1949 Ford F1
1949 Ford F1 shortbox pickup my brother bought at auction
My brother, Roger bought a 1949 F-1 shortbox pickup at an auction with a flathead V8. I guess the old pickup had been sitting in a shed for many years with the box off of it. The heirs sat the box back on it for the auction but they left the chains on it for ease of removal. We got the old flathead to fire but we have not been successful at getting it to run yet. It is in pretty good shape for a 50 year old truck. The radiator hoses look new, the tail-pipe looks new, even the spark plugs shine like they were just installed yesterday! The 49 even came with a spare bumper. He thinks this old truck is a good candidate for a body off restoration.

1949 Update.
The other day Roger and I finally had a little time to mess around with the 49. That old flathead is a smooth runner and it seems to be in good shape. The only thing it needed was a new fuel pump.
09/21/2006 - Now the flathead has two valves out.
