1948 Ford F1 And Case Tractor Modified Into A Rat Rod

This is what happens when you try to modify a 1949 Case tractor into a rat rod. This pickup truck/tractor hybrid is impressive and certainly a showstopper. So what’s going on here? Well, essentially one old truck was used to complete the front end section of the tractor itself. It might look like two, but only one old 1948 F1 pickup truck was used. It also might appear difficult, but this is actually a rather easy modification to do. The cab of the truck is simply slipped over the operator section of the tractor. Of course, some metal-working and tweaking certainly come into play, but you already have the fender whole cut for the rear tire, you just need to make it larger. The hood section and front grill portion of the truck are outfitted and fabricated to complete the front of the tractor. One solid coat of orange paint brings it all together, and two tractor lights pop on the side to give you a four eyed, rat rod, freewheeling beast. Not bad if we do say so ourselves.

This is my boss’s motorcycle. I jokingly asked him if he stole it off Batman.

1967 Ford Mercury M-250 4x4 With 352 V8

I fell in love with 4 wheel drive when I was a teenager. Our neighbour used to take me coyote hunting in the farming areas of northern Alberta .His name was Jim Platz and he had a 1961 Dodge Power Wagon civilian truck type. That truck could go anywhere in the snow covered fields, through the ditches and bush to me as a young kid it was the ultimate toy. A 4x4. was what I wanted! In those days good used 4x4's were non-existent so finally I saved up enough money for a down payment in 1967. You had to factory order them as no dealer kept them in stock.

The Green and White 1967 3/4 ton arrived on my birthday in May. When I went to University I could not keep up the payments $107 per month, so I took it out to the farm where they used it up to 1980 ,and then parked it out by the shop where it sat for the next 32 years, in 2012 we had it restored to original,and that's what you see today with the original warranty book and service card in my name.

The 1967 M-250 runs 352 V-8 engine Dana Spicer front and rear ends NP 435 4 speed transmissions Spicer front hubs and Dana model 24 transfercase.

Ford built the 1967 for 6 years until 1972. These trucks are extermely rare as Mercury Trucks were only sold in Canada up to the spring of 1968 all dealers sold Ford trucks after that, and trucks with 4 wheel drive was only about 1% of total Ford truck production in those years which makes these trucks approximately 1 of 100.

The first photo is original taken in 1967, I found them in an old photo album just recently.
