Very nice looking F4! I live in north central Arkansas, and my F4 came from Kansas also. I'm building mine as a driver/work truck as well. Keep us updated.

I guess that was the thing to have in Kansas back then!

 

I totally approve! .....congrats on your f-4

 

Just purchased a '48 F4 and based on what I've read on FTE, already looking for wheels to replace the WIDOW MAKERS....Can I get some help with this???

Hi CS, welcome to FTE the best Ford truck Forum on the world wide web!

It's good to know that you know you got Widow Makers. To get your question answered quicker you should start your own thread. At the top of the page you'll see a button that says "New Thread." Give it an informative title and you'll get answers.

Also show us pictures of your truck including closeups of your wheels and repaet that you are in AR.

 

Saw this post and my old picture....just wanted to show you my end result ........all stock with the 19.5 wheels.....I live where there are a lot of back roads so for me it's fun to drive...... no texting or drinking coffee in it though...whata handful!......

 

Welcome to FTE! I have a '49 F4 and live in Yellville, Marion County Arkansas. I am using 19.5 wheels off of a mid 70s Dodge motorhome. Start a new thread and show us some photos of your F4

Was looking for simialr Spec sheet for a 1949 F5. 12' Flat bed, GVWR with payload etc is 14,000lbs per data plate on glove box.
was thinking 5500# for the empty truck... the stake bed wood is gone but all hardware and wheels are on truck.
Any body ever run an F5 12' stake bed over the county scale?
thanks...steve in Vancouver WA

 

Here it is for 1951. No different than 1949. Stu

 

Hey Steve. Welcome to FTE the best Ford truck forum on the World wide Web!

Start a new thread and introduce yourself and show us pictures of your truck. And tell us it's history.

 

Thanks for the note Mark.... 19.5 " the same 5 hole 8" diameter pattern?
need two more wheels with ring at rim.... to replace the last of the true split rims with center band.... local tire place will still work on the rim design.... or go looking for old motor homes.
