If old cars are meant to be driven, just as they were when new, then doesn’t it follow that old trucks like this 1949 Ford F-6 for sale on Hemmings.com are meant to be put to work in the field and on the farm and on the jobsite, just as they were when new? This one certainly seems up to the task, with a full restoration, some minor updating, and a heavy-duty chassis that still looks capable of some Herculean tasks. From the seller’s description:
recently restored to its original condition. All the sheet metal was striped down to the bear metal and some restoration was made due to some rust (fortunately not much); the body work was professionally done. The engine is a V8 Flat Head, 100 percent original and running great. The transmission is a 3 speed. The electrical system was changed from a 6 volt to a 12 volt.
All the brake shoes have been reconstructed, all wheel bearings replaced. The original rims (widow makers) have been replaced mainly for safety reasons.
The truck bed is solid wood with several coats of marine grade varnish, it has a beautiful spacious hand made wooden tool box also covered with marine grade varnish.
Finding a truck in this condition is extremely rare and next to imposible due to the fact that many of these trucks where left out in the fields to rust away.
