Thanks for the info!

Its like bolting art to a barn door![/ATTACH]

This is a trivial question. What size lug nuts fit my 51 F1? I did some measuring but I'm still not 100% on this one. Im looking to replace my rusty lug nut style with chrome bullet lug nuts.

I decided to go with a dual exhaust system, so I pretty much deleted everything that was existing. My Flathead is stock to the core. I will slowly start replacing the stock equipment with things that are more shiny and powerful.

The headers for my 51 F1 showed up today. They look great! I thought I would post a pic. We all love pics right?

Thanks again for all the advice! It just snowed here in North Dakota:( Looks like it may be awhile before trying out all the new shifting tricks.

Thanks for the pointers! I guess I'm going to have to put some windshield time in, but not until I get my new Reds Headers bolted on. Maybe the extra sound will help me downshift.:)

Ok I finally got the 51 out for a drive. It is a four speed on the floor and now I remember why I thought it was a three speed. The first gear is so low I don't use it. No matter what I do it will not go into gear when I try to downshift it. It shifts up flawlessly if I double clutch it...

Thanks for the advice I will give it a try when I get it out of storage.

I don't know if its just me but I can shift up just fine with this gearbox, but downshifting is impossible for me.

It is a floor shifter.

Hello everyone I'm new to this site. I have a 51 F1 with the nasty un-synchromeshed 3 speed tranny behind a flathead v8. To make the truck a little more enjoyable to drive, is there any other transmission that bolts up to the flathead that is synchromeshes? Thanks in advance for any info on...
