Cool Story:

I have owned this pickup since 1976, sat in a barn torn apart for 40

years with a 283 Chevy V8 and a 2 speed Powerglide transmission. Since

working on it I have lost 2 cylinders making it a V6 and gained 2 more

gears as it is now an overdrive transmission.

I finally got a place to work on it and installed a Mustang II front

end and 8.8 Ford rear axle. Cab went to a rod shop for a couple of

years and I have been trying to correct the work that was done to the

cab since getting it back home.

All the sheet metal is factory and it shows the signs of use and abuse

and rust from 30 years of service before I bought this pickup. Some has

been corrected or touched up, but most show that it was a farm pickup.

I plan to replace fenders and box sides in the future, for now it is as

I was hoping to do 55 years earlier, making it an old vehicle that I

could drive and enjoy.
