Smile loudfords' dad's truck

This is my dad's 51 F1 that he's been working on for a while. Had the paint and body finished last year, this year we're working on the final details to get it running and driving as well as it looks. Right now we're mostly fighting electrical problems, buzzing voltage regulator and getting the brake lights working, after that will come signal lights as most people today are too dumb for hand signals. Drives not too bad, had it around the block a few times and daring to venture a bit further from home each time. Also need to see why speedometer doesn't work properly (reads about 1000% high).

Stock flathead V8, 3 on the floor HD transmission, interior needs some finishing yet.

Enjoy folks, I can't stop staring at it either

Beautiful truck - wish mine was that far along .

Good luck with the wiring and speedo. I am sure you will find the problems.

Take care

Dan
