'50 F2 price?
Looking at a 50 F2. Seems to me they are worth some what less than the F1? This one the guys asking $6500. Add says runs and drives good, new brakes, needs minor cosmetic restoration. See attached? Too much, just right?

Re: '50 F2 price?
If it runs well and has very little rust ,I'd say it's definitely worth it. The F2s maybe less popular but they are also less common so it's a matter of taste. If you like it I would make an offer of say $5000 and see what happens.

Re: '50 F2 price?
Is it common to remove a couple of leafs to make the ride a little softer, or is it possible to use F1 springs?

Re: '50 F2 price?
Other than the obvious ( suspension ) are they that much different than the F1's. I think they were only available with a long bed but F1 were available with the long bed. Assuming the chassis is heavier but is the cab / bed any different? Booked up a little on F1's but this came up and looked interesting. Guess I gotta go back to school?

Re: '50 F2 price?
F2s have heavier springs, bigger brakes, and a heavier rear axle among a few other differences. The F2 & F3 are both a bit harder to source the parts that are common to them only. You can haul a lot more and trailer a bigger package than the F1 for sure but they are more utilitarian and therefore less popular than the F1. We had an F3 when I was a kid and it rode like a lumber wagon but I loved the damn thing. I learned more about driving in that old truck than any other single vehicle when I was growing up. We could haul a 1500 lb bull in the bed with no problem (we custom built a stock rack to fit into the bed). We also had a big water tank for it when the windmill was on the fritz.

Re: '50 F2 price?
Probably sound like a dummy but can I put the F1 springs on the F2 to ease up the ride? Or, do I need to pull the springs apart and remove a couple of leafs. If so how many front and rear makes it a reasonable ride?

Re: '50 F2 price?
Offer him 5 grand. Leave the main and the first leaf on and every one afterwards.

Re: '50 F2 price?
Did the '50 have an open drive shaft or still have a closed torque tube?
