I had a '59 Ford F100 V8 OD, PS, big window, custom cab 6' fleet side, for many tears. One day a man offered me a lot of money for the truck, much to my regret, I sold it.
Ive never heard or seen any material in the data books showing an F1 in 52 that was able to be purchased with an overdrive? Have you ever found any thing that says that? Just curious as how you know that the truck came with that option originally? Thanks for any info or clarification on this. -john
