My New Daily Driver 1952 F-1. It has a 302, auto trans, 9" rear end. Runs Great. I plan on driving it the way it is throughout the Summer and Fall. Then hopefully over winter fix the body, paint it. And add Power steering and brakes.

good Lord thats beautiful. And this is prior to you really working to "clean her up?" Damn... hope to see this thing around - hard to hate clean ass classics
 
Wow that this is sweet! I've been keeping my eye out for a 50's ford truck, not that I really have the money, but I have always loved these things! If you don't mind I'd be curious as hell to know what she cost ya. In pm form of course.
 
that thing is sweet, but you need to lose the truck box, it takes away from the vintage. and paint those wheels entirely red or black
 
very nice but your going to daily drive that thing with no power steering or brakes? yikes, too many wackos on the road to trust that.

Well I'm not going to drive it everywhere I go. But I'm driving it as much as possible. I have put over 300 miles on it in the 10 days I have had it. I try not to drive it when I know traffic is going to be real heavy and congested. My work is only 6 miles from my house. It's a straight shot down Metro parkway so its not that bad. I have had a few of Cars and Trucks that sat in the garage way more then I drove them. That's not going to happen with this one. Not having power steering is not that big of an issue. But I will be adding power brakes probably next month. Braking is not as bad as I thought it would be, but I know I would feel safer with power brakes if I had to panic stop.
 
yeah i drive 50 miles a day to and from work in all different types of roads so for me it would be much tougher.
