1949 Ford F1 review from North America
"Excellent Truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the impellers broke.
The radiator hose rotted away, but only after 50 years.
General comments?
I believe that this truck is one of the best trucks I've ever owned. It's really easy to work on and has just been a great project. The 239 flathead V8 has good power and like most Fords, one can interchange Ford five bolt rims, making it easy to work on and reliable.
