my progress
Here is my 1950 ford f-1. All original, numbers matching frame, engine, and body. Trans does not have matching numbers but is original. I dont post much but I figured I would share my progress and see if anyone had any good things or bad things to say about it so far. Pics are in my gallery. I will post them here as soon as I figure it out!

Wow, I didn't even think it was the same truck! Nice job.
I maybe wrong on this but for some reason I thought on these old Fords the drivetrain didn't match numbers with everything else...
Great work, love the stance... looks great in dark green!

I'm not 100 percent sure on the numbers of the engine. When I tore the engine down, it was all standard size parts with the exception of the rod bearings which were .002 larger. From what I understand the 2 thou oversize bearings were a common replacment for an engine that had worn rod bearings. I guess that's what they did without having to overhaul the engine completely.
Also when the bearings were replaced,(who knows when) I saw a neat idea that the mechanic did to reinstall the oil pan. He had tied the oil pan gasket on in a few places with thin string though a few of the oil pan bolt holes so it wouldn't fall off during instalation. I though that was interesting.
