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.

GMC and Chevy have been making pickup trucks together for ages. In fact, this stretches way back to the Chevy Task Force series and beyond. When the popular Chevy C/K series debuted in 1960, naturally, GMC would get its own variants. The GMC 1000 was the half-ton variant, equivalent to a Chevy C10 or K10. In terms of mechanicals and styling, the models were basically indistinguishable except for badging, unlike today, where the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra have some visual differences. However, this 1966 GMC 1000 Fleetside is definitely a stand-out sort, because it’s a restomod. Packing a potent engine and some neat creature comforts, you could be the next lucky owner of this beauty. But you’d better act fast!
