Pics of '48 to '52 Ford Trucks

Stick Shift: Thanks! I just took out some leafs. It still rides great. Posies is making some drop leafs as well to drop stock suspensions about 3-4 inches. I am tempted to get a couple more!!!!!

...here's my old 48, you guys up around Detroit mite see it cruizin around now.

 

Here is a shot of my 52 F1, daily driver, thinking about a mild chop but not for sure.

 

What does it take to add extra teeth? Anything drastic or do they just bolt in? I'm starting to like these trucks more and more with each I see.

 

one from england

 

I added extra teeth. All the teeth are different, there is a left, middle and right tooth. If you want to have 5 teeth just take a left and a right tooth and grind the "inner edges" until they fit. And I simply cut the bottom of the added teeth so I did not have to cut a "D" shaped hole into the sheetmetal below.

 

Heres my shop truck, a daily driver and I love it.

 

...here's a 52 I have installed a GM front clip, 10bolt posi rear and Nova column hooked up,...for sale if anyone's interested.

 

Great pics.

Still in beginning stages of my `48 F1.

Here is my 49 I got from my Uncle. He bought it in the early 50's and parked it in his garage in 73 to protect it from his ex wife who had slashed the tires on his other cars. It stayed there til he recently gave it to me.

 

Older picture of mine. It's in even smaller pieces now............

 

Here is what mine is looking like now. 4 inch section, 4 inch chop, with a narrowed and section Chevy hood and grill.

 

My old '52 in front of the old Santa Maria, Ca. Coke building.

Tony Farnetti built '52 F1, paint by Tommy Herrera (El Diablo).

 

I must say.......the F1's look best with the body left stock....................

Yeah, but there like a shoebox Ford, they were just ment to be customized, but I do think they look best with fenders! Here's a couple more.

 

Heres your pics 55 f350..........They were way to big to be uploaded.............Turn your resolution down on your camera and the wont be so big...........or you can downsize them on your veiwer on the computer...

 

Binga it is so cool to see a 51 back at home, I had never seen one until I moved over here.
