The Ford Barn

Hi folks

I am always seeking restoration and repair advise. Which, I am forever thankful for everyone's assistance/advise.

Today, I'm seeking different insights. BTW - I searched Google and it didn't provide the details.

I have a 52 F1, with a 3 speed on floor. I understand that was option back in the day. I am also told my truck has a beefier rear spring than a normal F1. The truck also has electric wipers.

So here's my questions:

What were all the options available in 52?
How many or how rare is a 3 speed on floor?
Were electric wipers an option back then or installed later?
