Vehicle Details

1951 Ford F-3. It’s a Flathead V8, 4-Speed (spur gear), Delux Cab. Clean AZ title in my name with 18,678 miles.

I’ve had the Flathead shortblock finished by H&H Flatheads in Burbank, CA. Added the original good condition 8BA heads, intake, oil pan, oil pump, cam cover back onto it after metal cleaning. Then I rebuilt the original carb and everything else is new and ready for 12v. Engine has break-in oil in it but no coolant.

It probably only needs a couple of days on a weekend to get it running and a few hundred dollars in electrical, air & fuel parts. Everything else is in the boxes. After that you’ll need to patch the rust on the cab and bed, change the bed wood - however far you want to go. The chassis is in amazing condition and doesn’t need any work doing to it.

Brake pads and drums looked operable (as though they were done just before I bought it in Jan 2022). I changed the master cylinder and have not finished the brake pipes & hoses but have everything to do them. Tyres have kept air in them since Jan 2022. All wheels roll freely, gearbox and diff work, although the clutch is still disconnected but was working correctly before I took the engine out.

Front and rear window glass is in good enough condition to leave. Drivers door glass is cracked but holding together. Passenger side glass is almost completely gone. Winding mechanisms work. No heater, no oil filter, new fuel tank.

History is difficult to find but it was built in the Long Beach facility, originally in Meadow Green. I believe it was sold new to Naval Air Station Yuma and painted Yellow & Red for an airfield truck. Then it was whitewashed and sold to a farmer in Yuma, AZ (I don’t know when). It was kept on normal AZ plates until 1983, then run on historic plates until 1998. The farmer I bought it from said an old lady had it on her farm since 1998 and died, hence he was selling it to me.

I would like to finish it but I am managing an hour a week if I’m lucky and this thing deserves to be on the road again.
