Default 1949 F1 ride into town to chase some parts

Weather was nice so I wanted to put a few miles on my pickup.
Come along for the ride.

Sweet! Thanks for taking us along. I enjoyed the ride and your truck sounds nice. I make similar trips in my '51 F1 but I will often stop for a coffee.
Life is good.

It was a fine ride.
Glad you turned the heater on when you did. I was getting cold!

Nice ride.

So, it's a small enough town that everybody knows where you're headed without turn signals?

Lots of agriculture in the area, they are used to tractors down town. I throw a hand signal out now and then (same in my 30 coupe) but not sure anyone knows what they mean anymore.

When I get around to it I'll get some turn signal on it.

It's obviously not a correct heater but was in it when I bought it, leaked really bad. Looked for a correct one, but anything any good was a fortune. Got to thinking that it's just part of it's history as a farm truck, found a NOS core (62-64 Chevy/GMC/Corvette) and repaired it... installed it a little nicer too. Got the 2-speed switch off of ebay, have no idea what it's for but it looks period correct.

Heat and defog/defrost selectable, a nice creature comfort!

Quite pleasurable to drive now. Running, steering, stopping great. I hope to get new tires and the stock wheels/hubcaps back on this year.

Thanks from me too Art! I feel like I just got off the island (twice this past year) and took a trip to Whatcom County. Truck looks and sounds great and looks like no play at all in the steering. Great video and great job on the truck!

Thanks for sharing! I had a '50 pickup that was my daily driver while attending college in Spokane in the 60's. Have been thru your area many times when we could cross the border..............

You're welcome guys, seems like everything we do these days is virtual.
GB, you getting "island fever"? Join the club, feels like an island here too.
Luckily we've had plenty to keep us busy. I still have plenty to do to the F1, a few things to my 30 coupe, and the other coupe is a 31... do I dare say "hotrod". For the record, I didn't destroy the 31, the guy bought the car, pulled it apart and took the wood out. Lifted it up in the rafters with a fork-lift twisting it up pretty good. My plan is not to change the body at all, mounts just as stock.

I have never owned or even thought much about hot rods, but that is a very cool looking hot rod. I have seven spaces that are under a roof. I think one is empty. I would have bought that one too. At 67 it's too late for a mid life crisis that's for a 38 year old, but a 3rd childhood? Sure, why not.
