That sure is a nice `49 a Fordbarner just posted. Lets see some pictures of your F-1. I have mine tore down again this winter. I am replacing a rear mount in hopes of getting rid of the clutch chatter. Too, it is a good time to clean and paint the floor board, install seat belts, etc.

Here's mine:

Nice truck Shadetree,

here's mine, a '51 as well. Our next project is to install a '49 Merc transmission with Over Drive in the F-1.

Here is my original 49 f1

Vic,
That is a great looking truck, wish mine was the color of yours instead of maROON.

Mikesfordf1, yours was what I was looking for when I found mine. Don't touch it cosmetically, enjoy it as it is.

49 F-1, 226 3 speed 6 cylinder. Restored from a rough rusty old farm truck. Owned 20 years, restoration took 7, off and on. As a kid in the 50s, like any true disciple of Henry, I hated 6s. Today I have to admit the 6s are wonderful engines.

My F-1 is a 1950. I call it the Heinz 57 as it has parts on it from all over the country! It's a long way off from seeing the road.............. It has progressed some since these pics were taken . Glass is all in, interior is 99% done. I have all the sheetmetal, some NOS. Time for body work.

Heres a couple pics of my 50,most of you here probably have seen these before but I'll include them anyway.It was a Texas truck all it's life,it was brought back to Wisconsin about 12 years ago,but just sat in a garage.I found it on Craigslist and bought it.The V8 flatty was stuck when I bought it,I soaked it in diesel fuel and atf for a few days and got it loose.The truck runs really well I've put over 6000 miles on it in a short period of time and it runs and drives awesome.It does use a little oil but I can live with that.I've just fix whats wrong and enjoy it the way it is,I don't plan on restoring it just maintaing it.I'm lucky to have quite a few nice cars but this one I think I enjoy the most,it seems to take my worries away when driving it and I get a ton of complments on it!!It's the slowest and roughest thing I own but I drive it to work everyday reguardless of the weather.I park it for winter when the start salting the roads.

Ken Crans, How many pick up's are you working on ? A Corn Binder is an International. Keep up your good work.

Dick,
Like you I disliked 6 cylinders and mine had one in it that needed work so I changed it out to a V-8. I have heard great comments like yours about the six since. This was the first flathead six I have owned. The V-8 was expensive to rebuild but the swap was easy.

SHADETREE .......................
Let us see the front of that truck.
Sure looking good !
