Just between you me and all the FTE folks, I got this guy to sell everything you see in the add motor and trans included for 5K. I went and looked at everything yesterday. It all exists!! I dont want the motor and trans so I got him to 2500 for all but the Motor and trans. I was going to go and get it all on Saturday but.....

FORD LOVERS LOOK AWAY FROM THE REST OF THIS POST!!!!!
My Dad who built a 1954 GMC pickup several years ago, wants me and my boys to have his truck.............so we are going to take it off of his hands, I will let my boys 17, and 20 drive it. My hands will burn if I touch the Wheel! LOL

I have absolutely no afiliation with this guy I just thought I would pass this on to all my fellow FTE peeps. The truck is in Lake Forest California. The guy seemed to be very nice. I kinda feel bad, but he is desperate make no mistake! so if interested give him a call. ANy question give me a PM

Anyway to change the title of my post? I should have put in the title it is a 1950. I dont want anyone to miss out? Or maybe it should be moved to Classifieds? I have never had any success accessing the classifieds? Mods? Thanks Ryan

 

I made a pretty smokin' good deal myself this past summer. I picked up a 302 with a C6 bolted to it and a Chrysler T-bar front suspension all from the same guy for 300 bucks. I heard the engine run and it sounded okay. For that price I'll rebuild it if something is wrong. I got the T-bar in and the engine and transmission nestled in the frame rails of my 49 this summer but it will be next year before I can get it running...

 

That does look like a great deal! It's just too bad it's not the better looking younger brother version of the Bonus Builts (51-52) o

 

Well I bought the parts from this guy for our 1952, and I think he is keeping the power plant and he is going to sell the truck for 1500-2000 range, I think its worth it. I got his TCI rear four link, the aluminum fuel cell and the No limit radiator,

I think the radiator may be for a chevy engine, not sure what the difference is, I will have to call No Limit guys and ask em. If it wont work I will putting it on the market. Ryan
