Hello everyone! Just purchased a 1950 F1. I am sure that I will be needing tons of help, so thanks in advance.

Welcome to FTE. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your truck.
Since you have another member in the same time, you need to get your trucks together for a meet and greet.

I have to admit, this site is part of the reason I decided to get it. I had already looked through for ideas, and saw how much support there was, so I pulled the trigger and got the truck

Time to meet up at next month's Po Boys car show at Riverstone. I saw a couple of old F1's there last Saturday. Were either one of them yours or Philthy's?
