I think it looks good. Better than I do at 70 years old! Lol
I’m 65 and I wish I had the few problems this truck has!!
Complete restoration to original. Lots of work and $ but will result in orgasmic satisfaction for you!!!!
If you look at the taillight lenses, and if they are original, they will have the year molded in. either " 48" "49" "50". This is true for all American cars up to the 1970s
I think the Restore people would love that truck.
No rust at all in the bottom cab corners - very nice!
I love the video
To each his own! I have enjoyed your 56 Caddy videos very much, but I would never have bought it for myself. The F1 and the 65 Mustang would be vehicles I would keep and fix. To me they are both beautiful.
I was 8 when the Mustang came out. I don't remember the fastback Stang from then, but the notchback (coupe) was a huge hit, rather like the Taurus was in 1988? I think that's the year. The styling was totally different from previous cars for both of these Fords.
This truck is an elegy to its time of building, now the better part of half-century ago. Then these sorts of vehicles were not built to last past the time they might serve as toys for the builder. They were not regarded as "restorations" in the sense we use the term today. But here, today, are some good bones for someone to use as parts or rebuild. I hope if it's "restored," that the work is done in the spirit of the first build.
It's a big block. Trans would be a c-6 ;) YES MORE vids Ben.
Ben, there are times when I wish that the vehicles were not so advanced. But, I'm 65 so I'm getting like my Dad. 😁 I hope you make this a project.
It does look like a pretty solid truck for being a 1948 F1. Definitely something good enough to restore if someone is young enough and has the time to restore it. I would say clear coat it and leave the old patina on it. Clear coating would even bring out the old pinstriping a bit as well. Good luck selling it I am sure someone will take it off your hands Ben.
Not A min. into the video, Luv It... Like all the old F1/F100 trucks, MY Bucket List find would Be 56.. Keep dreaming. Hey ready to watch the resurrection.
Very early 70's Cadillac/ Buick seats, I believe.
The seats are from mid to late 70's TBird. Could be where the engine came from.
1975 engine? It would be from a truck then, since Ford stopped putting the FE big blocks in cars in 1971 or something like that.
Manufacturers would keep older proven designs and components around in their truck lines for a few years after they stopped putting them in cars.
Learned to drive on a 1950 f1. 239 flathead. 4 speed. All granny gears.
1948 Ford F1 has stainless steel strips in the grill. It's the only one that has them. There are some small differences between the three years. If you know what to look for.
I think the bottom door hinge on the passenger side broke, so the bottom of the door swung forward and crunched into the back of the front wing/fender. That's really not too bad, as long as the frame of the door is relatively straight then it's not going to be difficult to cut the bottom off that skin then make up and fit a new section as it's quite a simple shape...
I think that’s a 1948 grill, because of the crank-start hole. But I thought the 48 top grill bar did not have the parking lights. I’m probably wrong. If the data plate on the inside of the glovebox door is legible, that’s a buyer’s best info source.
The all had the hole in bottom of grill and lights on top bar of grill
Always liked those trucks. So utilitarian yet awesome looking. As far as what I would do? Money no object? Ford made a new 7.3 pushrod V8 mated to a 10 speed auto... Not as wide as the Coyote so it will probably slip right in (as much as a 390 would anyway, looks like that trans tunnel needs reworked anyway). Lower it, good suspension and brakes and voila, a "road race" ready F1! As far as patina; The passenger door is going to be a problem. Unless you can find a door in similar condition as the rest of the truck so you can "match" the patina it would have to be resprayed. And that looks like a whole lot of body work. But since money no object? Sorry Ben... I am going to paint it a slightly matte silver... And the chrome pieces matte black. It would be one bad ass truck.
I agree with you 85% Especially that new 7.3 V8. Money no object I'd have to have it manual transmission. Not lowered. Good stance yes. No to the flat black paint on the trim. Your very correct on the door. Me and you sir would get along just fine. I was literally thinking the same thing while reading everyone's comments. And yours is almost at the end. Have a good one.
1949 f1 good looking old truck to start with wished u was closer
Those turbine wheels are friggin' sweet!
