My '52 F3 Progress Shots

It was such a gorgeous spring weekend in PA that I had to get her out of the garage. I'm about 80% done... I think!!

If you look closely you can see the turn signals on the fenders from a 1940 Pontiac.

This truck was used by the Western PA Power Company from '52 to '59 and had a different bed on it. All I could salvage were the fenders and this mini tailgate, so I did a customized bed to incorporate the tailgate.

The taillights are from a 1948 Packard, blinkers from a Harley, and the backup lights and plate holder are from an Olds Aurora. It has a huge tow ring attached to the frame in the middle.

Quite a hodge podge.

Well, I need to finish inside the cab, finish the bed, install running boards - I guess that's about it. Ok, maybe I'm closer to 90% done!!

I like your tasteful way of incorporating those Pontiac turn signals.
