Everything about that pickup screams Heavy Duty, and it looks to be in great shape! I'm quite sure the 9' pickup box made it's debut with the F-350 in 1953, in which case it's still an 8 footer. And to the original poster, the F3 was rated as one ton pickup, the F2 being the 3/4 ton. The wheels would be 17" widowmaker typle multi-piece wheels. If the tires are 7.50 x 17, they look bigger somehow but I have never seen an 8.25 x 17. There's a '51 F3 sitting in a field a half mile from me. Owner bought it on the mainland a year ago and has since lost interest. Those photos are inspiring me to get in touch with the guy. In the meantime I'll just enjoy yours from afar. Love to see more pics. Does it have the 6 cyl H or the 8RT V8?
