Know as "Stubby" A true unicorn in the grain truck world!
Special care has been taken to leave this old Ford truck in its previous 90's updated box and cab patina. Repainted and cleared inside and out, 1948 International Harvester # 50 Gloss Red, complimented by a tan box. Extremely straight body work and paint.
This F3HD was part of a collection of over 50 restored tractors in Colton, South Dakota for many years. All prior years it lived as a working farm truck around Hills, Minnesota. Once even hauling a 2000 lb bull to Sioux City, IA.
Daily driver status is nearing completion. From top to bottom and inside out this truck is a true gem. No surface or component left untouched. Museum quality attention to detail, frame on preservation. This F3 will be ready to be put back to work or simply enjoy its nostalgic driving feel.
More updated photos and build information to come.
