1949 Ford F-1 Frame Restoration

This is a restoration of a stock 1949 Ford F-1 truck frame with plans to put a stock flathead engine in its original place.
This is a fairly condensed video with only a short amount of time spent on various details. Hopefully, it shows that it is possible to get an old truck frame back into a reasonable condition to get it on the road again.

I'm actually in the same process currently with my 51 frame. the brackets you mentioned i have not seen yet at swap meets or Ebay, so going to fabricate them. they are 1/8 steel that I cut yesterday. Making the radius first around a steel tube I have ( the center piece of bracket). The other sides are basically flat with a 90 in the center and then fill in the sides. That's the plan, we shall see. Thanks for sharing your process!

They are fun projects to work on. I just wish I had more time to make progress than I do.
