for a service truck for his gas station. It had a push board on the front instead of a bumper.
I am 78 years old. You reminded me today of good times riding with my dad in a 1929 Ford stake truck when I was little. Then you opened the hood and reminded me of my first car, a 1956 Ford with a flat head V8.
Thanks for the memories.
that is what makes sharing this purchase enjoyable. great stories of generations memories.
I'm stunned by how wonderfully the doors open and close! Absolutely beautiful sir!!!!
JC you're a master of your craft. You made a real score on that truck. Please keep us informed of the plans as you go along. That is one of my favorite series of old trucks. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Thanks for sharing the ride to get it.
Very nice to have your wife support and participate your project.that. Make s it so much more enjoyable.
Awesome find. Would look awesome restored and moving some dirt.
Very common for old vehicles to have only one door lock on the passenger side.
Yes, it was a measure taken to encourage people to enter the vehicle from the kerb side rather than walking out into traffic to get in, which makes a hell of a lot of sense when you think about it. If you get in from the kerb side then you only really risk getting knocked down by a pedal cyclist rather than something like an 18-wheeler...
My family had a 1947 Ford Ton and a half flatbed we used to haul horses etc. seeing this truck brings back memories of riding in that truck growing up. Looks very similar except the guages and speedometer looked different than yours. Flathead V-8 got about 7 mpg. Thanks so much for sharing this video Will be thinking about that old truck of ours and all the memories and stories that went with it. Hope you enjoy this truck many times over.
I was wrong here. Not a V8. Flathead 8 cylinder
Yeah, Personally I'd clean it up, keep original except for some upgrades to a 12 volt system and the vacuum wipers to electric and just get it running and looking good. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. 👍
I had one just like it 40 years ago. So it caught my eye when I saw it on facebook market place. Good luck. Ron
Nice old dump truck, great find 👍. Have a great evening 😀.
Thats a sweet truck! I can't believe how clean it is! That fire extinguisher is a real treasure! I remember finding those old road reflectors in junk vehicles. I agree with you guys that cab protector did its job!
My grandfather told the reason for the single lock on the passenger side was to let your lady in first 🤷♂️
Henry Ford earlier, did not want people messing around unlocking doors on the traffic side
Roads were so narrow back then that people actually got in on the passenger side if they were in town. Some things like that carried over into the 60's. Check out the late 1960's Chevy Carryall Suburban, they had two doors on the passenger side and only one on the driver side.
@@ralfie8801 If you ever watch old movies or tv shows you'll see folks get in on the passenger side and slide across too.
When I was in high school late 60's, my dad had a F-1.The tag on the inside of the glove box door said that the 6 had 80 hp and the 8 had 90 hp. The one we had was a 6. That old truck was my ride in high school. It was a lot of fun.
Way2go JC, what a beautiful truck. I love the short stance of the hood and the front wheel arches. If you could find a heavy duty bed for that truck now that would be a keeper for sure but I can just imagine what you have in your mind of doing with it. Many blessings to you and your family, your friend Joe.
I know you don't do show trucks but, that would be it !!!!!!!!!! Congratulations !!!!!!
I did one of those trucks back in 2000. I drove it for years. And a divorce ended it. It’s nice to see another person doing one as well
That’s cool I have a 48 Chevy 3100 thriftmaster I love it so simple to just relax and tinker with I recovered my seat with the king ranch leather I like it and it fits the look for the ole brown vinyl seats I bought mine out of California I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it after going and picking it up with dad he’s not here anymore lots of good memories with my ole 48
An incredible find in great condition for its year, I’m looking to see the build in the very near future, .
Awesome find! This truck has been waiting a long time to do something! Looking forward to it!
Beautiful piece of history gotta love them old trucks my current project is a 1935 Ford truck
That's what I'd call a "real" work truck. Old school craftsmanship even in something made to be a brute. Awesome score, JC!
Mr JC Cool looking truck.That fire extinguisher was awesomel. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
I never would have guessed that there would be a fiberglass hood available for that truck.
I really like to see people save old trucks
That is a nice truck cant believe how clean it is. Just goes to show they built that solid and if you take care of something it will last. Unlike the new crap that you throw away after 10 years because its rotted out! Nice score!!
