When you combine the rugged curb appeal of a post-war pickup with skilled workmanship, it's pretty much a given that the result is going to turn heads. This 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod certainly delivers in the aesthetics department. Its Blue Lagoon paint is showing nicely, with no noticeable dents or dings, its collection of chrome and bright work is in fine shape, and it has a well-fitted appearance that serves notice that substantial time has gone into bringing it to its current level. But this classic Ford has more going for it than just its looks. It features a number of modifications that combine to create a great experience behind the wheel, including a far more modern and dependable drivetrain than it started out with, as well as an upgraded suspension that equips it with a more refined ride.
Glance inside and you'll likely appreciate how the interior balances an authentically vintage appearance with added functionality. The color-matched dash area encircles a set of upgraded Speedhut gauges recessed into a very sharp instrument cluster, with a pair of vents just below to bring cooled or warmed air from the aftermarket climate control system into the cabin. The bench seat blends tan cloth with black accents and is plenty comfortable enough for even long journeys. And as you look below, you'll see how the textured steel floor is complemented by black floor mats that tie in perfectly with the blackened tilt steering column and its aftermarket wheel.
Beneath the hood, a 5.0-cubic-inch, electronically fuel-injected V8 anchors a drivetrain that's well-suited for frequent driving, combining with a 4-speed automatic transmission with an overdrive gear to keep RPMs in check during highway driving. The added Mustang II front end brings several conveniences that boost the driving experience, including power rack and pinion steering that makes navigation a breeze, in addition to front power disc brakes that combine with the pair also in back to equip this Ford with fade-resistant stopping ability. That aforementioned Mustang II front end also includes front coilovers, yielding an improved ride, adjustability, and better handling than what can be achieved in stock configuration.
