near miss
The scrap yard down the road has a 39 ford truck in pretty good shape, nearly complete, wooden flat bed, looks bigger than a half ton. It's already sold, $800. I think it went cheap. I would have jumped on it..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

you bet, Mike, I knew a feller back in the 70s that had one and those grills, when chromed, are the cat's meow
they were so different from anything prior to that - - - maybe that's where the idea for the Edsel grill came from LOL.

It's "mostly there", but there's a lot of work to bring it back to pristine. I'd say $800 to $1000 is about right, but then I don't have any hint of Barrett-Jackson Syndrome.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
