1950 F1 tray

[GasWorksGarage]

We just got a 50 F1 in the floor board there was a tray. I barley remember years ago seeing this mounted behind the seat on one at a show. Am I mistaken?

It was mounted behind the seat above the gas tank.

Tool tray . My '52 F1 has one also .

They all had them, later ones were rounded corners, earlier were square. 1950's were square.

I believe the end shape may have been a supplier/assembly plant variation. My '49 F4 has round ends. It was assembled in KC.

I believe you have it switched, round-end ones I've seen were always on 48 - 50's.

My 50 has square ends. It was assembled in the long Beach plant. The last year they assembled pickups.

My 49 F1 Kiwi assembled (Canadian) toolbox has rounded edges.

I've parted out 6 trucks from 48-52 and all except the 52 had square ends. Most were built in the Somerville Ma. plant. I was basing it on that. It just may have been an area assembly plant supplier for the trays. But that fact is probably lost to the ages, unless there's evidence in the Ford archives.
