What's up, guys? Needless to say I'm the new guy. I am going to retreive my grandfather's 1948 Ford F1 from Mississippi in about 2 weeks. All original....he bought it in 1948 for the farm. The head is blown in the flat 6 motor. I am looking to "rat rod" the truck out. I am new to the truck rebuilding scene, so any and all help is very much appreciated. Haven't gotten a chance to browse around the site just yet, but with all the fires going on around me it looks like this week is the best time to check it out!!!! Pics to follow.....
