Thanks so much for the honor.

Here's a little of the bits and bits on the truck:

This is our 1941 1/2 Ton. I built this for my wife who is currently battling her SECOND Cancer.

The Chassis:
Stock Chassis, 4" Drop front axle, Posie Parrallel leaf springs bouncing a '79 Granada 8" rear end. ECI Disc brakes up front on granada rotors. Pirate Jack POWER brakes with electric vacuum pump.

The Drivetrain:
Original Flathead 221, bored and built to 239. The crab distributor and timing cover replaced with a '49-'53 style cover and an MSD Electronic distributor and blaster coil, extended '49'53 commercial water pumps and crank pully.
C-4 Automatic transmission from a 68 Mustang.

The Bed:
Oak boards stained with a cherry stain, stainless steel strips and bolts.

The Electrics and Misc. :
Ron Francis Wireworks 'Express' wiring, Clean Swipe (Newport Engineering) windshield wipers, Nu'Relics power windows with Hotronics switches, power cowl vent from Watson streetworks.

Body Mods:
Patch panels and cross member in the bed box. Rear Roll pan fabricated and filled with license plate box and '39 Ford LED tail lights with 'Rapidfire' from 'Shiney Hiney'
