Please Save These Trucks

Fellow FTE Brothers and Sisters,

In one of my galleries are photos of two '48-'50 Fords, one a M-H F-5 and the other an F-6 highway tractor. The owner is planning on scrapping them soon and I already have too many projects. They seem to have 'way too much potential to just scrap...

Man,if they weren't so far away I'd jump on them in a minute. Hopefully, someone can save them. Good luck.

I'm like you Johnny, they need to be saved. Somebody in that part of the country ought to at least rescue the M-H.
