A few months ago I finished my 5-year project: My grandfather's 1951 F7 fire truck. Here is the link to it: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post10175791

Its rather lengthy but interesting. I even wrote a book based on my thread.

Thanks Keith

 

That is one cool truck!

 

Thanks Ted! Would you believe the custom body is made from oak wood?

 

That is drop dead gorgeous!! Very nice work.

Yes, I would. I have helped restore several vintage cars with a lot of wood in them. Wood was used a lot in some older cars and trucks.

 

I'm glad I didn't have to restore it. I'm not very good at wood work.

You did a great job restoring it.

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks!! It was a lot of work!!
