The Ford Barn

52FordF3 · 10-06-2015, 07:29 AM

Just got me a 1952 Ford F3 with a 239 Flathead in it. Always wanted to play with a Flathead. It is not running but can be turned over by hand. So I think there is hope. Have restored several Mustangs so have an idea what I am getting into but looking forward to all the great info on this site to help me get through it.

Welcome to the Ford Barn Jeff. You've come to the right place for flathead information and help. The folks here are both knowledgeable and friendly. Wish my F-3 looked like your avatar. I need to get started on mine.

Welcome!

52FordF3 · 10-06-2015, 08:06 AM

Thanks for the welcome.. It is in pretty good shape for its age

But it is a long bed and I can see I will have fun trying to find a few things.... Like running boards.

Welcome on the forum. I learned to drive double clutching an old 52 F3 my Pop used to have.

Welcome to the Ford Barn. Looks like you have a nice pickup. Some of the guys like the bigger truck. I have two F1 short beds.
