Stepdad went and did it... got ANOTHER truck!
« on: Apr 18, 2006, 09:41:27 AM »
Well, my stepdad got a phone call on this '52 Ford pickup.... and he couldn't resist.  He drove out to look at it, and the dummy took the trailer with him :headshake:  :eyebrow:

He comes home, and 2 days later has this beaut drivin!!











At least he got a good deal on it.... All the chrome for the front end was in the cab, and an extra front end in the bed of the truck, as well as a bunch of parts that didn't even go to it :greengrin: I'll post pics of it when he gets the chrome on :yesnod:

Well, the front fenders are shot, so he's gonna replace those, lay some plywood (for now) in the bed, get some new rubber, and drive it as a daily driver so he can keep his work truck a work truck.  He says maybe down the road he'll primer it, but for now he's gonna keep it the way it is (colorwise). :crossed:

He had to swap out the 302 that was in it with another 302 he had layin around in the shop.  It purrs!! I'll get some better detailed pics next time he's in the garage

Sweet!
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
