How Many Fordbarners Own An F-1?

[Marcus]

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 F-1 started life as a 1947 International KB-1. The original engine finaly gave up so I installed a 51 Merc with merco matic and the 3.30 rear. A few years later I installed a 42 Foed front suspension and a 525 steering box. I now have a 239/C4 in it, with a 280 flathead in the works. I also have an Eaton blower for the 239. Now all I need are drivers.

Here is my 52 beater, bought it just as you see it. I drive it often. restoring a 34 tudor currently then its the f1s turn.

I bought this 52 about five or six years ago. My dad and I were going to modify the 52 and race @ Bonneville. Anyway this 52 happened to be built in the same town and time period that my buddies 52 was built. He drove his over one weekend and we took some pics showing a chevy vs Ford "look see". His is somewhat lowered and has a motor and transmission. My 52 is sans driveline. Regardless since then I have "POR 15'd" the undercarrige and floorpans, added a dropped front axle and installed a 3:00 gear from a 57 PUP. I am building a 4 X 3.5" motor.

Doing a frame off restoration.

Just starting to put my f1 together.

Now the fun begins.

here's mine. bought it last fall. the 8BA was stuck. i was able to get it freed up and running but it was tired. pulled it out and had it rebuilt by Walt Dupont. went through it mechanically while the motor was out. just took it for first test drive the other day. its back on the lift for some frontend work. steering box rebuild, front spring pins and bushings, king pins. had quite a death wobble when you hit a bump and all that stuff needed attention. I'm going to get the mechanicals in good shape and run it the way it is for awhile.

Here's mine, far from Dearborn quality but I built it when I didn't have a lot of time or money. It's very reliable.

Oh well I as well go off topic. Maybe someday- will be minimum F3. My
hardened mine says; aint got air brakes- I don't want it.
got two more last summer orange F8 and the red F8
the 10 wheeler & 1 of 4 F800's are company trucks.......
all 1953 thru 1956 all are 391FT with OD
all 1949 thru 1950 are 337's with OD (they'l stay that way)

Reason for this post is them two are my boys (I'm snappin the pic)
both have no interest in chebys or no interest anything newer then 1956.
my reason to be proud of them kids instead of being hoo-da-lims
youngest is behind his F350 seems a 23 Model T is his daily driver too !
