Hey all, just found this forum and thought it would be a great place to gain some knowlege as to the restoration project my buddy and I started.

We found a 48 F1 that needs quite a bit of TLC but we are looking forward to the day we can take it for a cruise!

I read some of the threads and this place looks like a great place to learn from your projects.

 

Welcome to FTE. This is a great site. There are lots of folk here who really know their stuff.
We love pictures, hint hint....

There are lots of good articles on this site. John Niolon has some great ones.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A CLASSIC FORD TRUCK

Be sure to get yourself a shop manual and I always recommend this manual.

The thread at the top of this forum: Read First 48/60 Forum Tips, Tricks, How To's! has a lot of good info.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. The search feature is your friend, but I think you have to have 25 posts to use it....can't remember for sure.

 

Welcome! You've come to the right place. A great group here. Let me be the first to ask for pics of your project. Where are you from?

Welcome to the forum. If you can't find the information you need already here, ask. If nobody can answer, then its a mystery of the universe. The folks here know pretty much everything there is to know about these trucks and are more than happy to help.

I probably shouldn't tell you this but here goes, RUN, I say RUN for your life before you are trapped in the Ford Truck Circle of info, Onced your in you can't get out. You will find yourself spending lots more time on here than you ever thought you wood cause you just can't help yourself and you really can learn alot of stuff. There are alot of great guys with a wealth of information that they are willing to share so ask any question and you will get an answer. WELCOME

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Thanks for the Welcome...I can see that I could spend way too much time here, but I'm willing to take the chance.

I'm the second owner of "Piglet" (My wife ("The War Dept.) named it.) and have registration certificates going back into the 60's. An obvious farm truck, and I'd be surprised if she'd do 60 MPH full out. I'm going to stick with the original 226H flathead 6. As a matter of fact the engine is in the machine shop now. I think it's a good thing I'm not in a hurry, because the machinist appears to not be hurry either. While I wait, I'm restoring the starter, the generator, and rebuilding the carb (today's project).
