Monoleafs for a F-1?
Monoleafs for a F-1?
My dad has a 1951 Ford F-1 with the original flathead thats been stroked has new oiling system, edelbrock heads, 4bbl, electronic ignition, and a C4 tranny. It is a very nice truck that mainly just needs a better paint job. He wants to put power steering, power brakes, and make the ride a little nicer so he can get my mom to ride with him. He doesnt want to spend a ton of money on a mustang 2 or the work on a front clip. I told him that I know a lot of you guys use the monoleaf front springs on the 61-64 straight axle trucks. I found a place called Classic Performance Parts (CPP) that sells monoleafs for 48-52 f-1 trucks that lowers them 3" and they cost $380. Do these help the ride quality enough to buy them. He is not all that interested in lowering the truck but doesnt really mind it. I know it is never goin to ride like a lincoln but he just wants it to ride considerably better than a tank. Thanks for any feedback.
