Where did I park?
Does anybody know where the hell I parked my truck?
Just kidding. It really is an enormous web site though. I'm gonna need a week off just to look at the all pictures.

We spend years not being able to drive our trucks while they're being restored or modified. When they're done, we don't drive them in case something happens. Right now I have a Ranger Edge for my 60 mile round trip to work and back every day. I need the mileage, reliability and creature comforts of a new truck. But when I retire I'm gonna find me a beat up old 48-56 Ford pickup in drivable condition and run the darn thing till the wheels fall off.

It's driving me crazy to not drive it. I'm just not into garage art.

I had projects for over ten years that were so far in the works I couldnt drive them. I finally got fed up and bought a driver (49 Ford 2 door Sedan)
I keep it drivable for cruis einns and small shows. I hope to have my F1 on the road inside of 2 years. The only thing stopping me is money.

LOL, the truck is turning into quite a Frankenstien. The truck kind of found me, it wasn't really what I was looking for in a project but it sure has turned out to be a whole lotta fun. Basically the truck is a big learning curve. I've always been a gar guy and have had tons of old cars and trucks. Most of my modifications in thepast have been upgrades of existing components, built engines, etc. With this truck I am trying out sorts of different things and learning how to do alot of stuff. Right now I'm working on developing metalworking skills
Not sure where it will end up, I guess someday I will make it "purty"
Now that its finally driveable I'm having a ball just cruising it.

I know many people who build these amazing trucks just to put them in the back of some trailer and drive them from show to show. if your going to spend the money and time on a ol' truck you may as well but it all to the test and drive your truck all the time... you build 'em to drive'em

I won't be able to start looking yet. Got a `50 M47 that I'm gonna need to spend all my spare cash and time on for a while. I'm not complaining though. Not even a little bit. Here's why: www.gofastgarage.com/50merc.htm
