Rosie a 1949 Ford F-1 with what seems to be a parcel delivery box from an f-3. The engine has been swapped with a 352fe, 3 on the tree. I知 looking for ideas on what to do with her. I知 thinking daily or even something to travel the states in.

 

Welcome lots of options for use but I think you should sell ice cream . lol

 

I'd vote for, "traveling the states". I've taken my 52 Panel on four cross country adventures. If you are not adverse to roughing it, sleeping in your truck saves a lot of money--avoiding restaurants even more. I only get about 15 mpg, which is disappointing by modern standards. You'll maybe get even less, but even with the sky high fuel prices, travel can still be affordable in a self contained vehicle like yours. Your truck will get a lot of attention wherever it goes. Along with the attention, comes a willingness for strangers to step up and help you get through the little emergencies that inevitably occur when you are out there on the road in a truck that's likely older than you are. It's my experience though that you are never alone driving an old truck.

Good luck and welcome. We'd love to see more pics of your truck.

Depending on your travel plans you may want to consider an AC system, a very large AC system. Around July 1966 my parents and my brother drove to Texas in a 62? Econoline panel. Thought we were going to die.
