cool truck for sure

 

That is one sharp looking truck. You need to get it Chris, it could be very useful for your business. And if you need to sell it at some time, you should be able to get out of it what you paid for it. This looks to be a win-win.

Looking at all the other pictures (Not sure how to post them.) I noticed that the flathead has the water outlets in the middle of the block instead of the front. I have seen that before. What does that tell us about the engine?

It has a beautiful interior as well.

 

It's a 59-series engine, still 239 I assume, front-mounted distributor, the different heads. Integral bellhousing, 85 HP. There are a number of inaccuracies in the ad on their website. But it sure doesn't look like widowmakers, there's a good shot of the spare and I don't see the Hump of Death.

To be honest, the engine seems to need a tune-up, judging by the video.

 

Chris, I must agree that you need that truck. I'll offer at no charge to go down and help you pick it up or if you need me to I'd drive it back for you. Just trying to help a brother out!

 

The FTE Enabler Network is out in force!

BTW I didn't see a price? Is it one of those, "if you have to ask..."??

 

Well this made me jump, I didn't scroll down and just looked at the pictures.

The home page has it listed at $18,000.
We have several people in the Springfield/Joplin area (including my parents) and I'm sure one of us would gladly offer an overnight stay and probably supply dinner as well to make your road trip easier.

They also have a 55 F100 for sale, but they are asking $24,500, although it is a nice looking truck.

 

I have called and made a offer on her boys!
They are a consignment dealer only and they are checking with the owner on my offer. They are helping me on getting a price on my mustang too. They can t take it on trade.

 

Good luck Chris! Let me know when you'll be stopping to pick me up. I'd like to visit Gas Monkey Garage when we're in Dallas.

 

Pretty sure that's just some gold or bronze paint on the outer rim. They look like my old widow makers, except mine had more of the outer rim painted a different color. And these may be 20s. But then again, I'm probably wrong.

Stu, are these widow makers in the OP?

 

You can change the title, when you open your post and press edit, if you press edit again, it will let you change the title, even after some time. I have done this before.

 

Thank you it took me right there and looked like I could change it still.

 

Hay Rob , I may need to lie low at the farm house for a week or two if this goes through

 

You got it! Give me a heads up and I'll make room for you and the truck!

 

Chris, before you do that get a picture of where he will put you up. I'm thinking the truck might get much better accommodations.
