Well here it is, my first truck project. A friend of mine found the truck about an hour away from me. I bought the truck, as a package deal, I got all the sheet metal, extra fenders and doors for 800. I have alot of work ahead of me, but my dad wants to start his model A that he has been putting off for a while, So I figured it would be a good idea if we worked together on are projects that way if we have extra puddy or primmer we can just hop on the other project,

Looks like a great project. I am in project hell with my dad right now. We are doing his truck, my camaro and he has a Corvair that he has sucked me into...lol. And to think that I thought when we sold all the race stuff I would have plenty of time...NOT!!!

Oh well we are having fun.

I bought a 1955 second series big back window truck, complete, with a recently rebuild six and three speed on the column for 150, short wheelie step side. pretty decent old truck, I thought about selling it but nowhere near that cheap. It runs and drives and doesnt look half bad, just needs new rear glass and its a compelete runner and driver.
