1952 Ford F8
Well she hasn't seen sunshine for quite a while, and although she's still not finished; she starts, runs, drives and stops all on her own!!

Re: 1952 Ford F8
I know Ford big trucks used Lincoln engines; does this one have the new OHV or still the 337? I like it a lot either way!

Re: 1952 Ford F8
The Ford 279 (similar to Lincoln 317) was introduced for big job trucks in 1952.

Nice truck, you could give hay rides with a stake bed and a ladder.

Re: 1952 Ford F8
"rotorwrench" - Are you sure? I am kinda into fire trucks and knew a guy who had a '53 with a 279. The whole thing was very confusing, because everything we could find said the 279 was built for the 1954 model year only, for trucks only. We finally came to the conclusion that with fire trucks, the year is not that important and can vary a year or two. (I once had one titled as a 1974 Seagrave that was actually a 1973 Ford F900.)
Anyhoo, I always thought that the Big trucks initially used the 317 ci version, like the cars. Maybe the O/P will check back in and clear this up. (Oooops, I guess he did while I was typing.) |

Pilot,
IMHO that red makes it. It's got depth that bright reds just don't have, good choice. Charlie ny |

Re: 1952 Ford F8
Nice; Note on wood bed boards... like house deck boards... the curve of the growth rings ends go down, so it won't cup up on the edges. My factory bed is only half right in board installation. Newc
