I just purchased a 1952 F1 with the original (as far as I can tell) flathead V8 and will picking it up next week. I found this site while doing some research on the vehicle and thought I would sign up.
I only have a few picks from when my Dad, Father in Law and I were looking at the truck. I will post some more next week after I bring it home. The truck does have the Offy tri-carb set up on it now. It is in driver condition with an older restoration so I am looking forward to putting some miles on it soon.

Welcome to the crazy world of FTE. It's a great site for getting information and help. You started off right with posting pics. That's a good looking truck and with tri power carbs! Lucky guy. Have fun post more pics soon.

Welcome to FTE the best Ford Truck Forum on the world wide Web!

It looks like it is done well, inside and out! Thanks for the pics.

It looks great, what a great start to have one in such nice condition! Welcome!

Welcome! You look to have bought a solid truck. Glad to have you aboard.

Congratulations on your new F1, its beautiful , and welcome to the FTE family.

Looks great. I posted in the other thread but welcome.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I am beyond excited I have wanted one of these for years and finally had the means to do it and found one I liked. I pick it up next week (Current owner has already moved and is coming back next week to do all the paperwork) As soon as I get it and get it cleaned up I will post some more pictures.

Welcome to FTE! That's a beauty.
I can't wait for more pictures especially the engine.
Drive the heck out of it. These old trucks are a blast.

Harrier - That is the plan!!

Congrats and Welcome!

Pic of the current tri carb set up. This will be getting overhauled this winter.

I will be going with hard fuel lines when the carbs get rebuilt.

My youngest loves the running boards.

I also found out after cleaning up the engine bay (It was pretty nasty in there) that I have the 8CM Mercury head covers. We will verify if it is truly a Mercury Flathead when we do some work in the engine later this winter.

Nice ride! Very nice.

Welcome to FTE, and to the world of flathead engines. :-X22
