OK, I said I was keepin my truck a secret but here it is. 1947 Ford Panel, 460 big block, Pacer front end, 9in rear, notched rear frame, shaved handles and suicide doors, c6 auto, custom front grille, vintage air, power windows and much much more. I do have to add I DID NOT do all of the work BUT IT will BE DONE IN spring!

Do you have any pics of it. Or can you make a gallery up. Sounds like a good prject to look at.

Dave, this may make me look real bad, but what is a IIRC and a COE? I have a 46 chassis with a camero clip that I may be selling. I don't think I am going to build on it.

Tom,
I think I'm going to use the frame that's under it now. Thanks, though. If I was doing a resto, I'd definitely be interested. At this point, I don't even thing measurements are important, as I'm going to be modifying a lot of stuff to make everything work the way I want.

I'm starting a big project. I have a 46 <st1:city w:st="on"><st1>Superior</st1></st1:city>20 pass School Bus. My plans are to use possibly a 428 or 460 with an auto tranny. Replace the running gear with modern dually front and rear. Air bag suspension, dual exhaust and upgrade the interior. My mind is full of ideas. I am working on a plan of attack. The start can be seen on my gallery. More to come.

 

hey 1945 ford firetruck. Departments first truck was in auburn cord for 20 some years
now getting restored. just started looking for a complete engine rebuild kit. not having
much luck.

 

I have a 1946 Ford 1/2 ton pickup that my dad drove for 25 to 30 years in the 60s, 70s & 80s until he parked it in the field at my brother's place out in the country where it continued to rust in the tall grass. We had always talked about rebuilding it but never got serious about it until he died in 2004. Within 2 weeks my 3 sons brought it down to my place on a flatbed wrecker & proceeded to tear it down with little rhyme or reason. Once it was down to the frame I could see we had a big job ahead. I suspended the frame between 2 engine stands so I could access all the rust holes & proceeded to cut out the rust & weld in patches. After I got done I sand blasted the whole frame & then boxed it from front to rear. I'm using the front suspension from a Mustang II with a cross member kit from J.W. Rod Garage & a T-bird manual rack. The engine is a 351W, trans is a T5, ear end is 9" from a 1980 Bronco, front disc brakes, bucket seats are from a Mazda RX7, sliding rear window from Bob Drake, 20 gal fuel cell from Summit Racing, suicide doors, tilt front end & most of the other parts I had to make because I either didn't have the money to buy them or they weren't available. I have posted some pics in a thread "1946 Ford tilt front end" in case anyone is interested. If anyone is interested in more info just email me & if I know thew answer I will email you back.
Thanks

1947 1-ton, looking to restore to driveable condition.

 

Un restored driver, continued tinkering.

 

I dont have any big plans for my pickup when it arrives I'll replace the lever shocks, put on some Smithys glass packs, make sure its running well. Its cool as it is and since it will be going on a consessional license I cant modify it too much <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" oreferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><vath o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></vath><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape style="WIDTH: 11.25pt; HEIGHT: 11.25pt; VISIBILITY: visible; mso-wrap-style: square" id=Picture_x0020_1 type="#_x0000_t75" alt="0" o:spid="_x0000_i1025"><v:imagedata o:title="0" src="file:///C:\Users\ROBERT~1.C\AppData\Local\Temp\4\msohtmlcl ip1\01\clip_image001.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape>...

Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - Talkwrench's Album: 35 truck - Picture

 

Talkwrench that is a beautiful truck. Tell us more about it. Don't just leave us hanging? Did ya buy it like that? Did ya build it? Is it stock? What year? What mods if any? Do ya drive it much?

 

OK,
I bought the 35 from Chris at "Romance with rust" in Old Town Orange Cali. His business is bodywork and hotrod mods.
Im sure he told me he found the truck in Nevada, Its quite a soild truck! anyway He had it as a shop truck and his daily driver for a short time . Basically he put 40 juice brakes on, 40 wheels [big 'n' littles] lowered it, 40 steering box, 39 motor re-built by Chuck Price [stock] 12volt conversion, new starter, reds headers, the gearbox is a 39 I believe. He said it would have not done anymore than 2000 miles with all this done.

Its waaay kool!

 

I did forget to add that I am from Australia, and currently the truck is sitting waiting to come to Western Australia. Should be on its way soon.
Now I have to modify my house to get it in..

 

Man put sliding doors in your outside wall in your bedroom. That's where I would park her when I got it home.

What a damn Nice truck. I am sooo jealous.
