Hello one and all. Just picked up my pick-up Saturday. She's a butt, 1951 F-1 w/flathead V8. The truck is pretty much stock with a nice restoration. My first plan is to change out the tranny and rearend to make it a little more streetwise. So I will be asking for alot of help, so thanks in advance.

Wow, all you have to do is stick your elbow out the window and grin. Very nice truck. Looks like it has had a frame-off in the recent past. Have fun driving it.
