48-52 F1 projects

Here is mine. 51 Ford F1 that was owned by a relative. From what I understand he bought it new in 51. It's seen better days.

 

Here's my '48

Day 1:


Now:

 

i just started on a 50 f1. trying to run this flathead v8.. pm me if anyone has any clues to why im getting a spark at my carbeurator.. black and truck are grounded to pos on battery.. cranks and ive got spark on my wires, but have a spark on carb linkage.. still continues when i bypass ignition and run starter off battery.. cant seem to track it down

 

You're in luck! Thats a special prototype carburetor where they mixed the gas & spark before it got sucked down into the motor...okay, I lied. Sounds like your cab ground is going through your linkage. Install a 10 awg ground wire between the block & cab.
