It will soon be mine!!

I will be purchasing a 1959 F100 4 wheel drive. 49,000 orirginal miles, original paint, no rust. I plan on an engine rebuild and a new factory colors paint job. I want to show this truck. I am really excited. I will have to go to New Mexico to pick it up but no biggie there. I have seen it close up and personal and it is a beauty!

MrFeexit -

Read the thread at the top of the forum list on "How to Post Pictures in Threads". Everything you never wanted to know...

MrFeexit,

I'm in Germantown, just north of Milwaukee. Too bad it would be so far out of the way, I would like to see it on your way home. Is it road worthy? You could take it to the "Dash to the Dells" in it's present condition, I'm sure the guys there would like to see in it's original condition.

A picture of the truck is now in my profile/gallery. The truck is currently in use. The owner uses it for errands and such but has a newer truck and his wife is really tired of this truck sitting around. She has been on him to sell it and it has been made clear that he will be selling it to me very shortly. In it's current state I would drive it to the Dells no problem. First I have to get it here from New Mexico.

Looks like a great find. Not many around in that condition with such a good rust free body.

If you are not pressed for time I would fly down and drive it home. Stay on the county roads maybe old route 66.

That would be great but I am a general contractor and no way I can be gone for long. I am taking a road trip to Texas next week to do a tile job for my brother...yeah yeah long trip for some tile but I promised I would help on his new home. Anyone need a ride to the Shreveport LA area?? His house is just over the border in Texas...near Marshall.

MrFeexit,

Nice find and a great looking truck!! Yep, there are some great rust free trucks here in NM.
If you need some help while you are out here in NM let me know I might be able to give a hand.

Bobby
