Just sayin hi. I hav e been into old trucks all my life. I guess growing up on a farm in Arkansas caused it to rub off on me. I recently saved a 52 f-3 from the crusher. Its a v-8,4-speed non synchro,shows 73000, complete down to a battery and was driven to where it sat for 20 years. I had a 52 f-1 years ago,but never got the project off the ground. I have built several chevys,including the 64-c10 i have had for 27 years.my plans are to (first sell my 48 dodge,anybody interested) get it running, driveable,12-volt,disc brakes maybe,paint,then,actually USE the truck. Nothing severe, hauling lumber,pulling trailers/car dollys,then handing it down to my 10-year old son,someday. Lots of info here,already learned a lot.

Welcome to FTE! Good to hear from another F3 owner. I have a 48. This is a good group and you've come to the right spot for knowledge, info and motivation. What part of the country are you from?

welcome I was looking on ebay and saw something for your 52 f-3. 5 star hood side trim. I know you said it was going to be a work truck but it would look good with some BING.
