1951 Ford F-2 Flatbed
VIN: BTKC10654
This 1951 Ford F-2 came from a working ranch in eastern Colorado, who the Seller states was the original owner. The Seller, who's a cattle guy himself, acquired the truck in 2018 and then the restoration process began. The odometer is currently showing 97686 miles, which the Seller states are original. This truck was beautifully restored from the frame up, to include the lights.
Body/Paint: There wasn't any damage to the original body of the truck. All parts were removed for restoration. The truck originally came with a red exterior paint but after restoration the color of Viper Red was chosen as the replacement paint color. A new oak flatbed was installed along with the mini racks. The suspension was restored as well. There are a couple imperfections to the paint, see the photos.
Interior: The interior color stayed with the original black color scheme. The carpet is new as well as the upholstery. The original owner's manual is still in the truck.
Mechanicals: It has the original Flathead V-8 engine with the original 4 speed manual transmission powering the truck. The Brakes were not replaced but they were reviewed. The front bumper, bed slats, headlight rings and wheel rings were all replaced or added. The Seller states the original 6-volt system was not changed out. Not much chrome is on the truck. The truck originally came with a flatbed/hydraulic dump system. The Hydraulic cylinders are still in place and the Seller had the Restorer remove the supply tank and the PTO system. The Seller reports there are no oil leaks and the engine does not smoke.
Components: The Seller reports all components are in good working order.
