1952 Ford F1 - Auction - Salem, Massachusetts - This 1952 Ford F1 Pickup was purchased at auction in early 2014 to serve as an auto parts delivery vehicle, but has been kept for personal use and has covered about 500 miles since. This example is from the first generation of Ford's F-series, introduced in 1948 to replace their car-based pickup line. The truck features front spotlights, extra gauges, all steel panels, new steel box with correct oak floor, and bed sideboards with American Flag details. The non-original 239ci Flathead V8 showed 110-120 psi in a recent compression test, has uprated headers and dual exhaust, and is mated to a 3-speed column-shift manual. Recent mechanical updates include new tires, wheel bearings/seals, brake cylinders, shoes and springs, front brake lines, left/right tie rod ends, wiper arms/blades, battery, and solenoid cable. This Ford F1 is reportedly running well with no current mechanical needs, and it is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean Missouri title. This listing is live now, and only for 7 days, so take a look at the current bidding and live discussion here at http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1952-ford-f-3/
