    Hi guys I not long brought a 51 F1 out of San Antonio Texas which is now located down here in Melbourne Australia.
    I was told that the truck was once a push truck at the San Antonio drags.
    Since then it has sat in a barn for many years until the guy I got it from put it back on the road.
    I will be putting my own spin on the truck.
    If I ever work out how to up load pics I will let you guys check it out and would love your opinion.

    I have painted the chassis and the firewall and inner guards.
    Going to paint and detail the 59AB, gear box , diff and all the brakes have been blasted and painted satin black also.
    Will paint the in side of the cabin and tidy it up with fatmat.
    I have sent the I Beam away to be stretched a couple of inches and have already halved the leafs in the spring packs witch are painted an waiting for new bushes.
    I hope to put it back together and drive the wheels off it!
    Will try to keep you guys posted.
    I was told this was a push truck from San Antonio drags do any of you guys know of or how I can find out more about its history?
    She was in this barn for 40years. ImageUploadedByTJJ1364680598.949840.jpg ImageUploadedByTJJ1364680620.505855.jpg

    The door art is why I brought her so it definitely won't be removed!

    Thanks for asking Oldiron73.
    Been a little slack have fitted the cab out with Fatmat and just about ready to paint the inside of the cab.
    Need to wire her and fit a windscreen.
    And hopefully she'll be back on the road fingers crossed.
