spoke to the plumber with the oldie i spied in willowbrook yesterday. its a 51 m100 all original with the exception of 1 patch, 12v power, and tires. he's owned it for 16 years and plans to keep owning it for quite a while yet!! too bad, but he plates it in the summer so its not going to waste. sorry boys, i did what i could.

 

Well you didnt borrow my trailer and then steal it!!

Too bad sounds like a neat truck.

 

its a real nice gem, hopefully he restores it or something. i know he hasn't much coin to throw around, but it'd be good to get it perky now while its still in good shape!!!

 

Thanks, it`s great that you checked into it for us but what year is it?
If it`s a 51 it will be an F1, the F100`s didn`t start till 53, which I think you mentioned before.
Sounds like it has a fairly good home, it`s real good that he doesn`t drive it in the winter.

 

its a 51 merc, so M1 i guess. like i said, all original 'cept for the 12v power and tires

 

A '51 M1 would be sweet. I really like the look of those trucks.

 

I like em too. They are classy looking.

 

I would love to have one of those myself.

 

i love it too. guess a certain amount of cash might have swayed him, but he was pretty dead set and i thought i made a decent offer...

 

I was watching Holmes on Holmes recently and one of his eavetrough contractors was driving what looked like a flat black early 50 F100. Mike was commenting on how neat his truck was for work.

 

Sounds like a neat ol truck you found

 

that would be a sweet summer work truck. a framer here has an early 70's international truck with a flatdeck that he uses...looks pretty sharp if i must say...

 

Uhoh another one coming to the other dark sides, no cookies here though, unless you bring em.

 

lol...sorry man, not crossing to the dark side. just voicing that it looked pretty nice. pretty sure i'd never have one...

sort of like that good looking cousin... easy to admit she's good looking, but you'd never marry her.............right??

 

Good point Sherm, works for me!
