Hey everyone, I recently bought a 49 ford f-1 from my grandpa that he used as part trucks to restore his 49 f-1. I have a 3 speed transmission for it and also a 226 straight six ready to go in it.
I may upgrade the straight 6 one with a v8 but I thought it would be kind of different to try it out. Not expecting a whole lot of power but it should fun to cruise around in.
My plan is to use the origional frame, move the front axle forward 10 inches, and channel the cab around 10 inches. also i am going to do a fenderless build as well.
Im really excited to get the rod started as soon as the wisconin weather warms up a bit and I will definitely be asking alot of questons on this forum as well.
