Lookin' good so far Casey! You've come a long way from where it started. Question: Are those horns in the one shot of the engine? I've never seen bent trumpets like that in these trucks.

Also: Whats the story on the 51? It looks pretty straight from the one picture. Doesn't look like your average PA truck.....or OH, or IN, or IL,etc

Glad you got the posting thing figured out.

Truck look nice, very good to start with. Good to see someone else is working on a bigger pickup.

Mtflt yes those are horns they are actually two toned and came in the truck and we got them to work. So they are staying in cool huh. As for the 51 yes it is a pa truck, the first owner owned a tractor dealer and used it to go to farms and work on the old tractors. the 52 was actually made in Chester Pa. I forget where the 51 one was built. my father will be posting the pics for me he gets and keeps them all on file as me and my fatherinlaw send them. Bob thanks for the pointers too get these up here and thanks to every one else who helped. as for the bigger truck whats that old saying bigger is better... Actually my dad used to have a 53 f-2 yrs ago and I always wanted to get one done for him go figure never find them then find 2 within 10 miles of me and each other.. Thanks again and more to come Casey.

Those horns look like stock 5-Star horns that were very carefully bent! Sure looks strange, are they mounted like that, or just hanging loose?

Casey,

The last line reminds me of the Ford commercial that was running a while back:
