Welcome from another newbie! Can't wait to see pics of your new old truck. I really like what I've seen on FTE of the Canadian version of our addiction.

Welcome to FTE, lots of great people and knowledge on here.
It's great having another Canadian on here. I was in London for the Queens Visit in late 90's great place.If you are looking for a truck Check Kijiji or come out to Winnipeg. There are tons of them sitting in peoples yards on the back roads could probably find ten 48-52, within an hour from my house.As for 53 -56 little more difficult. Good luck in your search.

Welcome to FTE. As you are looking for a truck, post some pictures of ones you are seriously looking at. The experts here can give you some great advise on the amount of work needing to be done.
Shoot, as you get your wants narrowed down, I'm sure a bunch of us would search the internet looking for what you want. We love helping someone get into a new old truck.

starter/project search and tribulations ,

Moose , i'v got a 50 , F1 ,"roller/project ", coming to London , from Yakima Washington , via Mount Clemens//Sarnia ,not for sale , but i'l let you know when it get's here , you can stop by our shop for a look and stories ,

Be very cautious and patient , there's a lot of $3500.00 lever-rite junk out there , looked at a bunch , here in southern Ontario , and decided to look further away , for dry country stuff , way better off to spend $3500.00 on near rust-free stuff , than to spend years and huge $$$$ , trying to re-skin rusty junk , founD mine on H A M B classifieds ,
