I've been a Ford freak ever since I bought purchased my first Ford at 13. It was a 55 Ford Fairlane 2 door post 292 3 speed bucket seats. Almost every vehicle I've had since has been a Ford. I am currently working on two trucks. And 1950 F1 and a 1955 F100. I also have an 86 F-150 I run around in. And a 88 F350 that I use to pull my trailer with. I will get around to posting pictures when I get some good ones. I found this forum when I was investigating putting a Crown Victoria suspension in my 50. It looked good so I joined it.

Welcome to the site Richard.
I have a 51 F1 that has a Jag XJ12 front suspension. Jag IFS is easy and relatively inexpensive compared to other choices. Th CV IFS is a bit big for the F1, but doable.
Have fun with your builds and post pictures so we can follow along.
Take care
Dan

Thanks for all the welcomes. I have not been able to work on my trucks for several months due to physical conditions. But hope to be working on them soon. I recently seen a forum about putting a Crown Victoria front end on an old Ford truck and I have a mid 90s T-bird rear end I was going to adapt but I see that there's possibly a kit out there for it. I think the combination of those two would be a really nice ride. Mixerman, you make me jealous. One of my project wishes is to put a 50 COE on an older aluminum trailer and make it a motorhome. But it's just a dream at this point.

Welcome to the site. My first car was also a Ford. It was a '56 Crown Victoria with a blown 312 engine. But at 15, it was too much for me to fix so it got sold and I bought another '56 Ford. A Mainline with a worked 312. Aside from my forays into AMC, I have been a Ford guy.
As stated above, this is a great site with a lot of helpful folks.
Later!
