New From Texas

I grew up on the back of my father's '48 Ford F-6 in the hayfields in central Texas. I joined the Air Force after graduating high school in 1960. Stayed in for over 30 years. Retired in 1991 and wnet to college under the GI Bill. Returned to my hometown of Mart, Texas in 1996. I've been collecting old cars and trucks since then. I am looking at a 1950 Ford F-6 right now. It has the 254 CID Big Six. Wondering if parts are readily available for that particular engine.

Welcome ejwalker1941, great to meet you!
For info on your father's 48 Ford F-6 use the 1948 - 1960 F1, F100 And Larger F-Series Trucks forum: 1948 - 1960 F1, F100 And Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
While parts are limited these folks will let you know what maybe available.
Also visit your local Texas Chapter so see what`s up in there: Texas Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
