My 51 F2 project

After starting another thread about being new to the forum, I figured I'd start one more based on the truck, anyhow, here it is my mostly stock f2.









Not entirely sure what I wanna do with it long term, but at the moment the plan is to make it as street worthy as possible and decide on if I wanna do the 12v conversion, 5 lug swap, or 5.0 swap?? I don't know I just wanna have fun with it!!!

It sure is well along toward being done. The prior owner gave up too quickly. However you go about it is your decision. I don't see any reason to do a half ton 5 lug swap, but that's just me. Stu

I REALLY like your truck the way it is. But that's just me (and half the guys on FTE).

Do what you want with it, but it looks like you're really close to what I would call a finished truck.

Can you tell if the body was repaired with all steel, or is there bondo slathered on thick? I have to agree, I would be hard pressed to take it a different direction. Miles ahead of where most of us started.

From what I can tell, it was all repaired with steel, but the gentleman I bought it from, said that it was an extremely clean truck to start with, before the restoration. That's why he decided to have it restored
