52 Ford f1

Hello, I'm thinking to 4x4 my truck, anyone done this? what frame would be best and easy? The previous owner butchered the stock frame so it's got to come out, just looking for some suggestions.

Thanks,
Frank

I've seen Ford rangers under the F1's 48-52 before, and the fit is pretty close. Not as beefy as a full size 4x4 though. And welcome to FTE!

Thanks for the welcome, finally decided to do something with this truck. Also heard about the s10 frame, any info on that swap.

Welcome to the board.

This is the post you have to read:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...d-f-1-4x4.html

Hopefully John,jpb222, will drop in and offer his incite. Check out John's other posts for more on his truck.

One thing, please post your location in the upper right corner of the box. You can do it in one of the links in your control panel. It's nice to know where someone is located. It helps if you're asking for help or parts, if we know where you are there may be someone close by who can help. Also, if you're looking for a part and someone has it, most likely they'd more willing to offer it if they know it won't cost an arm and leg to send it if you're close by.

HI Welcome to FTE.

There's a few guys who have done this and lots of info stored here.

One of the nice things about the site is all the posts get stored like a library so you can go back and look up everything.

To do that, you look in the upper right hand corner and you will see "Search This Forum" just type in 4x4 and all the related threads will come up!

Have fun

Julie, I think at this point he has too few post to access the search feature, I think you need a minimum of 25.

Frame question

Found a 51 3/4 ton frame, is it the same as the 52 f1?
