Hey guys, im looking to keep the Ford frame under my Ford truck F2, thinking about going the direction of a dropped axle, any ideas which ones are better than others? I guess I''ll try to search the forums, thanks for the input...

Welcome to FTE ! I've got a F1, I'm not sure about the axle on the F2,
but if they are the same, I saw a drop axle in Speedway Motors catalogue for 48-52 Ford trucks, might work. Someone will be along with more knowledge than I. Good luck. We want pics. And did I say, We want pics!!

The front suspension is pretty much the same for F1-F3 trucks, except for the different bolt pattern between F1 and F2-F3. The straight axle is the same, so a dropped axle for an F1 will fit an F2-F3.
