sorry ot is supposed to be or

 

The only reason I didn't choose hell yes was because there wasn't enough pictures.

 

i just about fell out of my chair when i saw that

 

I voted hell no because that's too much money to ask for a truck with only one little small picture and all those needed repairs that you list. On top of that, it's one of the big jobs which means parts are even harder to come by.

EDIT: But with all that being said, GO FOR IT!!!

 

Actually, if it's an original engine, it should be a 279 Y block. The 317 came out in 1952 and was only put in the Lincoln, the trucks got the 279, the trucks didn't get the 317 until 54.

 

You're seriously asking this group of enablers if you should buy an old truck??? And you expect an answer other than yes?? If so, you're in the wrong forum.

Everyone should have an F8 in their collection. I've got mine.

 

And you know that if it had been closer to Tennessee, it would have been mine!

 

It's not too late, Joe! LOL

 

You're offering free delivery?

 

So, if I go out and get one. Do you think this quote will save my life?
If not I'm sure you guys will help my widow take my junk off her hands.

 

BTW, according to my 52 F-series salesman's manual, the 317 was available new for 52 in the F8.

 

If you want to tell her 'Wayne said', that's fine with me. I'll back you up. I've got big shoulders.

 

I expected hell yes

 

The motor with the low friction option I'd say give'r
