Recently rebuilt engines don't always find their way into classic pickups, but this 1951 Ford F-1 in red paint received exactly that upgrade with approximately 2,000 miles since completion. Chrome American Racing wheels measuring 18 inches up front and 20 inches out back create a staggered setup wrapped in 245/40R18 front and 275/45/R20 rear rubber. Front bumper delete and upgraded headlights give this F-1 a clean appearance while real wood planks line the bed with a lift-up panel that reveals the air ride system components underneath.
Inside the cab, tan and beige leather covers the bench seat in a custom two-tone configuration. Custom tilt column holds a classic-style steering wheel, while Lokar floor shifter and billet pedals occupy the driver area. Classic-style gauges fill the instrument panel, and the E-Level by Accuair controller mounted on the dash manages air ride adjustments. Manual crank windows operate smoothly, and seatbelts secure occupants. Door panels match the seat materials with proper fit and finish throughout the interior. Provisions for air conditioning are present, but currently it is blowing warm, so will need servicing to blow cold again.
Under the hood, a 302 V8 from a 2001 Explorer now runs with approximately 2,000 miles since the rebuild. Headers and mild performance cam handle breathing duties, while 4-speed AOD automatic transmission manages gear changes. Air bag suspension front and rear with adjustable controller allows multiple ride heights from low show stance to practical driving position and power steering and power front disc brakes handle control duties. An aluminum radiator with electric fan manage cooling, while side exit exhaust provides the proper sound.
