Pictures in gallery
I've been lurking around here awhile. Sorry I haven't offered alot of input. Not alot of experience...just figuring things out as I go. I have received a wealth of info here though and would like to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge. I especially enjoy the galleries so I thought I would try to put a few pictures up. The old truck aint fancy but she has character (alot like the wife) Thanks

There's a lot to be said for casual comfort though, huh?! (I'm trying to help you dig out of the hole you got yourself into - if your wife ever sees this - lol)
Great pictures of your truck. I took 5 layers of paint off my '48 a few years ago so I know what you're going thru. It's looking good - keep after it and you'll be on the road before........uh...... half the guys on this forum!

Nice to see another 56! Looks like a very fun project. No apoliges needed here, as you have to learn before you teach and I think I speak for the board here when I say were glad our input helps. Stick around, at least offer us some humor

I have to ask was the frame shortened or were the axles replaced with 3/4 ton, or did it come that way with the short box bed.
It would be a rare one if it was ordered a 3/4 ton short bed.
I really like it!

Good eye! The frame was shortened by previous owner. I liked the idea of the short bed 250, but p/o simply cut the end off which is causing me a few problems. However, I think I can work around it. Appreciate your response too!

i do have a quick question for you on the passenger side cowl panel did you get a full replacement piece or just a partial one? i really cant tell in the pic and if its a full one does it have the louvers for the heater in it?
thanks for any info you can give me

I had to get the full replacement and all I could find was solid (no louvers). The heater still put out but admittingly I didn't run it much. Probably going to have to provide some sort of fresh air intake.

Fordgo...
Got mine from ***. Passenger side went in easy. Drivers side was a real pain. Both my cowls had holes in them which I had to patch. They didn't show the holes in them in the catalog. Not sure what they were for. I've been able to get a little bit done the last couple months. Some time off work for the holidays and wth the weather getting colder I can't do anything else outside ( at least that is the excuse I use.... and it has worked so far ) Take care
