Ive been lurking for quite a while drooling over every one's trucks and projects.
I got lucky or in neck deep depending on how you look at it.
I got a 49 ford f1 in need of some love and repair for 500 bucks.
The guy i bought it from said he will try to get it dug out from where it is next week. Ill get it home and start making the list of thing i will need.
So in the mean time ill post some pics.
has some stuff in the back and a dented fender...also notice the WHITE wall tire. tells you how long its been setting there.
interior is missing a seat and a passenger floor and a few other pieces.
V8 flat head still in there i haven't tried to put a ratchet on it but i could move it a bit back and forth by the belt.
the front frame horns are both bent some and the front sheet metal is tweaked a bit.... nothing to bad from what i can see.

Welcome, and looks like a decent start to your project. My 51 was in worse shape than that when I got it, and well it's in just about the same shape today, (just in pieces) lol well a little has been done, but not much.

Welcome imabaka!
All of us started somewhere - looks like you have some decent pieces to begin you project.
You appear to have a big 'ol horn mounted between the radiator and grill. Is that the case? Those puppies are respect generators.
