1951 Ford F8

1951 Ford Other Description:

1951 Ford F8 front end, 1950 cab, mounted on 1985 one ton E350 Ford chassis, 300 ci truck engine which runs but has a knock in bottom end. This truck has been a blessing to me and I hope someone buys it who will love it like I have. It was well built; welded, bolted and fiberglass where needed. The engine has an Offenhauser 4V intake with a 650 cfm Edelbrock carb. The tranny is C-6 that works well. The differential is good. I took the interior from a 93 VW camper and used the curtains, seat (that folds out to a full size bed), table and counter tops. It has a sink with a 2 1/2 gal fresh water and a 6 gal gray water tank. It has a sink, a 2 burner stove and a port-a-potty. There is also an air conditioner in the rear left window that cools the interior down nicely when you can plug into the exterior 120 volt inlet. The cab has recent gages: speedometer, fuel, oil pressure, water temperature, tach and voltmeter, that all work. The lights all work. Tires are going to need replaced in the next 10,000 miles. There are 23,000 miles on the odometer and the E350 had 94,000 on it. The cab has electric wipers, a CB and up-dated radio with plugins for i-pod. The truck has power steering and power brakes. The gears are good for the highway; 3000 rpm gives you 70 mph. There is no gas tank behind the seat. I put a new tank under the back of the truck in 2010. It has a 130 amp one wire alternator and a RV/Marine battery. I wish I could fix this truck myself but I'm 70 years old with a bad back, so it's time to let someone else enjoy it. It weighs 5700 lb. NO RESERVE!
