I have an early '48 F-1 with a six. I think more F-1's had sixes than V-8's. It's a great running truck. When I was a kid in the 50's everyone knew that a six would beat a V-8 in a drag race. Leave it the way Henry made it!! The only change I made was to take out the horrible crash box 4 speed and replace it with a three-speed. Just like a brand new truck!
