I have a 52F1 that was a solid truck until El Reno OK 13 tornado. NO rust in floor and had a fulton visor the cab is toast so I knew where a F3 was at and grabbed it for the cab.
I live out in the country so Im thinking more of an original vibe on suspension and adding disc brakes. Adding a sbc or sbf, auto keeping either the 16" wheels or going with some 15's that accept the original hubcaps.
Who do you guys suggest for glass? and seals? I saw some not so good reviews on LMC's glass.
I want to redo original seat, paint inside, paint steelie wheels, and just leave outside alone for now.

 

Where did you read the bad reviews on LMC glass? As compared to what other carrier? I just used LMC to replace all of my glass, seals, and felts. It all worked great.

 

thats good to hear. Do I need to use a photobucket account to post pics on here?

 

Here's how to post pics......and welcome!!

 

 

it had 3 of the 4 original wheels. any of you guys need f3 parts hit me up

 

I'll take those bird nests!!!!!

Cool truck btw!

 

I saw that first picture and was like "good grief, this guy doesn't need to worry about window seals". Then I scrolled down and saw the other truck. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and ASSUME the red truck is your project, and the other one is a parts truck? Or are you planning on doing a cab swap from the F-3 to the F-1?

Edit: Okay, I went back and read the first sentence of your post again. Wheewww. That was going to require some major hammering and dollying. LOL

 

yep most of the truck is really good shape other than the cab. Take the red cab and plop it down on the f1 chassis.

 

If you have plenty of room and no need to take the damaged cab to the scrapper, hang onto it. Quite often, people get on here and need certain sections of a cab for a repair. Plus the dash pieces.

 

I plan on cutting the firewall and the floor out of it. Its a shame. no rust in the floor or cab corners for that matter. Someone stole the driver's side head off it.

 

we wasted no time stripping this one down. Still have most of the parts. Need F3 parts hit me up
