I bouhgt this pick-up a month ago.
its a ex army truck and was standing for 10 years on a scrapyard.
My plan is to restore te pick-up.





This is where the pick-up was standing for 10 years











Some new petrol and the pick-up was running easily after 10 years

 

Nice truck, but that roof rust looks BAD, do you plan on swapping cabs?

 

Wow you like a hard project don't you? X what Army truck, sure not the US Army, but since you are in the Netherlands you never what country or branch of the military used it.

Interesting cowl badge. Keep up posted on that drip rail repair plan, I want to see that for sure.

 

Hooey.... that's a rough puppy. Why does a tetanus shot seem like a really good idea at the moment?

The roof rail rot will be challenging. I'm glad to hear you're up for the that excursion.

Thanks for bringing the ol' girl out of the darkness and to the light. Let's see her resurrected to her full glory. If you get stuck, we'll chime in to give you a mental hand.

.... I'd love to find a bed bar.

 

HIO clean up some of your PM space.

 

I bought today a cab and bed which has less work.

 

The truck was used by the british army, it has a british title.

 

Oh ok...........that makes more sense.

 

Yessir... shall do. 'Been lazy about it lately.

 

Ok cool, I could see some limmy blokes driving it around awe struck by the fine piece of US Ford truck ness! lol

 

It's stronger than a europe truck!

 

Will use this cab and bed. it need still some work but its in better shape than the other. its a longbed but wil make it shorter

 

Looks like the donor has some roof rust as well. But it looks a heck of a lot straighter

 

They are great trucks... will still work hard when needed and get lots of compliments and positive attention. Good luck and have fun with it!
