f1ford48 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hi Andy-I have a 1/1 1948 F-1-but its a pickup- I remember seeing a factory F-1 stake bed like this in Salinas back in 1977-the whole truck painted gold! it had the FORD script bed. thats the only one ive ever seen.I think ford offered the stake in the F100 series up till the late 60's.

AzTom Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Very Nice. Do you have any Work in Progress photos? Sure would be great to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ford48 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi Tom- this was built long ago- I dont have any ''in progress'' photos. but I can tell you the stake bed is from the 34 ford 1/18 truck.. the running boards , 1/4 fenders and frame for the bed scratch built. a pretty easy conversion.

Greg Cullinan Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Nice job. Looks like a bear of a truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Very nice. And indeed- you could get a factory Ford stake bed platform, the one on this truck is the same style used from 1932 well into the 1970's with few changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
