December 2004 TOTM: 1951 Ford F1 Pickup

We decided to feature a TOTM that isn't an F-150 this month. The Truck of the Month for December 2004 belongs to Mike from NY. Mike is known as dirtrules in the forums.

Fords run in the family. My parents, brother, and my wife and I combined own about 15 fords. The oldest is a 1928 Ford Roadster. We have several of the F1 trucks. One f our newer cars, not a Ford ;)is a 1969 Dodge Coronet 500 Premier Convertible. Cars are what we do...
