Love the truck I had one sold it for my sons college tuition and regret it every day! Will be getting another one soon I hope,good luck with it and enjoy it they are really great trucks to own

I believe the "T" is for throttle. You can adjust the rpms with that and the knob on the turn signals may be for 4 way flashers...idk? Such a nice ride!👍😎

Nice truck good luck with it. I have a 1951 F-1 also it was a farm truck so it’s in the same condition as yours. Original 6 volt system still. The T is for throttle like the cruise control of today. The knob below the turn signal is your 4 way flashers. Have fun with it. Hard to come by these days!

Great info. Ty!

[@Sal-xi9qq]

Good luck with it!

[@glenngoodrich5244]

T = Throttle control. You can pull it out to set fast idle to warm it up.

[@AlexAnderson-v2o]

Don't be surprised if that mileage is correct ! Overall condition would support that. My '52 was in almost same condition & had only 42,000 ml.

Looks like a deluxe model

That may be a late 70s F100 “true” overdrive, not a 4 speed: 3 speed with overdrive. Check into it. That was quite the hot setup a few years ago, it would make your F1 highway ready.

[@cmlloyd1969]

Thanks for the input. Based on the numbers on the transmission box, it's a 1984 Ford transmission though we're still not sure exactly what.

[@IowaMercMan]

@@cmlloyd1969 I think you scored. That will be a sweet setup.

[@jimmoravec1326]

I think I would convert it back to 6 volts

[@jakeschneider5491]

What’s the mpg of your truck?

[@cmlloyd1969]

Unfortunately my speedometer and odometer stopped working so I can't track it. I've been told about 10 mpg.
