    Lowering Springs

    Hey guys I'm planning on installing Speedways lowering springs this spring onto my 1950 ford f1. From what I've read it is smart to install new spring shackles at the same time. Is there any other modifications that I need to be aware of before I get started or is it pretty much a bolt on thing...

    Soo Hot!

    Finally finishing up the truck, all new brakes were done so we took it around the block which totals about a mile and pulled in the driveway and you couldn't even touch the radiator.

    Extra Front Coil?

    Do all 48 f1's have a coil mounted to the top of the leaf springs for added suspension? My front end sits higher than the rear and I got looking at it and it seems that there is a coil spring rigged in a weird way under each side of the front end. I would think if it would be a ridability thing...
