Hi Folks,
Sorry to have been out of touch for a few months. I've been too swamped to check in on the forum, let alone play with my '47 1 ton. Anyway, I ran into this ad on Craigslist - someone is selling a '48 COE that runs, for what looks like a reasonable price. I realize this is one year younger than the focus of this forum, but I figured y'all might know of people who'd want to hear about this. I hope everyone has been having a good winter.

That's not a bad price.
I hauled this one back for a guy and he got 8500 for it.

 

Looks like you could buff the paint out and be GTG.

 

^^^^What he said^^^^

 

Was about 4 miles from it today.... Oh well, like I need another truck. Good to see you back Cap'n.

 

What does NEED ever have to do with acquiring another vintage Ford,lol. Oh wait, those old trucks are my opiate of choice, I seem to think I need to own everyone that I find within reach.

 

I was with my wife in her focus and we were racing for the ferry. You KNOW I would have at least stopped in for a look if I was alone. Besides, if we caught the 3:05 it would still be light enough out to mount the recently changed used tire and wheel onto my tonner parts truck. The whole time I was visiting my kids I was searching CL for a 3 speed truck tranny for the woodie. I had a thick blanket and some cardboard in the back of her wagon, jic. Opiates would be as pale as a bud light compared to the thrill of picking up another find.
