31Doger, Thanks for the ID help. It is greatly appreciated. Jeff
Dapper Dan, the headlight was found with it but certainly could have been swapped. The car was in a pasture. Hell, I could have dropped the...
Here is the dash photo 31doger. Also included the panel between front and rear seats and headlight. [ATTACH]...
BCT, Possible, but knowing my dad a Chevrolet is more likely. I have one piece that is not pictured that appears to be the panel between front...
Correcting my earlier post to the "introduce yourself" forum. I was wandering around the property I grew up on as a little kid today. I drug home...
My apologies for the rookie user error while posting from the HAMB app. I meant to post to the "General Discussion" thread. Moderators, please...
I was wandering around the property I grew up on as a little kid today. I drug home some rusty gold that I hope you can help me identify....
Main street of course in Abedeen SD!
LMAO. Well then I will have to come to you. I prefer a lot of things about SD but not the winter so I am a "summer bird" and visit only when...
JakesRocks, It is a small world. I look forward to seeing your hotrod. Look me up if you come back this way. I always like to chat with hot...
Jakesrocks, I lived in Aberdeen and went to high school there. I now live in So Cal but get back now and again to visit the family. I will try...

I posted earlier but the post is lost in the ether... There is a 52-59 Ford Social Group here on the HAMB. There is a post right at the top that...
Otis, Did you check the HAMB 52-59 Ford Social Forum? There is a FAQ post with many parts that work well on our Fords. I don't remember if there...
I would second the suggestion to install a newer, better radiator to handle the heat of the larger engine. Jeff
Luckily Southern California is a *little* more civilized these days...but sadly not much.... Great stories, keep them going for us younger guys...
Keep your memories of your Dad alive with those cars. Time has a way of erasing memories you are not actively keeping and then they are gone. I...
Sorry for your loss. I agree, keep the truck the way it is. Plenty of other cars to cut up and improve. Dive the wheels off that truck. Jeff
Markdob, I suspect everyone chooses the Aerostar springs because of price. Jamco wants $154 plus shipping for one of their drop coil springs....
Happy to hear that your health has improved and you can take the 40 out for a family drive. Keep on enjoying those drives for years to come.
Thanks MJ40 and KPG50, Your photos have helped immensely. I now have a much better vision for what I need to do. Jeff
