1950 Ford F-1 Pickup Truck For Sale
California Truck * Meadow Green * Flathead V8 * 3-Speed Manual * 12-Volt Conversion
This 1950 Ford F-1 Pickup is a charming, largely stock-style example finished in period- correct Meadow Green with contrasting red wheels. Purchased in Southern California approximately 10 to 11 years ago, the truck was specifically sought out for its clean, rust-free California background and has since become a well-loved member of the family. Rather than turning it into a heavily modified restomod, the owner intentionally preserved the F-1's simple, vintage character, making only thoughtful upgrades to improve safety and everyday usability.

It retains its classic instrumentation, three-spoke steering wheel, traditional 3-speed manual transmission, and period appearance while benefiting from a 12-volt electrical conversion, turn signals, seat belts, upgraded lighting, and a third brake light. Best of all, this is a truck that has actually been enjoyed. It has participated in local parades, served as a Christmas display, appeared in family photo shoots, made trips to the hardware store, and has been driven regularly throughout the owner's decade of ownership.

California-Born F-1
The current owner found the truck while his daughter was living in California. She and her husband were able to inspect it locally before it was purchased and shipped east. Its Southern California history was a major attraction, with the owner describing the truck as having no rust when purchased.

The body is finished in Meadow Green, a color offered by Ford during the period, and the combination with red steel wheels gives the truck exactly the kind of classic postwar appearance the owner wanted. Exterior Highlights:
* Meadow Green finish
* Contrasting red wheels
* Southern California history
* Purchased approximately 10-11 years ago
* Classic F-1 body and grille
* Oak bed floor
* Protective bed mats
* Rhino-style protective coating on bed sides and front
* Added third brake light
The oak bed provides a great foundation for someone who wants to further finish the wood. A small test section was previously finished to demonstrate how the completed bed could look, while protective mats have been used during regular use.

Flathead V8 & 3-Speed Manual "Three on the Tree"
Under the hood is the traditional Ford Flathead V8, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. The truck retains the straightforward driving experience that makes these early Ford pickups so enjoyable. Starting is classic old-Ford simplicity: turn the key, use a little choke when necessary, press the starter button, and the Flathead comes to life.

The truck is described as reliable and easy to start, and during the road test it comfortably reached speeds of more than 50 mph. Mechanical Highlights:
* Ford Flathead V8
* 3-speed manual transmission
* Column-shifted "three on the tree"
* 12-volt electrical conversion
* Working emergency brake
* Added turn signals
* Modernized 12-volt lighting
* Third brake light
* Regularly driven and enjoyed
Carefully Preserved Interior
One of the nicest aspects of this F-1 is what hasn't been changed. The dashboard retains its original-style instrumentation rather than being replaced with a modern digital setup.

The original-style three-spoke steering wheel remains in place, preserving the simple working-truck atmosphere of the cabin. The vinyl bench seat has been refinished, and seat belts have been added for improved safety. Turn-signal controls have also been incorporated without dramatically altering the vintage appearance.

Interior Highlights:
* Refinished vinyl bench seat
* Original-style instrumentation
* Three-spoke steering wheel
* 3-speed column shifter
* Added seat belts
* Added turn signals
* 12-volt electrical system
* Simple, largely period-correct presentation
It's a cabin that gives you what you need without losing the character that makes a 1950 Ford pickup special. A Truck That's Been Enjoyed
This F-1 hasn't spent the last decade hidden away. The owner has enjoyed it in local parades, including a St.

Patrick's Day parade where its Meadow Green paint made it a natural fit. Family and friends have ridden in the truck during events, and it has also been decorated with shamrocks and other seasonal decorations. At Christmas, the truck has been displayed with a Christmas tree in the bed and a wreath on the front, and photographers have used it as a backdrop for family holiday photographs.

It has also done what pickups were originally intended to do-make local trips, including runs to the hardware store. Those experiences have made the truck part of the family for approximately a decade, rather than simply another vehicle sitting in a collection. Classic Postwar Ford Character
Ford introduced the F-Series for 1948, and trucks like this F-1 helped establish the formula that would ultimately make the F-Series one of America's most recognizable pickup lines.

This example captures much of that original experience while incorporating sensible upgrades that make it easier to use in modern traffic. The 12-volt conversion, turn signals, seat belts, improved lighting, and third brake light add usability and visibility, while the Flathead V8, 3-speed column shift, original-style gauges, bench seat, and classic steering wheel maintain the vintage driving experience. With its Southern California history, Meadow Green finish, contrasting red wheels, Flathead V8, 3-speed manual, 12-volt conversion, oak bed, refinished bench seat, added seat belts and turn signals, working emergency brake, and approximately decade-long ownership, this 1950 Ford F-1 is an appealing classic pickup that isn't afraid to be driven.

It's the kind of old Ford that can be taken to a local show, decorated for a holiday parade, used for a weekend run, or simply driven on a beautiful afternoon-and that's exactly how its current owner has enjoyed it. For Sale By Owner Located In Cutchogue, NY 11935
