1948 Ford F-1



The 1948 Ford F1 is a stunning custom-built classic that seamlessly blends vintage style with modern performance. Finished in Matte Yellow, this truck commands attention with its bold presence and aggressive stance. The black and red interior adds a striking contrast, complementing the truck’s custom styling. Extensive modifications have been made, including a 5-inch top chop and 10-inch bed shortening, giving it a sleek, low-slung profile. Riding on an S10 frame, this F1 is equipped with a powerful 5.3L LS engine with a Trick Flow cam, delivering impressive performance. A rebuilt 4L60 transmission with a performance kit ensures smooth yet aggressive shifting, while a built Positraction rear end with 3:73 gears provides excellent traction. The truck also boasts a new fuel system, exhaust system with electronic cutouts and Hooker manifolds, and all-new front-end components. Every drive component, including the power steering pump, alternator, and sensors, has been replaced for optimal reliability. This F1 sounds incredible through the mufflers, but with the cutouts open, it delivers a raw, thunderous exhaust note that makes its presence known.
The Ford F1 was introduced in 1948 as part of Ford’s first post-war truck lineup, marking the beginning of the legendary F-Series. Designed for both work and versatility, the F1 set the standard for light-duty pickup trucks and became a favorite among farmers, businesses, and hot-rodders alike. Over the decades, it has become a sought-after classic, especially for those looking to customize and modernize its timeless design. With its extensive modifications, this 1948 Ford F1 stands as a perfect example of blending vintage aesthetics with modern performance, making it a one-of-a-kind street machine.
