I have a 1951 F1 and I am wondering if there is much of a difference between a '51 and a '52. I see other F1's around and when I ask the driver what year it's always a '51. Just curios.
My '51 is setting on a '77 F100 4X4 chassis which I shortened 3 inches to accommodate the shorter wheel base of the '51.
Also have '91 EFI 460, auto trans and transfer case lining up for under the hood. I changed to a '89 F150 rear end to accommodate the automatic overdrive function(hated giving up my 9 inch)

 

51 and 52 are very similar except 51 was the last year of the flathead 6. The hood trim is different, but not many other differences.

With your frame swap and drive train, about the only remaining difference between the two years would be the hood trim.

 

Thanks Joe, I didn't mention that when I bought it in 1980 or '81 the front clip a 289 and an cast iron FMX (I think) auto trans were in the bed. so it's been a project from the start!
Again thanks for the help
Lloyd

 

And I forgot my manners...

Welcome to FTE!

We'd like to see pics of your truck. Especially how you managed the frame swap.

 

I hope putting pix here is as easy as it is on F/B.
At present rate it's about 300 years from complete!
Your bad manors are forgiven

 

Could we see some pictures? Here is how.


But I got ta say becoming a supporter is the fastest and easiest way to post pics right from
your whatever pad/cell thing or home computer.
Few of us look in the users Gallery or album as you can see by your recent visitors.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
The best photos and videos | Photobucket

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html Bob's link is not working. Can someone in the know tell me why?

How to upload pictures to the FTE Forums. - YouTube. Thanks Sam Rusty_Old_F250. Best we can find is that this video was done by Gundown64



I realize this isn't a 51 but is kinda what I think of when I hear frame
swap.

Just kidding Bud.
