'51 F-1, slightly modified....

[tinman52]

This truck belongs to a friend of mine here locally....
It is heavily customized and runs a Chrysler hemi with a blower. Personally I think it's kinda over the top....what do you guys think?

 

[52 Merc]

I'd say 'heavily customized' would be an understatement. But it's tastefully done and proportional. It seems to be well done. It wouldn't be my personal choice for a truck to own, but for what it is and the work done, I like it!

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing. I think that ride is pretty sweet...not a fan of the paint color or flames, but paint is easily enough changed.

I agree, it's extremely well done. Too bad it's not a ford powertrain.

The interior is clean and simple. I like that. But, he didn't build it to please us.........

I agree with you Doug, never sat well with me when the engine choice does not belong with the vehicle. Don't mind if the years are off on parts, but I'm a stickler for keeping it all Ford, JMO.

He didn't build it....he bought it that way. I agree, a "cammer" would be better in there.
Overall, it is a pretty cool truck......just thought I would show it off a little for him.

That is a nice looking truck.

Only things that stand out as something I'd do differently, are the mirrors, and not bobbing the rear of the bed. Even the color is fine by me. It's a great looking custom, and that's coming from a traditional kinda guy.





Oh, wait! It's a manure spreader, dang.

 

[smokey]

Nice looking truck.

I don't think I've seen that truck around - maybe will this summer...

Chrysler hemi is cool regardless what it powers, and I bet it hauls.

Lots of work there... nice rig!
