Am wondering if anyone has a picture of the pick-up truck used on the TV show Sandford and Son? I have a 1948 3/4 ton Ford truck and would like to paint it like Fred's truck. Any suggestions? John Lubinski lubinsk@tc3net.com

John, It was painted Vermillion Red and was a Deluxe cab, not 5 star. I have a '51 painted the same color. Don

In the 1949 1950 1951 when did FORD go to the big back window,I had a 51 with a 59 390 CADDY engine,in mine and I thought had the small rear window but maybe I had the big window also,was there a deluxe cab and standard cab,? and the windows different sizes,? my 51 was painted the same color as FRED'S,except I had 2 dump tubes coming out in front of the rear wheels, and the red paint was faded,just like his, this was in 1966 thanks 37RAGTOPMAN

To my knowledge the bigger back window came out in 1951.

Here is a link to the museum that has the truck used in the TV series. http://www.historicautoattractions.com/Pages/home.html Click on 96 in the TV Land Customs for a picture of the truck.

Fifty-one was the year of the "big" styling change for the '48-'52 trucks. The front end was redesigned with a new grille, hood, bright trim, bumpers and other changes. The back window was enlarged for 1951. Also a second windshield wiper was added and the instrument cluster and radio placement were changed. Bright metal trim was added to the dashboard. The bed and rear fenders on the F-1 were changed during the 1950 model year. For '51-'52, the Five Star Extra (deluxe) cab option added upholstered doors with arm rests, two tone seat upholstery (red with white trim) perforated head liner (gray), a second sun visor and additional trim on the side of the hood. I believe that the early '51 trucks had body color grilles on the Five Star cabs and Argent grilles on the Five Star Extra cabs. The grilles were all changed to an ivory color during the '51 model year, and the bright finish on the headlight doors, the V-8 emblem and the hood nose molding was discontinued, and these parts were painted argent. This was because of the restriction on using chrome during to the Korean conflict. Richard

Richard, I think the dome light was also part of the 5 star package.

It also included courtesy light switches on both doors plus dispatcher door lock and outside door locks on both doors. All a big step up. Don
