Re: !949/1950 F1 differences
Just found a better picture of the truck from when it was delivered showing the side of the bed.

Hey ct50f1, that is an extremely nice truck. Here's my 49. It's definitely not a show truck. Just a good honest farm truck that got a paint job back in the 1980's. I pulled it out of a barn after about a 20 year nap last summer. |

Not saying it isn't possible, but none have come to light in several hundred I've seen pics of. Beautiful trucks, both of you! |

Re: !949/1950 F1 differences
As a matter of fact it does say LB on the firewall tag, I was guessing that was Long Beach

Re: !949/1950 F1 differences
I did a lot of research restoring my 49 F-1 (97HC218820) and the ivory grille insert for 50 didn't show up. My truck is a Highland Park truck.

Re: !949/1950 F1 differences
This is my brother's 50. It has the flat bed sides and the light duty floor shift three speed. It came from the factory that way. ct50f1, are you sure you have the heavy duty three? Your shifter looks slimmer than the heavy three shifter to me. The heavy threes have a shifter about as big as the four speeds. |

Re: !949/1950 F1 differences
38 Coupe,do you know what color red your brothers truck is? Surprised I didn't see anything about the F-1 emblems as a difference.I am not sure but I think the emblems were raised and chrome on 48 & 49.I know the 50 if it is correct should have flat stainless emblems which I don't think they are reproduced.Please correct me if wrong. Russ

Re: !949/1950 F1 differences
Here's my 49 F-1 97HC218820. Restored in 2000. The color is 1992-96 Ford Truck code EP as I recall. I am a retired PPG auto paint jobber and I could mix the original vermillion in acrylic enamel, but I wanted to use single stage urethane. EP was a very close match to the original red I had. I know of another truck that won AACA senior using the same color. Worked for me.

Re: !949/1950 F1 differences
If the side of the transmission has a cast in T87, then you have the heavy duty three. You may have to clean an awful lot of grease and gunk to find out. Mac Van Pelt has a picture of the case on his website: http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/F...D3spd-case.jpg. The light duty three looks like this, again from Mac Van Pelt's website: http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/F...uck_3speed.jpg. The shift levers are also different, but I don't have pictures of each type.
Dick Webber is 100% correct, the color is vermilion. This was Ford's red color for only commercial vehicles for years. I don't know if there is a year of truck or an assembly plant relation to the stamped vs cast badges. The other difference I have heard about is the 48s had ribs in the back of the cab, in front of the bed. I used to own a 48, but can't remember if it had this feature. Anyone have pictures?

Here is a rear cab view of my July 1949 F-1 clearing showing 3 strengthening ribs that are concealed when the bed is in place.

Re: !949/1950 F1 differences
Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't they change the bed in 50' to the flat panel sides? I believe it was an option for the column shifter versus a floor shifter with a HD 3 speed or the light duty 3 speed for 50'.Ken

I have a '48 F6 with a fairly early vin. It was original red with stainless bars. I can't say how late they went but by '50 the Korean conflict was ramping up and it's safe to bet that ss and chrome were becoming more expensive. Painted grills became more common and whether it was mfg or customer choice I can't determine. EMBLEMS: All I can tell you is my 48s appear to be chromed potmetal, my 50 has stamped stainless steel emblems |
