I got a 1952 F-1 a few months ago, and I'm finally getting around to working on it. I honestly don't know much about it except it originally came with a flat head v8. I got it with no engine or transmission, but it's pretty solid, has lots of surface rust though.
I have a Ford 9" rear, and I'm trying to get a 351 Cleveland, and c6 for it.

Will post pics tomorrow.

 

Looking forward to the photos. Include some pics from interior.

 

Sounds like how most of us start out. Welcome and cant wait to see some pictures.

 

Wow, the rust looks worse in pictures, but it's really not that bad. And all the wood in the back it came with, because the guy I got it from was gonna put a wood bed in it, which I'll probably do much later.

 

Looks like a good start - most if not all parts look to be there. Keep us posted.

 

where do you live? maybe i could help you

 

Welcome!.....nice score on your 52, looks to be pretty solid....good luck with your build and pls. post your progress w/pics! this site has a wealth of info available, as well!

 

Welcome . Thats a nice looking piece to start with .

 

I made this thread, and then disappeared so I just wanna make a quick update.
I am having trouble with the title, but it should be cleared up by June, but because of that I haven't started working on it yet.
Also I had issues with the shop I was keeping it at so my plan is to buy one of those carport garage things, and set that up and use it for the F-1. I found a website that allows you to customize it to your personal specifications. but it'll cost $7,000 not including getting cement laid. And I have to get it zoned and all.
It'll be totally worth it, but money is coming slow right now.

This thing is gonna be 20' wide, 30' long, and 12' high
10x10 garage door, 2 windows on one side, a window in the back, and 1 window and a walk in door on the other side.
It'll be perfect for an f-1 workshop.

 

Ryan, I'm drooling at the condition of that front bumper. You have a very nice truck there and well worth going through the hassle of a title and putting a roof over it's head.
Keep us posted again.
Tom

 

I'm glad you updated your post, because I missed it the first time. Like everyone else has already stated, you have a nice truck, good luck with the title, and welcome to the site.
