hello from s.e. kansas

hello all
i live in the s.e. corner of kansas. i acquired my 49 f1 about 11 mos. ago, and am just getting around to starting on it.
i've already found this site very helpful, but am going to need lots more help.
for now, am planning on going with the flat six,(everything's there-just hasn't ran in a few years) then later upgrading suspension.
anyone know where there are parts available for this engine?(starters, generators, etc.) am keeping it all 6 volt for now.
thanks for this great site, and all your help so far-dave

Welcome to the forum, Dave! For basic mechanical parts, you'll have pretty good luck shopping at your local NAPA auto parts store. They may not have everything in stock, but typically can have it to you overnight, and the quality will be good.
