Company I work for has a "Show Truck". It a 1948 Ford F1 pickup, the same year the company was founded. They also have a vintage Harley to put in the bed. Say it really brings people into their booth at the trade shows.

Anyway the only thing Ford about the truck is the actual body and hub caps, the suspension is Dodge K car to add disc brakes, the motor and drivetrian are chevy, and even the seats are out of a Camaro. They started with Ford and couldn't get the crate CobraJet running so, swapped the whole drivetrain for an LS1 setup.

Every time the management sees a totally stock F1 they drool all over it because theirs is just a street rod now.

Too bad, this is a '49.
