The one that started it all, today’s Ford F-Series of pickup trucks can be directly traced back to 1948’s first generation. The first all-new design of pickup truck since World War II ended, the first generation F-Series was offered in multiple variants, with the F-1 bearing a capacity of ½ ton. This particular 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup is a little different, because it’s a restomod. The current owner tells us that the truck has received a frame-off restoration, plus a 305ci Chevy engine from a 1987 pickup with just 3,000 miles on it. That, plus many other refinements make this one excellent classic truck to own, drive, and cherish.
Painted in black, this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup sits noticeably lower than stock. That’s because of the 3-inch front axle drop, and 3-inch rear leaf spring suspension being lowered by the same amount as well. Then, you’ve got a set of 18-inch American Racing wheels with new Yokohama tires. Closer inspection also reveals some intricate red detailing along the black exterior, while as you’d expect, the truck’s eye-catching chrome elements have been restored to perfection. Before we enter its passenger cabin, let’s pause and appreciate the wood-lined cargo bed that’s definitely too beautiful to toss some cement bags or a load of two-by-four in. The interior of this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup provides some creature comforts that weren’t offered for the F-Series in 1951, the most notable being air conditioning. While black is the dominant color, the two seats feature orange inserts, and the steering wheel has been replaced with a sportier three-spoke affair. There’s more orange detailing on the dashboard as well, and you’ll note that the windows have been tinted too.
The 305ci V8 that propels this 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup has been upgraded with a medium performance cam, a new K&N air filter, new AC Delco spark plugs, and new Gates XL alternator and AC belts. There’s also a new Edelbrock 1406 carburetor, and a 17-gallon fuel tank. Drive goes rearwards via a rebuilt Chevy TH350 automatic transmission with a 2500rpm stall speed torque converter, and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 31-spline axle. There’s also a limited slip differential with a 3.89 final drive ratio. Meanwhile, this truck enjoys 4-wheel GM disc brakes to ensure that the added power is met with enhanced braking capabilities.

Jack Roush found his niche as an engine development engineer at the Ford Motor Company. A few years later, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his own company called Roush Performance Engineering. With the experience he gained, he and his talented team developed state-of-the-art muscle cars that combine world-class handling with Detroit-born grunt. Not long after, his efforts sparked an overwhelming demand for his engines and components. What we have here is a 2017 Ford Mustang GT Roush Stage 3, a solid example of what Roush is capable of. According to them, you can experience raw power and meticulous handling and braking capabilities with this car. It is located in Franklin, Massachusetts with just 23,014 miles on its clock.
Ford’s third generation Mustang was introduced in 1979, and quickly became known as the Fox Body, due to it sitting on Ford’s Fox platform. Designed by Jack Telnack, the third generation came as a coupe, convertible and hatchback. Thankfully, it retained the rear-wheel drive layout, despite Ford considering making it front-wheel drive during its early development days. While the Fox Body wasn’t immediately a hit, it’s considered a nice modern classic ʼStang these days. If you’re a Fox Body fan or eager to see what the Fox is like, here’s a nice 1985 Ford Mustang GT for sale. The car has seen plenty of work to make it better than factory, and comes with just 2,000 miles on the clock after a comprehensive overhaul that includes its interior, exterior, and mechanical bits.
Jeep is well-known for making capable off-roaders, but did you know that they also make pickup trucks? The Gladiator is their current contender in the segment, but between 1986 and 1992, the Comanche held the torch.

So if you’re interested in picking up a relatively modern classic pickup truck with a difference, check out this 20,077-mile 1986 Jeep Comanche that we’re offering for sale. The truck comes with all maintenance up to date, for added peace of mind.

Ford’s epic sport utility vehicle, the Bronco is one of the Blue Oval’s most desirable vehicles in North America. When it debuted in 1965, Ford had a hard time keeping up with demand. Then, when they discontinued it in 1996, they were lucky that there weren’t crowds with pitchforks gathered outside their headquarters. Thankfully, the Bronco is back, and selling once again like hot cakes. However, if you want a classic Bronco, there are five fantastic generations to pick from. This 1972 Ford Bronco comes from the very first generation, and is an excellent example of what made the Bronco so sought after. Having undergone a frame-off build by Gateway Bronco in Hamel, Illinois, this vehicle is up for sale.
