    I'm still in disbelief that I found this truck. Its an unmolested survivor thats in really good shape. Lived in a sea can the last 10 years of its life protected from the elements. Driven just 300 miles in those 10 years in town parades and short drives. Now she's in my garage! Its so complete and in pristine I hate to do anything to it. Those mechanical brakes are not great so maybe juice brakes might be in the future though. Then again a flathead would look good in it too.

    And yours is truly beautiful although it has a passenger grill shell and not a commercial one.:) HRP

    That's what I was thinking. It should be a once piece grill shouldn't it?

    Why a Fordor specifically? Family?

    That...and I think they are neat. And then there is the fact that I could afford a Fordor.

    Neat truck though. I'd set it up like Dennis Lacy's 32 pickup. Hyd brakes, dropped axle, Kelseys and big n littles. Perfect.

    I definitely like the truck. Drive it with the banger for a while and you will probably get to like it. If you go to hydraulic brakes contact Richard Lacy at [email protected], (626) 338-2282, he makes an adapter that lets you use the orginal pedals.
