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...
