i have ben able to add pics of my 51 f2 in the galleries. hope you can view.

 

dans 51 f2, great looking truck... are you just planning on driving and maintaining it?

 

Nice truck!

 

Moe, I plan on redoing the interior and gauges back to original. I have a set of the original wheels to put on after I buy new tires. I also have a 3.73 rear axle to put in, do the brakes and alignment and be good to go. Wife wants me to paint it, but then you have to worry about every little nick and scratch. I have been to many car shows and being a former body tech/shop manager, I notice every little flaw in most car and trucks at shows. I won't drive every day but to shows and maybe for ice cream(when it is warm in Michigan), or just for a Sunday drive.

 

That's one of the cleanest 3/4 tons I've seen. Nice truck.

 

Thanks. That's why I bought it when I saw it. I had been looking for an old Ford for years but they were either so rotted out or non original.

 

What is the piece on the left side of steering column?

 

Trunk Monkey Wrench?

That is a sweet looking Truck - Keep her as close to what you have now - You'll get a lot mo notice than a Trailer Queen

 

That sounds great... With a great buff and wax I think that paint will shine right up... The way it looks I wouldn't repaint it at this time. from what it sounds like I think it's a great plan...

 

The piece on the column is the turn signal switch, which I plan to replace with one more original. As for the paint, there is some very minor rust starting and the roof is peeling from a prior repair but I will spot in.

 

Dan I have to agree... great looking 3/4 ton truck and very solid. Alot of those trucks were beat up pretty good in their working lives. I was very happy to find a solid 48 F3... fell in love right away and quickly sold my 51 Chevy to buy it! Sounds like you've got good plans for your truck. Where are you located in case some of us want to meet you for ice cream?

Nice truck!

 

Very nice, I'd go cautiously changing anything!

But... My truck came with the exact same air cleaner. They are a POS, really restrict air flow.

 

Very nice aqesition congratulations, sounds like your returning to stock , nice if i do another one i may do a 100% stocker. I just love the way a clean flattie looks, Im happy for you.

 

That's what's on my truck as it was the only paper filter that'd fit on my holley 1904/1960.

Ross, do you know a similar type of air cleaner that would fit my 1904 neck?
