This custom pickup was built under prior ownership using a 1948 Ford F-6 COE cab and a custom-fabricated pickup bed mounted on a newer frame. Power comes from a 460ci V8 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a Dana 60 rear end, and highlights include 16” alloy wheels, front disc brakes, and a stepside cargo bed with a storage box. Inside, red and white upholstery is joined by a Nardi steering wheel on a tilt column in addition to Dolphin gauges. Work performed since the seller’s acquisition in late 2024 has involved adding an electric fuel pump and replacing the carburetor, fuel tank, and dual exhaust system. This custom Ford COE pickup is now offered with a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The truck is finished in red with a white grille and front bumper, and business logos have been added to the doors. Pinstriping accents the hood, and embossed Ford script on the tailgate is highlighted in beige. The running boards are finished in black and feature built-in tool boxes, one of which houses the battery. Other details include a flush fuel-filler door, round side mirrors, teardrop taillights, and side exhaust outlets. The truck measures approximately 18’ long, 7’ tall, and 6.5’ wide.
A diamond-plate storage box is mounted in the cargo bed. Black bedliner has been applied to the cargo floor, and wear on the surface can be viewed in the gallery.
Eight-lug 16” alloy wheels are mounted with 255/70 Ironman Country H/T tires. The truck rides on coil springs up front and longitudinal leaf springs out back, and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.
The seats are trimmed in red and white vinyl that extends to the headliner, engine cover, and door panels. The dashboard was painted to complement the upholstery, and black carpet lines the floor and rear bulkhead. A central stop light is mounted inside the rear window.
The Nardi steering wheel is mounted to a tilt column and sits ahead of a Dolphin 140-mph speedometer and combination gauge. The six-digit odometer shows 2,800 miles.
The 460ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor that was installed under current ownership. The fuel tank, sending unit, and spark plugs were replaced in February 2025, and an electric fuel pump and a dual exhaust system were also fitted.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C6 three-speed automatic transmission and a Dana 60 rear end.
The truck is titled using the VIN 88RT68062, which appears on a tag attached to the firewall and is consistent with a 1948 Ford 1-ton pickup.
