New Guy Intro



I probably should have done this years ago, but finally joined this forum. I have a 1952 F-1 that I've owned since the early 80s when I was a high school kid. Grandpa bought it for the farm brand new and always in the family. I've owned it the longest though!

Welcome!

Obviously you know how much we like pictures.

Nice truck! And a nice history to go with it.

Good to see another truck with family connections--and a 52 too! Does your truck have the original I6 engine? We always enjoy pictures, and you have demonstrated that you can post them. Welcome to the FTE forum. You have come to the right place for help and support for your project.

Yep, it has the 215 OHV straight six and 4 spd manual with no synchos. I love double clutching!

It's really all about the sound for me. Nothing quite sounds like winding out the gears in an old crash box transmission. It's a sound from another time and place. I learned to drive on my truck, and driving it again is always something special.
