For Sale: 1942 Ford 1-Ton Pickup in Arlington, Texas for sale in Arlington, TX
Vehicle Description 1942 Ford 1 Ton Flatbed Before the boom of the F-Series trucks in 1948, Ford and all automakers for that matter had an interesting decade.
With the arrival of WWII all civilian automobile manufacturing halted in order to reserve vehicles and important commodities for the war effort.
In 1942 the production of pickups stopped on March 3rd making all 1942's pretty unique.
Production continued for the military but only special essential civilian users had access to dealer held vehicles throughout the following few years.
This cool 1942 Ford is the larger 1 ton model and is a flatbed.
Looking it over you can tell this thing was designed to be a reliable hard worker back in the day.
Days as a commercial truck on the farm are now behind it but that certainly doesn't mean it couldn't still be used that way if you desired.
It has since been gone through and redone making it a unique show truck that would be ideal for things like parades, hay rides and car shows.
The body is painted in a nice Bright Red paired with Black fenders.
The bumpers and trim are also painted Black to tie it all together.
It has wide adjustable side mirrors along with a back up camera at the rear view mirror.
The glass is all good and it has a two piece front windshield.
The custom made rear bed with wood stake sides looks great and has a tool box with plenty of storage space underneath.

All of the lights are working properly including the roof and fender mounted lights.
It has brand new 16 wheels with a dually set up in back.
The tires are new and along with the wheels have under 500 miles on them.
Mechanically the truck has been totally gone through and set up to comfortably cruise down the freeway at 65-70 mph easily.
It may have a vintage exterior but mechanically it has all been freshened up to make it a comfortable driver.
In now has a new 260hp 350V8 GM crate motor with less than 300 miles on it.
It has a chrome air cleaner, nice finned valve covers and runs strong.
It has zero cooling issues with a 3 row heavy duty aluminum radiator and electric fan.
The transmission is a Turbo 400 automatic that has under 500 miles since it was rebuilt.
During the restoration the old chassis was replaced with a stronger duty 1 ton 1977 GM chassis.
The brakes are all fresh with a new master cylinder, brake booster and brake lines.
The fronts have been converted to discs and in addition to power brakes it was upgraded with power steering as well.
The truck has been completely rewired with an EZ wiring 21 circuit harness to eliminate any electrical concerns.
The interior is all brand new and the cab received a layer of Dynamat prior to installation.
The Black carpet, upholstery, and headliner all look great.

Through the floor is a tall Lokar shifter and Lokar emergency brake level.
The dash is painted Red with stainless steel trim along the center.
