1949 Ford F1 Panel Van / Hot Rod F1 1/2 Ton Additional Info:

This is a very nice clean example of a Classic 1949 F1 1/2 Ton Ford Panel Van. This truck's restoration was a labour of love as it was the dream of it's current owner to have one since he was a child. He has done aframe off nut and bolt restoration at a parts cost of $48,800 not including labour. Afterowning the truck for 5 years, t's now time (with regret) to let it go. Everything is refinished or new. This truck is all metal with no filler or fibre glass. The frame has been clipped with a 81 cutlass front end, isc brakes, ew bearings, prings, nd ball joints, ll the best components were used no white box parts. $10,000 was spent on the custom interior alone. The Van is very easy to drive and handles well as all suspension components and brakes are new. This is a true turnkey Hot Rod that the whole family can enjoy.
Bid with confidence as the cost to build the truck is well over our asking price.
