    I get a call early today telling me that a guy a friend knows is getting foreclosed on his house and needs to get rid of his stuff fast and cheap...Like the boys in Thailand... So he has this 52 F1 that has been sitting for the last 22 years and has a Merc flatty in it. I am stoaked so after work, my brother and a buddy and I hook up the trailer and head 10 minuites from my house and pick up my new project. $500 buck for the whole thing including a anus load of other parts.. Let me know what you think.

    Sweet! Some people may think they're dumb, but I actually like those bumper guards. It would be a cool salt car pusher...

    First I am going to freshin everything up and go from there. I haven't had much time yet to see what I will need but it came with an extra set of doors but no box. I think I am going to leave it pretty much stock maybe lower it a little... only time will tell. Hopefully by summer she will be on the road... There isn't a rust hole on it. even the cab corners are perfect. Not sure on what to do with the wheels. I am thinking black walls though.

    If your not going to restore it back to 100 % stock, the 1948,1949 and maybe the 1950 boxes are way cooler looking than 1951 or 1952. hang onto the stock 16" rims. They might be worth a bit more than you think. Good luck on the truck project.

    I love pushing pig shit haulers with flat tires....my brother is the greatest!!! It was a great deal and it is super solid. I asked my wife and she said not until we get more room....now she just saw the pics and said she is going to be jealous when its on the road. Jack you have the market cornered on flatty powered autos.

    I think the best plan is four cinder blocks, maybe three and a pile of wood , and a whole bunch of chickens running around in it. I bet your daughter and neighbors would like that better. Now you and Jimmy can have a smash em up derby with old ford trucks!!