That engine, it's just a regular, mid 70's smog engine. By the time that 390 came out the 390 had been choked down to around 150 to 175 HP 72 and back are better engines. Some were above the 300 hp range. At one time all 390s were a performance engine. My 65 Galaxie has a 390 with a 4spd. It's a blast to drive in a straight line.
a prime candidate for a coyote swap
I'd small block it , bag it and paint it satin black .... and for sure new interior .
FYI... It appears to have one original turn indicator light on the passenger front... it should be glass if original and we'll have the date on the bottom, 47 48 or 49 will be the last numbers.
Had one just like it in high school in the late 70s. Well, technically it was my dad’s but I was pretty much the only one who ever drove it. It was in similar condition to this one. I always thought it was a 1950..but never was positive. Flathead 6.
The heater didn’t work, I kept a quilt in the cab to keep myself and my buddy from freezing to death on the way to school. Lol! I remember being pretty excited when I found a nice factory speaker grill in a similar junk yard truck. Wish I had it back.
That’s funny that you call them mud dobbers, I have never heard of them called that. I have always called them dirt dobbers.
I've heard mud-dobbers several times. But 99.9% it's always been dirt-dobbers.
Do a video on that yellow Jag, I saw the purchase included a red front end for it. Should be a cool car to see
I'm a Chevy guy but I like those older Fords too I think you should keep it
Nice truck, diamond in the rough, fix it up please.
i have a 1949 f1 and it runs good it was my grand dads work truck and i am 12 years old
I’m VERY interested in the rebuild on this one. I worked on a 1965 Ford F100 and had the time of my life! Keep sending notices on your vids! I liked your walk around. Seeing all the little pin stripes was funny as hell! Source out that missing trim on the hood. Find an original Ford engine and transmission. Aww, you don’t need my advice!!! Good job!!!
I wish you can make longer videos I really enjoy your Channel
Turn it into a Sanford & Son replica truck lol
Man, you got some _taste,_ Bruvva - a mighty purchase.
Envious. Living in the northeast I see 15-year-old trucks with more rust.
15 month old Rams!
Resto mod this truck if at all possible. Best of luck.
Sanford and Son truck
Big holes in center of dash would be where radio and speaker would go, looks a lot like the '50 we had for almost 20 years between Grandpa and Dad,yes it more than likely was red because of the dash color,ours was originally dark blue then Dad painted it white with turquoise trim.
Date stamp on fender under hood
Hey Ben I’m looking for a good video on removing and replacing a steering wheel on an 89 C4 do you know if you have any videos that show how to do this? I saw one where you break down the parts but never actually showed a how to. Would appreciate it man!
Those turbines are freakin' cool!!! They belong on a '70s truck.
Love those style trucks.😍
If you end up parting it, I’d be interested in some parts!
I think you should sell it. Someone out there would love to have it and lavish loving care on it.
Definitely has some history to it.
1:42 Stop it, that'll buff out !!!!. 😀😃😆
It was pretty common for pickups to stay about the same for several years up until about 1955 when the big tree started to do styling changes like they did on cars. Chevy/GMC stayed appearance wise about the same from 1948 thru 1954 making subtle changes to the styling of the grill and cab kinda like they did later on with 1970's thru the early 80's square body pickups. One pickup truck manufacturer International required you to provide the serial number of the truck when ordering parts because the model year was irrelevant because they made running changes to everything during the model year. My uncle found this out the hard way in 1965 when he ordered a fleet of seven for his business all equipped the same and when his service mechanic worked on them for regular maintenance they found they took three different oil filters and two different air filters and all trucks were equipped with the same engine.
Put in a blown 32V Modular and a 6 speed.
Best Guess the Door got shoved into it when it was open, also the wheels, I think you might wanna check what they are, as they look like the ones they used on the general lee back in the day, some sort of turbine wheel and their not produced anymore.
The General Lee turbines had wider and less spokes. These look like late-80's Mustang GT wheels but those have 16 spokes and these have 15 so kinda weird.
@@Stressless2023 well someone did say the things got ford T bird seats from the 70's in it, maybe their T bird ones too and those rims came first
Hi I would love see you fix this ford pick up truck.this a classic.
Park it in the front yard.....with nice Bermuda or fescue lawn. Half raise the hood. Take off the wheels and tires. Put flowers in the engine bay and the bed. Lower the windows with flowers inside the truck, too.
