This 1952 Ford F2 with 24,000 original miles never left the farm until 1980 and was acquired in Ohio.
The F2 was a 3/4 ton truck with long bed, wider bed, and higher walls.
This F2 has the optional 5-Star Package (65 coil spring seat with two tone upholstery, cigar lighter, additional sound deadening on the doors, floors, and rear cab panels, armrests on both doors, bright metal for the windshield molding, chrome vent window frames and divider bars, dome light, door locks on each door, door panels and body panels, dual wipers, headlining backed by 1 ½ inch glass wool padding, locking glove compartment, twin horns, and two extra chrome bars on he hood side trim).
Rear Wheel Restoration
Often the rear wheels of tractors are filled with salt water for extra weight. If/when the tubes leak, salt begins to damage the wheel rims.
With signs of corrosion, I was hesitant to take on the wheel restorations. Luckily, the corrosion inside was minor and no signs of any salt. After removing tires and tubes from the rims, they wheel rims were sandblasted, epoxy primed inside and out, and finished in the correct shade of silver enamel paint. The wheel disks were also sandblasted, epoxy primed, and painted the correct body color. When reassembling, new tubes were installed with the correct locking valve stems.
