Before and after pics of my 1949 Ford F-6.

 

Congrats on getting this done. it looks GREAT! I notice on the before pic. it has an f-7 on it, so is it a f6 or f7?

 

Thanks. That is called a detective eye. It is a F-6. The F-7 emblem was placed by the previous owner.

 

Nice!You better put that ol girl to work!

 

Nice Job , a lot of hours sitting there .

 

Wow! Very nice. Shoot, the before version was awesome. The after version is super awesome.
The grill guard was cool, what did you do with that?
What is the box in the bed? Storage/Gas tank?
The front looks higher in the after. Is that just me? New shocks raised it up? ??

 

Thanks. I changed the wheels, after replacing the old ones (widowmakers) and i am not sure if this makes it taller. i took off the grill because I replaced the bumper, and I am not sure what I did with it.

 

The box is for storage.

 

Hood hinges and door handle springs to bring them back level. Or what ever they need.
Than your closer to being done. But really they are never done. I like it.
Have ya got work for her or just a parade Queen?

 

That's one sharp looking truck!

Yes it is. Damn nice job. Did you rework the old side boards or replace with new?
Some of the best wood work I have seen or done was using old Old growth
lumber and timbers. Once sawed down and plained the timbers had the best and straightest grain of any wood today. Big Doug Fir, Spruce and
Western Red Timbers from old sheds and barns. Some very fine wood.

 

Yes, the hood springs might need some adjustment to bring the hood down, but not sure what i need to do. For the time being i am just going to cruise and worry about those springs some other day.

 

Thanks.

 

Thanks. All the wood, including the bed and box is new with tons of elbow grease followed by stain and marine grade varnish.

 

Thanks...
