Looking for a truck...HELP?
I would like to buy a 1948-50 project truck. Does not need any drivetrain components (engine, motor, trans, axles, etc). Can anyone point me in a good direction or have any leads. Would like to stay in reasonable driving distance of either Eastern Iowa or Southeastern Michigan (anywhere in between the two would work also) Thanks

I recommend waiting, saving, and paying as much as you can afford, for a truck from the southwest.You will save tons of money in the long and short term,and will be driving it years sooner.Just my humble opinion.Even if you have to pay $800.00 to have it shipped,you'll save way more than that in body work and frustration.
Here's one fairly close:

Here you go. Any parts you don't want, you can drop off at my house.

My intentions for this project are a 4x4 conversion with a bit of a rat rod/ hot rod vibe. If that makes any sense. Trying to keep costs down so I'm hoping to find a truck around the $1000 range. A friend of mine just picked up a '51 L130 International for $300. I'll give the one from mankato a call and see what he's askin

Title depends on the state. Some are easy with a bill of sale as here in Kansas, and others can be tough.
Western Kansas and eastern colorado are pretty dry areas and sometimes rust free examples can be found, so you don't have to go clear to Texas or the southwest.
Follow the advice to find the best body available. It will save lots of work and headaches.

Maybe a member from your state will respond but, off-hand, it varies by state.Best bet is to go to your nearby DMV,explain what you want to do,then ask them about the process.It could be simple.Good luck,Steve.

EDIT: Sorry. I didn't realize ibuzzard AND husker were answering. He's right, if you have a friend at the DMV, ask them about it too.

I'd like to try to find one with most of the pieces first if I can
Contacted the county treasurer today and getting a title doesnt sound terrible as long as the VIN is clean. Have to call him back and have it checked out.
The guy is asking $1500 for the one in Mankato (about a 5 hour drive) that buzzard posted, too much with no title?

Hey Ryan,
here's a 48 looks like it needs a bit of body work though!
Classifieds for Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming - ksl.com ford
I also have a 51 F3 that I could sell if ya wanted the better looking year body style as compared to the 48-50
Utah's not exactly right in your neighborhood though..
Good luck in your search
