Bought another truck (1951 F1)

I bought another truck yesterday. The nice thing is its already all apart. There are a lot of good parts. Cab is fairly nice, F1 frame rolling..............Its starting to look like a 1950's ford truck junk yard around here! 4Speed is buying another 57 bigwindow next Saturday so theres another one comming to my place!..............I cant wait to show the pictures of the 1955 panel I bought last month, it will make grown men CRY!...............Pictures coming soon

I can see why the rest of of us guys cann't find trucks you guys up in Ohio have got a niche for finding them first. You guys are going to have to teach the rest of us the secret of the hunt.
Great find you'll have to show some pictures.

The 51 I bought for the 4 original rims and rear end, and it was close by. I havent crossed the line into the bonus built trucks yet as this is just a parts truck, not a builder, at least not a builder for me.

The Panel WAS a builder untill i got an email about selling tthe quarter panels off of it, away they went so its just a parts truck now. Had some goods on it I needed anyhow.
