1949 Ford F1 review from North America
"A great truck, but you need to be able to work on it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats worn.
Exhaust rusted badly.
Body was beginning to rust badly, could be patched.
Needed work when first acquired, but ran like a champ after some work, very reliable.
General comments?
Good performance for a truck. Though old it would still pass most other vehicles on the freeway.
Good reliable engine and transmission.
A lot of fun to own and drive.
