Wow that's a very nice looking truck the body is very straight. I would just get it streetable, do the interior and drive it for a while.

 

Thanks Steve, Its always handy to have a good guide to translation..

Hi 51ford fan,

Thats just what I intend doing, as I am having to pay for where it is being stored, I wanted to get on with the work as soon as possible. But after taking advice I am going to get it all going first and actually use it for a while.

I am just concerned, that I will enjoy it too much and put off the work to long. .

But the weather here at the moment is fantastic, so driving it around for a while will be very cool and I can't wait.

Cheers
Lee

 

My feelings are that we better get them out there and enjoy them while we can. Because sooner or later those nuts will suceed in carrying out those threats here.

 

Lee,
Nice looking truck! What a great starting point. Glad to hear that you finally got it and have found a place to work on it.
Definatley get it running sweet and drive it for awhile while you are making up your mind on the modifications you are going to do.

Take care

Bobby
