Introduction

Hello all, I am the proud new owner of a 1950 F-1. The truck has been sitting in a field for the last 10 years. After pulling it out of the field it only took about a half hour of tinkering with the 6 cyl. motor to get it to run, and run right it did. I have a 4 speed trans to put in to replace the gaping hole in the drive train, after that I will make a new drive shaft and replace the master cylinder.

Anyways, hello all.
