So here's my '49 F1 about as bare naked as I can make it. It's all leveled up lengthwise and sidewise to install a Jag IFS this weekend. Hopefully over Thanksgiving I can install the Explorer rear end with Dakota springs/hangers and I'll have a roller!

Looking good over there Doug! Good luck on the IFS install!
It goes better if you drink the beer at the end - just saying...

Sorry for the late answere:

here you have links to both coats with datasheet

DinnerHill SpeedShop: Picking up the frame from media blast and paint

at the moment I am waiting for parts from electro zinc plating, nuts, bolts, small parts etc.

then the assembly begins, aiming for a rolling chassie in a couple of months....

Hello Daggen

I have seen those pictures before????.......on facebook???

nice truck, love the 312 with ramhorns, are they mummerts?

What are the spec for the 312

I have made a facebook group for all scandinavian F1/F100 between 48-66. So far we are 17 trucks.

Are you one of them? I cant remember adding you.

You are more than welcome if you want to....

May be so... Really don't know where you could have seen it. Facebook, Garaget.org, Wheels n Wings

Well, not much specs but it's newly build, bore 030, pistons, cam, whole package, edelbrock 94 carb (clone of original), ramhorns from Speedway and so on and on....

Happy days! I fired up the flathead after 2 ½ years today. Red's headers, Holley 390 and Offy intake really make a great combination.
