Hello folks, looks like a great site you have here to learn from. I am new to the resto side of things but learning as I go helping out with a 1946 Ford 1/2 ton. V8 Flathead. We are still searching for more parts than I would like to admit, keeping it close to original as we can.
coool.. hey brow i got the same truck..... im trying to do aswell.. i was thinking about chassis swap.... but my knowledge on this stuff is limited.. yet.. i got the flat head running.. my heart almost exploded when i got it running..... on its own.... wicked feeling...
We have found front clip and clean set of jail bar grills to go along with it! Also fro same guy we scored front inner wheel wells, gas tank and much better steering wheel too. Our reconstruction of side panels for bed are coming along. The flathead (not original) does turn but we are still a ways away from firing it up. Biggest part we are still searching for are probably a tailgate and radiator (we have both of the originals, but need a lot of work, radiator will be brought somewhere and tested/priced for repair when we get closer to needing it.
i found a site that has all the pics you need.. of how things come apart for the flat head.. it was awesome...ill try to find the site again...
