    Just bought this 54 f100 223 inline and the 3 speed supposedly stock besides a hacked in mustang dash and a pair of chrome reverse wheels that were on the truck. My question is idk if its just me or the tires that are on it but it kinda looks low in the front to be stock. I dont think its spring sag but who knows lol? Let me know what you guys think.

    It's hard to tell from your picture and the tires that are on it, but it looks slightly lower than stock.

    The tires look way to small. The center of the axels look just about right in the fenders.

    What size rims and tires? Your picture is too small to get a real good look. It appears lower than stock.

    Smaller then stock tires and over 50 years of wear on the springs.

    That looks like a clean truck. Im a fan of all the F series trucks.
     
  10. All stock and complete (Aussie delivered F-trucks still had Flathead in '54) I want to use the Flathead and 4-speed for another project and put a Y block in (still kinda original).

    Stance on yours is great, I'd get mechanical side in shape and drive it with body as it is for a while.
