I like that tow truck Stan, would love to take a walk around in your back 40 too...

 

Finally, no more welding and grinding on the frame
After months of repairs/mods I gave the frame two coats of epoxy primer and three coats of SS acrylic. Now working on painting the suspension components to get it to a roller!! Also testing out new hosting site as I'm done with Photobucket

 

Cowdog, really nice truck and tractor. Looking good!

 

You can load your pictures right on here from your computer so no need for a third party..

 

And once you load them from your computer they don't disappear

 

Getting close now, pinstriping done. What a talented guy he was....Truck is pretty dusty and grubby right now, but I can't wash for a week.

 

Great pinstriping! I agree he's got talent.

 

That's awesome pinstriping! Not usually a fan but the coyote turned out great

 

Brought the truck and wagon to the Concours d'LeMons in Monterey on Saturday.

 

I used the long weekend to cut and buff the firewall and then to drop the cab back on the frame for what I hope is the last time.

49 f4 That I Picked Up For 1700.00
It's all original except for the engine, which is an old y block

 

Nice sixb! Sounds like a good deal. Welcome to the Forum!

Start a new thread and tell us more about it with more pics.

 

As mentioned in a previous post today, pretty much buttoned up for now with all the out-of-sight mods and repairs done. Fully expecting a drive around this week. First picture I've been able to get showing full stance. Needs the spacers installed on the back wheels but otherwise it's going to look like this for a while. All the time and money has been spent on safety, and comfort (brakes, transmission, rear-end, 12v, dropped front axle, removing helper springs and half the rest of the leafs at the back, general cleanup on everything underneath, painted engine, rebuilt rad, cleaned-up gas tank, wheels, tires...man i'm happy I didn't try to keep track of what all this has cost). My wife is telling me to get it done and bring it home, so I need to do that while I've still got approval. Bought it two years ago in August, started in earnest June last year. Had no idea how far this would go, but it's time to stop and drive it for a while.

 

Nice truck Dave. Now the fun begins!
