Just joined the site and wanted to give a big thanks to everyone for their advice. I bought a 1949 F3 this past summer and I have been trying to learn as much as I can about these old trucks. It would have been difficult without this site. I was going to need new tires at some point and learned about the world of widomakers. Went out and found a set of 19.5"s, not easy but necessary. Thanks Stu. I have learned to double clutch after reading a thread here about it. Thanks kcb37, 51 dueller, Bobj49f2 and others. I got hooked real bad and have since bought a 1950 F2 and a 1948 F1. These will keep me busy for a while. Looking forward to learning more. I will attempt to post a picture ASAP.

 

Welcome to the forum! You're in deep, brother! Pics?

It helps us to know where you are, so if you can put your location in your Profile in the User CP it is appreciated.

 

Welcome to the group. Glad to have you hanging around. Sounds like you've done your homework and have a great start. And you've already found a set of the super rare SRW 19.5s (should be Budd #71410). There's no better fix for the stock widowmaker problems. Posting pictures is easy if you set up a Photobucket or other photo sharing account. Stu

 

Welcome to FTE and good luck with your F-3...

 

You've got THREE trucks! I can't imagine. (look at my signature)

But seriously, we need pics! Or it didn't happen. Welcome!

 

Welcome from another in-too-deep addict!

 

Welcome opkomdalen!

As you pause in your truck buying frenzy - not that there's anything wrong with that - check the Tips link at the top of the topic roster to help with the pic loading.

Happy Motoring!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Trying to work on photos.

Thanks for the help. I think I may have it now. These are my other two. The black 1949 F-3 runs and drives good. The 1950 F-2 (the pumpkin) engine runs but brakes need to be checked out.

 

Where have you got the pictures stashed? I can't find either a Gallery or a Garage under your name.

 

Might need more posts to get images to appear? Otherwise, links to photobucket or something might work.

 

No, I posted pics on my first visit, so it's not that.
