Welcome to FTE!

I too like the look of the stock truck. Good luck getting it home. We want to follow your progress.

Nice truck and change it to an F1 since that is what you want. Dennis Carpenter announced that they will soon have steel front fenders (both parts). Also steel hoods, grills for the 51-52, and door hinges. Good luck with it!

Does anyone know of a company that makes a hub to hub front suspension kit with disc brakes and rack and pinion for the f3. All the ones I find are for the f1 and I know the width is the same however the gauge and height of the frame rails are different and I assume won't work

A late 70's-87 XJ Jaguar sedan IFS should work. Do you have fabrication skills, since some is required?
