Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is presenting this 1952 Ford F-1 Roadster Pickup. customized over every inch. So check out the vibrant exterior, custom leather interior, upgraded suspension, overdrive transmission, and V8 power that all come together on this very memorable machine.The first thing you notice about this one is the style. Cobalt Blue is a modern color, and this one has a terrific shine. So it radiates a custom style even before people recognize the unique no-top silhouette and aggressive forward-leaning stance. Everything from the deleted bumpers to the wide exhaust tips shows off a nice custom sense of style. There are even custom surfboards with a rack over the diamond plate truck bed. But this roadster pickup also doesn't lose its classic heritage. It's nicely integrated into the details. For example, this may have a hot rod look with the larger rear tires, but the full package utilizes classic red steelies and two-piece trim. The real wood side stakes on the truck bed are truly vintage, and they are also pleasing to the eye as a nice step-down transition between the cab and bed. And since the early F-Series trucks had this unique grille, we love that it's such a shining centerpiece against the dark blue front end.The interior is a full custom setup with the kind of saddle leather that would make a new F-150 King Ranch jealous. So we're glad it stays on display in this roadster for everyone to see. There are thoughtful details for added comfort, like cup holders, seatbelts, and a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with aux input. The power windows make for a quick and easy wind buffer if you take this cruiser up to highway speeds. And it really is meant to be a driver. That's why you have upgrades like the banjo-style wood-rimmed steering wheel, a tilt column, and a full set of dolphin gauges.When you look in the engine bay, the smooth color-matched inner walls, flame-etched valve covers, polished details, and big air grabber are exactly what you want to see in such a custom vehicle. But beyond the style is the substance of a hardy 350 cubic-inch Chevy V8 with later-style center-bolt covers. It has nice power upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. You'll even spot good supporting components like an HEI distributor, an electric fan, and upgraded pulleys. It makes for a strong powerhouse that's part of an overall upgraded driver. As you look underneath, you'll see an updated frame with an independent front end. There's also a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Add in power steering, power brakes, and front discs, and you can see this roadster pickup is ready for far more than just trips to the beach.This is a unique and comfortable head-turner made from an iconic classic.
