NICELY DONE !!!
Hey Their, that's allot of holes you patched in WOW !!!, looks like it came out good, that's something I need to start doing is Body Work on my 58, but I Lack the welding skills so I have to look for a good welder, because these old Trucks are METAL TANKS. NICELY DONE !!! on the body work, and when the primer goes on it will look even better. Do you have a COLOR in mind ??

I'm pulling up a chair for this.
I have a '47 1 ton pick up on deck. Just don't know if I'll have time to restore her to her original state of grandeur. She's all original though, used to be a hardware stores delivery truck. Only 40k miles on her, and she ran until she was parked in '97. Fortunately the motor turns over by hand and feels like it still has good compression. And here in Socal, no rust!
Enough about my lady, yours looks like it's coming along quite nicely. Looking forward to watching this build progress.

Gonna be a lot of activity with the '47 trucks soon. Torched, I'm hoping to see pics of your tonner. I have lived and breathed the one ton pickups for almost 30 years. Best all around truck for me. I'm getting a '47 2 ton when they decide to deliver it. Arrrrgh, and I will post pics of progress as I get it situated here and try to start it up after sitting for what looks like many years. Flourmaker, the work you are doing is truly inspirational. My welding is steadily improving, and almost as good as my wife's. True story..... Keep up the pics! Something 'bout a jailbar, for sure.

Reply to your 1947 ford from nascarpowder
I would like to start off by saying that this is my first reply and I have a 1947 ford I am working on aswell.
I am super impressed with all the quality hard work you have done and all I can say is WOW. It will look beautiful when your done so I just want to say your dedication is remarkable to restore that truck.
I am just in the middle of swapping out the motor to and I am concerned how I can adjust the steering mecs considering I am putting in 351 Windsor and want to run headers so I don't loose horse power. I was told it will be a very tight fit and I will run into problems with the manual steering. any ideas. I want to keep steering to keep the original feel . my kids love how bouncy and rough ride it is . it makes you feel like your driving a truck from the forties. good luck with everything kevin