Nice seeing you get a project that you have always wanted to do. It’s also great when you get good people to help you. Look forward to seeing the new truck created.
Bet Jonathan W could find a good cab. One of those flatheads would be a good first start for him too.
Ain't got no gas in it...
Sorry, couldn't help myself lol. Maybe Mortske Repair could have a go at the stuck flathead... Then again, maybe he'd decline that invitation given his track record with them!
Why would it need another cab, the one it has is perfect !
I’m so glad you were able to find one jc that can be your daily I can just see you going to town lol
What a beautiful classic truck! It’s amazing that it sat for all those years and barely has any rust. Congrats on finding it J.C. I’m happy for ya😀👍!
Love it and the brown vinyl seat brings back a childhood memory of standing and sliding all over the place on the trips to town, 1948 F1 6 cyl, std, no radio. Very Basic
They all had the lock on the passenger side , it was a safety aspect, all of them , good job , vlogs are looking good , your full of information, we all love it , thanks BigAl California.
The door lock on the passenger side Ive heard wasn't uncommon. I don't know about that time period but I have heard it was done on older vintage vehicles . This was when roads where not commonly paved so people got out on the passenger side towards the sidewalk. The theory was that no one would want to go in the mud on the driver side and steal the truck so they put the lock on passenger side
What a little jewel! I couldn't have passed it up either.
What a beautiful old truck!!!
Old time radio under the dash! That truck is a time capsule.
Good for you whoever fabled up the cab protector was an over achiever!
Excited to see what you come up with!
My first thought was keep it short and keep the dump box with it, but someone else mentioned rollback. I like that idea.
Is Justin the "ambulance guy"?
He is good help looks like to me.
Yep i own the yellow turd 😂
@@jpsgarage2020 it'll come around! It is in excellent hands!
Had a 1950 F1 in high school in 1982…brings back memories.. that trim is Stainless and it buffs out beautifully! Good luck with the old girl
I saw that hook on the bumper, and I went "NoOOooOO! Don't bend that nice old bumper!" 😂
That's a terrific old truck. Can't wait to see the project. 👍
shoot.....this is back when bumpers were made of STEEL!!
What an amazing truck , glad you bought it . Can’t wait till you build it .
Nice find! Congrats! Reminds me of my youth, my dad had one... him driving, me standing up in the middle and my grandfather riding shotgun. Good times!
I remember saying Mrs JC needs to get a speaking part in these videos. Well done Mrs JC. Good to see you've made it to a dance # alongside that ole boy.
Down Mr JC talking about that ole six-wheeler haha. You guys are great together. Keep em coming.
this is going to be a great one to watch---
Very nice truck. A bonus in my mind is the history info., you behind it...
Maybe you didn’t need another project, but these deals don’t come around everyday...
Great video, thank you sir....
JC, you should swap this onto a roll back and run it as that. Really cool old truck.
i am considering a late model diesel chassis with either a "my version of an era correct pick up bed, a flatbed or a rollback. whichever it is, i want it to be a summer time daily driver.
Wow all I can say is wow that's a survivor how sweet can't wait to see were you go with it from here Thumbs way up I hope you all are doing well and staying healthy love all your video's !!
You know as well as me Mr Smith "You look at it twice and it will follow you home'' just like a puppy. LOL At a first look on the video it looks to be in quite good condition for its age. no bad rust in the cab corners. After the better look you gave us it is really good The usual places that get eaten away by wet and dirt are really good like the floor and down the bottom of the door openings where the dirt collects. Plenty of spares too. Get while you can.
What a great find! I live vicariously through you. I have great appreciation for the work you do. Please hold onto it for a day or two before you sell it! 😂😂
i have no intentions of selling it.
@@j.c.smithprojects I've heard that before! LOL! All kidding aside, I'm happy for you.
Beautiful project !
