Couldn't say no.....'52 F6

I couldn't let it get scrapped......plus I need a few parts off of it. So now I own a '52 F6!
Pretty clean old truck. Some rust in the cab corners, but that's all I see. It has an Olds V8 mated to the stock trans.
This thing is just parts, as it has no title.

2 days after I bought this, I also bought a '51 F4....still need to drag that one home. what was I thinking

Great looking truck, Scott. So Montana doesn't have a process to retitle a vehicle?

Sure they do, but it's a pain and I had planned to part it out anyway.

What are your plans for the F4? Does it have the 9 foot script bed on it?

Wow, a lot of east coat guys must be dying of envy right now. Your parts truck is in much better shape that a lot of restoration projects in that end of the county.

Not sure yet, a restoration was started but never finished....has some potential though. I might keep it. No script bed.....I will get pics soon!

Yeah, I know.....but selling a complete truck around here is impossible. just no demand. Parts will be available, PM me.


Here's a couple engine pics, condition unknown, but the pan is off and the water pump gone. Is this a 303? 394? Or?

I would tend to agree. No fresh paint covering up a lot of "sins." WYSIWYG.
