New to me F350

Hi all,
I've been lurking here for a a while now, and thought I'd officially join and sign up. Here's my 1957 F350, with a custom ramp bed. It has a 272 y-block and 4 speed transmission.

Recently, i've got it running after swapping out the Holley carb for an edelbrock performer, and new points, coil, etc. The holley was just flowing too much for it. I've also found that the brakes need an overhaul big time.

At any rate, thanks for all the advice so far and I'll continue to share as things progress. After the brakes are sorted, I'll work on replacing some of the rusty spots. Would love to get it out to a few shows this summer.

Cheers,
Brian

Welcome! How about what Walston said, get another 57 and haul it to the shows. How about a front shot of that beauty. Wanting to see the bumper.
