HI All, just wanted to say Hi from Ontario, Canada. I just purchased a 1951 F1 in Pieces with a running flathead 8. Looking forward to restoring the truck but looking to add a few comforts such as disc brakes, a little better suspension etc. Any help on a disc brake set up would be mucho appreciated!! Thank you

Hi. Welcome.
Where in Ontario are you? I'm in southern Ontario with a 1949 F1 and am searching for a flathead V8 for it. We are planning to put MII IFS in and a 9" on a 4 link in the back, all on air bags.
I am around the Peterborough area. I was at the Oshawa Autofest on the weekend, there were almost 1500 vehicles and there was only 1 51 and 1 52, need to get some more on the road.
I just added a power booster in the original sptot on the frame, looks good but I haven't had it down the road yet. Just put the cab on after the inside was painted so it is looking like a truck again.
Thats cool...I have a cottage up on lower buckhorn so I am up there a lot...my buddy the mechanic(a very good knowledgeable one) and he said that set up is great but watch for brake fade as they heat up...
Hello, I am down in the Kingston area doing a rebuild of a 51 f1, fenders off as are running boards, Flathead 8 and tranny to come out next week. Great site!!
