Way cool. Lot's more pic's please. Keep them coming.
When you run out than go around town and get more.
Did we say we love pic's of old Iron and girls, any girls.

Brian, this is the first time I saw you post so welcome to FTE. I see you are between Lewistown and Altona. I live in Lock Haven.

We got to see pics of your truck.....

Thank you, Abe. Next sunny day, I'll try to get some good pics. Thankfully, this cab and frame were a solid foundation for an extensive restoration. We are all doing what we can to preserve history!

I intercepted this one from the scrap yard, if it doesnt sell it will be parted out and meet its end

If money was no problem this would be my ultimate garage, at one time it was the largest building without any post supports, this is still being used here in Akron Ohio. It was where they used to store the goodyear blimp

Ford F 100 F100 | eBay

$2500?
No offense but it looks like a $300 to $500 truck.

No offense taken, But if I sell it in parts I will make more than that, PLUS it has a TITLE. You are correct it "LOOKS" like a $300 truck......
all the money is in the "small parts"

You must have a much better eye for junk than me, because even I only see scrap there. Good for you if you can do something with it!

They are not mine

The 42 -47 grille isnt mine that was where i bought my trucks.Ill askk if its still there. The cab was ruined on the 51 the fenders were better and grille was ok. I bought it for the other things and hoping to get measurents and cut curves from it. Someone has on here some trucks must die so others can live!

I have a farm yard full, here`s my latest 56 F100 and an F350 I swamped motors in selling to a good home. Later on I`ll try to find and post a picture of a 54 Big Job I saved from the crusher.
