Hi. Just making sure I'm able to post. I've been following along for a few months and have acquired a 1951 F2 long box pickup that I am excited about. Pretty sure I have some questions coming soon.

Welcome to the forum! Your truck is similar to mine. In design anyway, I don't know the condition.

Post up some pics and ask all the questions you want. Don't forget the search function is there also.

Welcome to the forum. We have some great advise and guidance on this site. You should find plenty of F2 builders here. If there is advice i can give you is thousands of pics. Take them before tear down of every part of the truck. Post them here but keep them for the rebuild and for fitment later when your memory is cloudy. Good luck.

Welcome to the site!

Take lots of pictures and keep lots of notes as you go.

This site will be invaluable to you as most users have encountered just about every pitfall there is from restoration to modification.

Good luck with your project !

Tom

Welcome to FTE. It looks like you already have your location which helps with future questions that you might have. Suggest that you add your Year, Model, engine, trans, etc. into your signature block found through the UserCP link at the top left corner. And as others have already noted attach lots of pictures. It will help us help you and will help with reassembly of your truck.

Welcome, glad to see someone saving another F2.