It's beautiful yard art!
You only do that to a Chevrolet not never a Ford.
That truck would make an awesome street rod.
Probably a truck 360 FE. Trans would be a C6, C4s were used on 6 and small V8s.
Just saw it listed on CL.
The truck looks to be solid where I'd expect to see rust. Maybe the cab corners are bondo'd? The passenger door seems to be the worst part, body wise.
It needs metal work, but it's a good starting point for a project!
I just saw that truck on craigslist this morning!
Come buy it
great old truck. so many different interests in the hobby...many would be more interested in this than a corvette...personally I like both! def an FE engine...gosh the landscape used to be littered with FE's, but getting scarce now. fun stuff, and thx for sharing it.
Enjoyed the video!
Sweet truck
Love the F-1 Ford Truck! I think I've been watching your channel too long because my answer to yuor question of "What would you do with this old 70's show truck" is: I'd do what it takes to get it running, driving and stopping. Love the patina.It's a cool old truck. Why "ruin it" by restoring it to new - you wouldn't want to drive it then!
@@candle86 I totally understand the whole patina thing. How many cars have you seen disassembled over the years and never enjoyed? The whole painting process ties cars up for so many years. Another thing, is you don't have to worry about the vehicle so much. I know from experience once the painted car was out I was way more cautious about driving where I parked it.
They didn't make a C4 to mate to a FE (390 etc.) Most likely a C6.
C-6 With a 390.
you should restore it
I like the truck!
I don’t like Fords but I like this Truck, but it would need an LS
I would love to buy it, but shipping to Canada would not be fun.
Tail light lenses will have the date molded in
lol! the dent in the fender is probably from the door.
Love that truck!
Potential!!!
Well, I personally would love to have this truck, so besides selling it to me, I would sand her down pretty good, fix the rust, paint it a flat black looked at the post but I can’t justify 2200$ and tryin to get it from Texas to Delaware, just never gonna happen, simply it getting to Delaware would probably mess something up
48 or 49 f1. 50 51 have 3 bullet nose grill
Hey Ben where do you find these cars? What websites? Or do you just drive around and see them?
All of the above. But the best advice getting to know people. Word of mouth has always helped.
Purdy good bones, make a good project for someone
Big block Fords always got a c6
Go for the truck.
FE 390 it can be rebuilt .I have rebuilt them in worst shape
Im interested in this truck
Look like late-80's Mustang GT turbine wheels but those had 16 spokes and these have 15 so idk...
Needs frame off repair, new suspension stuff, tires, repair the holes and the bed, interior, put a fuel injected 5.0 or something in it, make it a daily driver work truck of sorts. Scrape off the chipped peeling paint, save the patina.
Nice F1 it would be nice to get it running again and drive around like this 🤗
Put 15x8 Turbine wheels on my 68 Vette then on to the 77
LS swap on truck!
it would have flat head v8
Small block ford and C4, hotrod parts truck for you.
What was the forth car
1948😥😥😥😥
What's the state of the El Camino?
Long sold
Two bullet holes in the front , and in the cab... How those passed through the engine ~
Second digit, 8, makes it a 48. First digit 9 makes it a late 48, 9th month, 1948
9=1949
8=8 cylinder
R=Rouge engine plant
C=F1
How about a patina rat rod?
Well, that truck has been through a lot and it's still fixable.
Man that would make an awesome shop truck, I mean really how many f1 do you see on the road
Ben, its not really a Ford until Chopstick pee's on all four tires... then I wouldn't take less than $4k... shells are all people need to be inspired...
Get an el camino, el caminos are cool
Get hold of Derek at Vice Grip Garage and tell him you have challenge.
I'll be Dipped
He will go full on factree on it.
DEREK WONT LIKE THE DRINKER'S DOOR , HAHAHAHAHAHA
My favorite truck.
No rust in back corners of cab. That is pretty good.
Love dodge but they been selling the same looking Durango since 2014! And not to mention the long in the tooth challenger 😂
Z Racer Woah I had no idea those Durangos had been out so long. Didn’t start noticing them until the last couple years. Not a bad looking car for a family SUV though.
The Challenger is an old body style for sure but hard to improve on IMHO.
Man I wish you were fixing up that
How much for the 48
Sorry long sold
