How Many Fordbarners Own An F-1?

[Shadetree]

That sure is a nice `49 a Fordbarner just posted. Lets see some pictures of your F-1. I have mine tore down again this winter. I am replacing a rear mount in hopes of getting rid of the clutch chatter. Too, it is a good time to clean and paint the floor board, install seat belts, etc.

Here's mine:

Nice truck Shadetree, here's mine, a '51 as well. Our next project is to install a '49 Merc transmission with Over Drive in the F-1.

Vic,
That is a great looking truck, wish mine was the color of yours instead of maROON.

Mikesfordf1, yours was what I was looking for when I found mine. Don't touch it cosmetically, enjoy it as it is.

49 F-1, 226 3 speed 6 cylinder. Restored from a rough rusty old farm truck. Owned 20 years, restoration took 7, off and on. As a kid in the 50s, like any true disciple of Henry, I hated 6s. Today I have to admit the 6s are wonderful engines.

Dick,
Like you I disliked 6 cylinders and mine had one in it that needed work so I changed it out to a V-8. I have heard great comments like yours about the six since. This was the first flathead six I have owned. The V-8 was expensive to rebuild but the swap was easy.

Bud - Shadetree - I previously sent pictures to you of the '51 F1 I bought last year - one day, I'll learn how to post them to the 'Barn!! Still a six, and I think I'll leave it that way. Like many others, I SWORE I would never have another six.........but this little truck will pull the world if you can figure out how to attach it!! Makes a great daily toy..........

By the way - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

My Dad had a 50 Ford Tudor with a flathead six, and that's just the way described it.
