Commonly referred to as the forgotten ones the 1946 and 1947 Ford half-ton trucks were the break between Fords F-100 model distinctions. These trucks were never specifically given a unique model name; rather they were designated as a Ford truck or pickup. This truck was purchased by Arnold and Ruth Wiley of Lawrence, Kansas in 1952. The truck saw regular use until the mid-60s when it was stored to be used only on special occasions. By the 1970s the family had moved the truck to storage in an enclosed barn, until 2013 when Mr. Wiley contracted Kevin Holbrook to complete the restoration process. Recently benefiting from a paint job, this truck is a show-stopper; painted in the original dark green with a cream secondary color. The interior was reupholstered with Mocha Brown vinyl bench seat with green piping and new headliner. Under the dashboard a period correct heater box is located too. During the restoration process the frame, inside and outside the cab, and driveline were painted using the exterior green color. The entire brake system has been gone through with new brake lines and rebuilt drums, along with the fuel system. Also the fuel tank was cleaned and lined with a rust prevention material, preventing future fuel delivery issues. A new floor pan was welded in the cab and is covered by a new rubber floor mat. Also the turn signals, headlights, and brake lights were replaced modern LED lightbulbs. After sitting for 45 plus years, all that was required from starting the engine was replacing the fluids and the carburetor gasket! Mr. Wiley stated that his intention was to keep the truck as original as possible; work was done only to ensure the mechanical safety of this very original truck. He also stated both the engine and transmission, to the best of his knowledge, as never been removed or rebuilt. Although during the restoration process the transmission, wheel bearings, and differential were serviced. All of the fluids and seals have been changed and replaced. Everything has been gone though and sorted with this truck, would make a fantastic show truck, shop truck, or a weekend cruiser. Odometer currently reads 46,102 and is believed to be original, however, due to age of vehicle truck is sold as is and mileage exempt on a clean clear Oklahoma title. It also should be noted that currently the horn is inoperable. Please call us for more details. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN: 99C733575
