I got a dropped axle from www.cenpen.com for my 52 f-1. It drops the truck nice. But, there are a few mods that have to be done to intsall the drop axle

Cenpen website dosen't show the 48-52 dropped axle but if you call them they do have them. Just let you know you will have to order the extended tie rod ends. You will also have to adjust the shock tower on the passenger side so your drag link will not hit when turning.