I have a 50' F1 that I inherited from my grandparents because they knew I wouldn't hotrod it out or chop it up. It was still completely original, not missing a single bolt. Did a frame off resto with all new wiring (original factory fabric harnesses) and new rubber from Dennis Carpenter who has the OG Ford tooling used to make it. I left the patina body original, no new paint. The only downside is I want the flathead V8 and mine has the 226 straight 6. It runs good, just something about those V8's that sound so cool! If you ever want to let go of any of the 3 motors you've got JC, I'll make a trip up to Ohio from Dallas and be happy to buy one off you and help fund you next build! Long time fan, love all your videos!
Hope you had a great Father's Day. what a find on that truck.
I think you're right about the cab sheild saving it. First thing I noticed was how big it is. Most of the dumps from the 50s into the 60s I've seen have about half that....and roof damage usually lol.
That fiberglass hood will get along with the hot rod crowd I'm sure.
Thanks for sharing
I’m in love can’t wait to see more
Dear Charles R.
👍👌👏 Same here, definitely! ;-)
Best regards, luck and health.
That’s a nice looking truck . Congratulations. I am sure your work your magic into something beautiful and workable. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe 🇬🇧
Can't wait to see the build of this old truck
i just love your videos thanks for your hard work
Great score. You are right. Sometimes you just need to act and worry about the details later.
Such Great Shape for an Ohio truck , well really here in Arkansas too . Passenger door locks were standard from the factory to protect the driver from getting hit when exiting vehicles back in the days of narrow streets and roads . The running flathead would be Cool to set on a stand and play with when you feel like killing time and sipping tea or lemonade . Great buy J.C. . Great video Y'all . Good evening J.C. & lady behind the camera .
You are very lucky to find it in such great condition.. It looks like it was stored indoors. With all those extra parts you should give thanks to you higher power. I envy you. Can't wait to see the work start.
That is a great find and a piece of history! I can't wait to see the videos!.
I would be tempted to replace frame and running gear and keep that dump bed.
Can’t wait for the build.
Those old fire extinguishers used carbon tetrachloride which replaced the oxygen when applied to the fire, The carbontet was hazardous to the operator and taken off the market. They polish up beautifully and are a timely accessory to an old vehicle. Just get you a good modern fire extinguisher to carry in case you might need one.
It was an amazing firefighting agent and solvent. Too bad it was toxic. My Dad had a friend who cleaned his toupeé with carbon tet. He ended up getting jaundice. He lived to tell about it...
@@steelfist65 He was lucky, The exposure is accumulative (sp?) a little today and a little tomorrow and pretty soon problems start. We lost a firefighter to carbon tet poisoning. He had a carpet cleaning business on the side and used it as a spot cleaning solvent. His liver was destroyed. They diagnosed him initially as an alcoholic but we new he was a tea teetotaler. We got his wife to have him transferred to University Hosp. and we all donated blood hoping for the best but he never recovered and passed away in the hospital.
@@MrTodd51 that's an awful story. I'm sorry to hear that.
Cleaned a lot of parts with carbon tet. Still alive and kicking at 81.
@@wallacefoulkes3514 Yea, we've all done some bad things in our lives, some because of ignorance and others because of stupidity. There just much safer alternatives today and no good reason to use carbon tet.
At 13:00 you pointed out the abrasion on the tire as from rubbing the curb. That is actually a very familiar sight in the old days when 'recap' tires were common. I would say that in my experience a full half of 'new' tires were actually recaps back in the day. A new set of 15" tires would cost around $100 and a set of recaps would be under $50. Keep in mind a nice used car complete and ready to drive would be $100 to $150.
They would grind all of the tread off of a good used casing leaving that textured finish you saw and then vulcanize a new tread on. In most cases they were as good as a new tire.

first 👍's up JC thanks again for taking us all along with you
I don't need a dump truck but I'd buy that one and never let go! That is one cool 😎 truck!
I would be excited too if that were mine. Honestly the older that I get the less new things impress me. Old equipment reminds me of of a different America . One far removed from the mess we are in today.
What the old timers at ATHS and ATCA shows told me about the The pass side door lock was back in the day on commercial trucks the driver would get in and out the pass (curb) side door when making deliveries and lock the driver door from inside before locking the pass door from there to keep the cash /check box (no debit cards back then) etc safe inside the truck. Idk how true it is but you do see a lot of older trucks set up that way, some as new as the 60’s. Sorry for the comment-palooza on your stuff but as usual I get too busy for TH-cam for a few months then have to catch up when I get a few days off and end up seeing all kinds of interesting stuff.
