Based on the Vega tail lights, I'm guessing it's an old build and is ready for a refresh.

Hey Checker
Welcome Aboard. That color is very similar to our 1950 F1..
So... What's your plan for the truck?

49 F1
I need to get it running...trans was bad and I changed that...needs a lot of work..basicly bought as a roller even though the crappy drivetrain is present. I have been working on it daily for two weeks straight. I had to push it into the garage. Needs paint also. Fortunately I have a lot of stuff to use. It looks good in the pics but the paint is poor. My garage is a mess and glad My garage rafters supported the chainfall for the motor exchange. I put a 351 2bbl cleveland in it with the 4 speed. I still have 8.8 rearend parts if I take the 44 out.

Hey Checker
We went with the 8.8 Explorer rear end with cruise friendly 3.73 gearing. It's not
hard to switch if you decide to go that route.

So... What is that coming out of the cab into the bed? Or is it a mirage to
my old eyes....
