I am
the proud owner of a 52 F1 and a 51 parts truck. Just got them tonight also got a 302 and tranny thrown in with the deal. The truck is in good shape with minimal rust, but the motor is toast. It has a three on the tree and the seat is in not bad shape either.

Looks like a very nice barn find Colin, you done did very well with getting these two!
Thought the Flattie in my 53 M350 seems to run ok so far it`s very cranky when it comes to starting. I`m so very tempted to swap in my spare 302....if I can ever get that far. It`s far down the list of things to do right now.

That is a sweet looking truck there. If I were you Id keep pestering Fomoko to sell you his flathead, it is a good running motor very smooth.

Yep those are the ones. I don't think he realized what he had, he said when he was showing me the trucks that he was surprised at the response he got. I must have been lucky and been the first one to respond to the add and he was a stand up guy and held it for me till I looked at it because it sure sounded like he had a few other people standing in line. He also had a 50 Merc M3 that he used for a water truck, 2 McCormick Deering tractors, Massey 44 and a John Deere A and some old chev trucks from the 20's.

I plan on keeping the flattie, that is part of the attraction. As for the trucks they are both solid, not a hole anywhere in either cabs and only a couple of fenders have some rust. The wood in the box isn't even rotten.

Usually the story on moderatly priced trucks is... The seller found it a auction, paid VERY minimal money then tries to double his money. Which is a easy way to make money plus everybody happy.
