The Ford F-Series is a legendary nameplate that continues to this day. In addition to pickup trucks, the F-Series is also known for panel vans and cab chassis trucks too. Naturally, it makes an excellent platform to build a custom vehicle, such as this 1952 Ford F-3 Custom that's up for sale with us right now. This is a build like no other and is still a blank canvas in the sense that you can choose what you'd like to do with its cavernous rear space. Let's discover more about this unique vehicle.
The new paint job that was reportedly done in 2023 saw this 1952 Ford F-3 Custom decked out in a catchy Dolphin's Teal and Orange two-tone theme. Indeed it does look stunning, aided by its white steel wheels with new Firestone Destination tires. Furthermore, the rear wheels are 'faired-in' with orange covers. We observe that all lighting and brightwork appear in great nick, and the current owner tells us that added rear-view mirrors are on board to enhance visibility due to the sizable box behind the cab. A hood vent has been added as well. Inside the cab, the original red color of the truck is visible, as is its classic bench seat and white-accented dashboard. The original push-button radio still sits in the dash but is reportedly not functioning. In fact, the interior has been left as-is, as a sort of time capsule to remind us of what this truck was like in its heyday. Whether you choose to keep it like this, restore it to period glory, or modernize it is entirely up to you. Meanwhile, the sizable cargo box behind the cab has been outfitted with shelves for storage but otherwise remains a blank canvas. Perhaps you can turn it into a camper. Or a food truck. Or a mobile office. The possibilities are endless. The vehicle's build plate tells us that it bears a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 6,800 pounds, so bear that in mind.
This 1952 Ford F-3 Custom appears to pack a V8 under the hood, possibly the 239ci Flathead V8 that was offered across the range, although we can't confirm it with certainty. A manual transmission sends power to the wheels. Furthermore, we're told that the truck has received a new starter, gas tank, brakes, belts, radiator and wiring unit.

One of the most prominent postwar trucks in Ford F-Series, also known as "Bonus Built" lineup was the 1951 pickup. Although not having the most handsome appearance by today's standards, being the first version of the Ford F-Series, it also represented the first generation of "true" trucks that were not based on a prior car platform. First-generation models come in eight variations starting with the lightest capacity, the F-1, and the F-8 being the version with the maximum capacity. The lineup included trucks ranging from half-ton pickups to three-ton commercial haulers, making it the most varied in Ford truck history. Today, classic truck collectors find little to no examples of this generation of trucks, at least in acceptable condition. In the realm of today’s truck collectors, it’s not easy to stop one of these as well, a 1951 Ford F3 Pickup. Located in Michigan, it bundles a joyful attitude and awaits its next buyer.
Ford’s F-Series are arguably the most popular range of trucks in the United States of America, with a history dating back to 1948 and spanning fourteen generations to date. How did it all start? Way back in 1948, the first F-Series marked the divergence of Ford’s car and truck businesses, and was also known as the Ford Bonus-Built. Available as a two-door pickup or four-door panel truck, the F-Series quickly gained a reputation for being tough and workmanlike. This is a resto-modded 1949 Ford F-3 302ci from Texas with just 75 post-restoration miles. F-3 signifies that it’s a ¾ ton truck with a heavy-duty rating. If classic Ford trucks are your thing, step right this way!
The Ford F-Series is widely regarded as one of the most important pickup truck series in the United States. Introduced in 1948, the series is now in its fourteenth generation and has ventured into the arena of electric mobility as well. With fourteen generations and over 40 million units sold as of 2022, you can easily find excellent examples from nearly every generation. This ninth-generation 1997 Ford F-350 XLT is one such vehicle. It comes from the last year of ninth-generation production, has traveled 86,671 miles so far, and lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Furthermore, we’re informed that the truck has undergone a recent full mechanical servicing, and invoices are available upon request.
There comes a time when the automotive world stands still as manufacturers churn out a car that takes the world by storm and changes the automotive landscape forever. Turn back the clock to the ’50s and Ford did just that with the release of the legendary Ford Thunderbird. From its iconic design to its performance, the Ford Thunderbird was a looker and a performance machine that helped the ’50s American automotive marketplace turn it up a notch. Present today is this lovely 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s American automotive icon has a reported 13,293 miles on the clock and looks factory fresh and ready for its new custodian.
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
Fun fact; the CJ in Jeep CJ stands for Civilian Jeep! By 1944, Willys-Overland had started planning a civilian variant of the popular military Jeep that had revolutionized battlefields all across the theaters of World War II. They knew that the War was coming to an end, and so would their bread-and-butter product. So, by 1945, the CJ-2A was introduced and sold over 214,000 units in just four years. CJ-1 and CJ-2 were prototypes and thus not available to the public. The series continued for decades, with the CJ-7 coming in 1976. This particular 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is thus one of over 379,000 units built over a 11-year production run. Bearing 7,101 miles on the odometer, this vehicle resides in Anderson, South California, and is waiting for a new custodian.
The 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
The GMC Jimmy is the sister vehicle of the Chevrolet Blazer. Both vehicles are basically SUV variants of the Chevy C/K-series of pickup trucks, and offer a more family-friendly value proposition. Until 1976, these SUVs also came with a removable hardtop, although it wasn’t as straightforward to remove as a typical convertible top. If you’d like to own one of these iconic vehicles, check out this 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD that’s for sale right now in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The vehicle has reportedly covered 58,000 miles so far.
