Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

A fully customized 1951 Ford F-1 street rod that transforms the classic early '50s truck profile with aggressive custom fabrication and modern chassis dynamics. Featuring a three-inch chopped roofline and suicide-style doors, the build pairs a bored .030-over 350ci Chevrolet V8 with a TH400 automatic transmission, a Mustang II front end with coilovers, and a limited-slip 8.8-inch rear end.

Description

This 1951 Ford F-1 Custom street rod is a fully customized truck built on a bare-metal restoration with under 1,900 miles since completion. Featuring a three-inch chopped roofline, suicide-style doors, and modern suspension geometry, the truck pairs classic Ford styling with Chevrolet V8 power and upgraded chassis components. It is offered with a clean New Jersey title.

The body was stripped to bare metal during the build, chopped three inches, and refinished in a custom white paint job accented by black flames. Body modifications include suicide doors, new glass, and a bed-mounted 17-gallon aluminum fuel tank.

The truck sits on 17-inch Coys alloy wheels wrapped in performance radial tires.

The cabin features a custom bench seat upholstered in leather with a spade emblem stitched into the backrest, complemented by matching door panels and cab insulation. Interior amenities include a Vintage Air Gen II heating and defrost system with a three-knob controller, a brand-new two-speed wiper motor, and a retro-style AM/FM radio head unit. The seller notes that while door panels and insulation are complete, the headliner remains to be finished.

Also featured in the interior is a woodgrain aftermarket steering wheel on a tilt steering column facing a set of functional Dolphin gauges set into the dashboard.

The engine bay houses a bored .030-over 350ci Chevrolet V8 equipped with "202" cylinder heads, a performance camshaft, an aluminum intake manifold, and a Brawler 650-cfm four-barrel carburetor with an electric choke. Additional additions include an aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan, headers, a new distributor, fuel pump, and alternator. Power is sent through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission enhanced with a mild shift kit, leading to an 8.8-inch rear end featuring a limited-slip differential and 3.73:1 gears.

The chassis is updated with a Mustang II-style front suspension conversion featuring adjustable coilovers alongside power rack-and-pinion steering. Stopping power is handled by a four-wheel power disc brake system utilizing a Speedway rear disc conversion, a 7-inch dual brake booster, a new master cylinder, an adjustable proportioning valve, and replacement brake lines.

Hi everyone. I purchased this truck in 2021 with only 600 miles on the build. Other then looking great it had a lot of issues with the suspension, brakes and some engine problems. Over the past few years I ended up replacing most of these components with new and added some creature comfort such as wiper motor and heat. Almost every component on the engine was replaced down to the spark plugs, wires, and oil pan. It starts right up and could easily cruise 70-80 mph on the highway. It definitely turns heads everywhere I drive it. Now that I have nothing to fix, Im looking for another project. Good luck bidding and god bless.