Watching here in Australia will be looking forward progress on this Jewel, the door lock on the passenger side was a Ford safety feature so you weren't standing on the roadway trying to unlock the door.
Thats a cool old truck yaw. Very rare okd truck. Be aafe and gid bless
Very nice find, I know what you mean that when the price is right you don’t haggle.
Wow what a true survivor! Those old flatheads are the best. Wouldnt take much to get it running i bet
The door lock on the passenger side only is absolutely correct for that year
Greetings from the Ohio Porters! This truck takes my breath away! 😳 Glad that you found it and had the desire to save it…It is SO WORTH SAVING! 🤩 The passenger side key lock…I’m not sure if it was a law anywhere, YT what I was told that there were some regulations back in the day where trucks, maybe bigger trucks/rigs, were required to be entered/exited from the passenger side mostly…for safety reasons. Similar to the suicide doors not being so popular because people were opening doors into the traffic and getting pinned/killed when the vehicle was struck. It was like jumping directly into traffic. I guess some people weren’t using their heads or designers were just trying something different. My REO has the lock only on the passenger side! I’ve always loved and hated it at the same time. Had to go around to passenger side to unlock it and slide over to get behind the wheel or reach over, unlock driver’s door and then go around if there was something sitting on the seat in my way. That cab guard really saved this cab, lights, etc from wasting away. TRUE! A blessing of a find, my friend!!!! And you got so many extra parts…that’s the icing on the cake! I love the Budd wheels on those old trucks…and they’re steel wheels!! What a piece of sweet Ford history! This will make a sweet truck for your collection! Not that you need any other projects, but this will be even better for you to have Justin helping you…bringing you guys closer together !!! Radical! Glad to see it! Will be good for video action…understatement!
Cool little truck👍
Really neat truck! I have a similar one but it’s a 1950 F-155 (Canadian version with 15.5k GVW) with an F-7 Big Job hood, fenders and front grille. I hope to see more on your truck!!
Chrome grill means that was a de lux model with chome bars. Std models had painted grills. Good solid old truck. Congrats !!
Back in the day we put a nail head Buick in an F3. We've put SBC's in F1's. But that Nail Head ran real well. Plenty of power and massive TQ. Pulled that truck down the road just fine. Buicks had a lot of factory accessories, so stuff for power brakes, power steering, A/C is all available easily if you find a decent donor car. There used to be an adapter ring to mate a nail head to the Ford drive line ... Was an easy build.
Flat bed would be my preferred as you can tie it to your business and write off the work. Truck it a few times a year for the tax man, party it the rest of the time :-)
Excellent video that is a really nice survivor truck you should build your self a decked out vintage dump truck
That’s one solid truck JC The Cab is in very nice condition.
One beautiful truck
Can't wait to see where you go with such a neat old truck
Watch out for those triangle supports on the cab cover so you don't hit your head getting in and out of the cab. Neat old truck and anxious to see the project develop. It can sit on the shelf till you have the time.
It’s like Christmas came early for you.
Nice truck JC
Can't wait to see what you do with this project.
I can hear the excitement in your voice
It would be a beautiful over sized pick-up truck with a custom dump bed, keep dually or have widen rims with single wide tires for rear, my imagination done went wild with it.
Nice haul! Looking forward to the build!
You can sell off some of the extras that came with the truck and come out smelling like a rose. That’s how I like to make deals. Get the package deal and sell stuff off until you’ve basically got what you wanted to begin with at a huge discount. 👍
lights in grill are parking lights, turn signals were an option usually mtd on fenders
Very nice old truck.
Can't wait to see what you do with it
This is going to be a great series, if anybody can repair this truck it is YOU JC.
those fire extinquishers polish up nice. if it's full it must be emptied at a hazmat place.
Looks like a amazing old truck JC like it a lot. Fire extinguisher is cool too!
Can't wait to see this project done
