Neat project, is it an F7 or 8 and what engine is it running? It looks like you have a really solid truck to work with. I’m really looking forward to watching this build come together.
I did an F6 20 years ago (pretty much everything stock except a 402 Big block Chevy with an Offy belllhousing to the original transmission. It was a ball to drive around.
I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Mike, nice looking F6! Mine is a 1952 F7, with the factory Lincoln 279 Y block. Underpowered to say the least. First year for the OHV engine. That BBC sounds fun to drive, how bad was the gas mileage? I'm going to see how this engine does with only turning one rear, if it still seems too underpowered it will likely get a diesel transplant.
