This 1949 Ford F-3 pickup is said to have been refurbished in the 1970s with a repaint and reupholstery of its bench seat as well as work on its 239-ci flathead V8, which is paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Service in 2013 consisted of carburetor and brake master cylinder rebuilds along with replacement of ignition, braking, and fuel system components.
The bed and cab were repainted their current blue-green in 1971 according to the seller. Exterior details include a beige front grille as well as a black front bumper and running boards. A single taillight and two reflectors are affixed to the bed, the floor of which is comprised of painted wood planks with matching metal runners.
Black 17″ eight-lug steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and 7.0/7.5″ Excelsior Stahl Sport Radial tires. Service performed in 2013 reportedly included rebuilding the brake master cylinder as well as replacing the front and rear wheel cylinders, brake hoses, and drums.
The cab features brown vinyl upholstery on the bench seat, kick panels, and headliner as well as a rubber floor cover. Amenities include a period heater in the passenger-side footwell in addition to a defroster, sun visors, and a glovebox. A 100-mph speedometer is positioned to the left of gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and battery charging. The five-digit odometer shows 30k miles, with total mileage unknown.
The main and camshaft bearings, piston rings, camshaft gear, and water pump for the 239-ci flathead V8 were reportedly changed during the early 1970s work. Service performed in 2013 included a water pump rebuild as well as replacement of the spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, and ignition points.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, which is said to have been serviced in 2013 along with the rear differential. The fuel tank and filter were also replaced according to the seller.
