The plan is to use the frame from the 52 since it is in better condition. I have a 4 speed in the F3 that i will hook up to the flathead if i can use it, if not i will keep looking for a another flathead. I'm working on cleaning up the frame removing the wires and 50yrs of dirt and grime. Paint the frame and start building from there. Also want to start breaking down the cab so i can get it inside the garage and start working on the rust. I will get the numbers of the motor and see if i can id it.
Here is a pic of he F3 springs and rear.
