Topic: F-1 Side View Mirrors

  I'm restoring my 1950 F-1 and I am trying to be as original as possible. Does anyone have any information (photos of, sources for, color of) the side view mirror(s) Ford put on the F-1s when they were new?

  Glenn, You may have better results obtaining a reply if you post this in the appropriate section. This one is dedicated for 1940...

  It was my mistake. I realized it right after I posted it. Unfortunately, as far as I know, once something is posted it's not possible (even for the author) to edit it out. I've tried.

  Glenn---
I do not own a 1950 Ford F-1 pickup, and never have, so my apologies if my assistance is inadequate for you.

I did an internet search - "1950 Ford F-1 pickup" and came up with a # of websites, including photos. A number of the trucks depicted in them have been hot-rodded, and don't appear to have the correct, original stuff on them. But the pictures that I did see, show unrestored examples of 1950 Ford F-1 pickups, and the outside mirrors seem to be of a gooseneck design, chrome-plated, and attach at the cab's top door hinge.

As for suppliers, check with "the usual suspects" - Bob Drake, Sacramento Vintage Ford, etc.

If any one of my esteemed fellow V8 Club members, who currently own or have owned, a 1950 Ford F-1, have information that contradicts the above, I respectfully defer to their superior knowledge.

Good luck with your restoration.

Tom
