 Very low reserve Here's a 51 ford f-1 with 48 front end.  I picked this up as unfinished project, which is how I'm selling it,  I was told by previous 10 yr owner that has a 1977 ford rebuilt 460 with cam, auto c-6 trans gone through by local trans shop.  The motor and trans starts drives shifts down the road, motor sounds good with no smoke, has a new HEI dist. and a New Aluminum race radiator keeps engine nice and cool no overheating.  I would put a electric fan on it and take mech fan off, as it sits above the radiator, could get hand caught if not careful and would cool and look better.  The engine sat for a spell so has old gas in it I would change feul filter and put new gas in it. Also does'nt have a choke so you have to pump gas to start. I would put a manual choke on to help with that.  Has a 89 s-10 front end with all wheel disc brakes powersteering and power brakes all works well and feels like it goes down the road straight.  Did'nt take over 55 mph.  Frame has been boxed in the rear, welds look abit sloppy but not too awful, its solid.  Has adjustable air bags in the rear.  The truck has had body work done in the past, and will need finished.  Has new Aluminum fuel cell mounted in rear.  No Tailgate Bed was custom made and a nice job.  Running boards are custom made look nice but will need bolted better to truck.  Has a homemade dual exhaust.  Has wheels adapters put on so ford wheels would fit on it.  I Believe it wheel run chevy wheels when those are taken off.  Tires are in good shape. Have the rear Glass and DS glass is ther but broken, PS glass and mechinism is gone.  Having a new windshield made, it will be included in the sale.  The doors shut ok but you have to shut the DS door hard for it to latch tight.  Seast are Bolted down and sets at a good hieght to drive.  Has new Dolpin Guages that seem to work , speedo works, The wiring for radio lights and radio will need finished, and the tailgights are just sitting in place not bolted in.  Not sure what lights work and which ones if any do.  Radio does'nt power up.  Does'nt have a key start, just flip a switch and push button starter.  The truck is drivable shifts good, needs a few odds and ends but would make a sweet Big Block truck when complete, or a sweet Ratrod, made to your liking, Comes with a clear open title in previous owners name.  The hood is just sitting on truck, it is in rough shape , not sure if it can be repaired or not, I will secure it for transport eight in bed of truck or on truck.
