I took over a F3 project from my brother a couple of months ago. Has flathead V8 and mostly original except updated 60s era rear axle, brakes and wheels. Has 4 speed original gearbox, no syncros, pretty noisy except in top gear but it shifts pretty well.
My brother did do a nice job on the cab but rest of body will need some help. Bed floor is trashed. Never done much heavy body work so I will probably use that as my learning project. Probably never will be a show truck, just for fun.
Engine needs some work also before I can get very serious about longer trips. Starts and runs fine but lots of blowby and generally low power. Today's trip was about 15 miles total along back roads to nearest gas station.
I could add a few pictures but I am new to the site and have not got around to figuring that out.
