I have been reading this forum for several months now and have gotten the urge to restore an old pickup. I have made my living for the past 45 years working out of a pickup and am nearing retirement so I thought I would like to drive around in a '52 Ford pickup.

I bought one last week and drove to Denver to trailor it back to California. Can't wait to get started and with all the information and willing people on this forum it should be fun.

 

Welcome to our side of town and congrats on your 52. Ya just gotta give in to your urges when it comes to an old Ford pickup and being a mechanic gives you a leg up on most.
Jump into your project and post some pictures real soon!
