Projects Oh boy, got a new project! 1946 Ford

Too cool. Is that your pickup? I noticed the California plates.

 

love them old trucks,nice score!

 

Got some work done today. First I got the tires aired up and rolling. Then found the crack in the block. Probably fixable. I gutted and cleaned the interior of all the mice **** that was in there. Floor was not near as rusty as I had immagined. Notice the milage: 48,900 on the dot!!

 

Nice truck Chris, that thing is the perfect salt flat "pushmobile" with those bumpers. They look like they were designed for the salt.

 

cris, that truck is owned by a hamb member. he sold me my 38' pickup and kept this one. it was from another hamb member in riverside ca. motor was froze when he got it and after it was unstuck turned out tobe fresh rebuild that purrs! going down the road for under 1k.

 

Exactly what I said when i went up to look at it today," Bonneville push truck". Lets vote that he leaves the front & rear bumbers on it. SAVE THE BUMPERS.

 

That's a Fantastic truck Chris - your radar never fails you does it!
Your going to have to put an extension onto your garage.
Spence.

 

Agree with what has already been said... that IS the perfect Push mobile

 

Nice truck looks like you'll have as nice a truck as you had before congrats.

 

I dont know how you do it but you always find some of the coolest fords for great prices. So what are the plans for it?

 

HAHAHA! I will gladly donate the bumpers to whoever wants em...it does look pretty stout with them, HOWEVER, I have another vision in mind Oh, and the stacks gonna go, too! This things gonna have a stock front bumper and no rear bumper. As Oldebob would say "make a worthless truck out of it"

 

Nice dude.

Take notice everyone, this is one of the hardest working individuals regarding Hot Rods on this board. He has the drive of an American Pit Bull Terrier hahah!!!!

Saving up for your ticket to Charlotte still. Don't worry I am getting there.

 

Is it done yet?

 

Oh man, fly me in...we'll have your car done in no time

 

Very sweet truck bro, I'm currently looking for one myself. Hopefully I will have as much luck as you

 

JJ, you fly Chris is, I will drive down and gladly help! Just for the expierence!

 

Whoa, that would be pretty slick!!! I need all the help I can get, after all I am a self proclaimed idiot. Hahaha!!!

 

Personally, I like the 42-47 Ford trucks, especially for the money which might be why I have four of them in various states of disrepair. Nice find!

 

Give me a day and I can be there in like 12 hours, I've done it before! i can use the break from NY

 

Chris, If that's a 32 3/w door in the upper right-you'll kick yourself. Salvaging that stuff will take a sled and a winch.

Neat truck! Get her running and leave the paint as is!

 

I didn't see anything that looked remotly Ford except maybe a T fender. But you never know. Theres a neat club in Grand Coulee so I wouldn't exspect anything too neat down there, but you never know I had a couple guys PM me for the location, so maybe one of them will score something good!!!

 

I never liked the front end on those '42-'47 pickups but I'm sure you'll make it PURDY Chris!

 

hellofa buy! hard to find anything that straight.

 

You friggin ****.

I love it!

 

You're crazy, but your new truck looks pretty sweet.

I'd keep the front bumper and chrome it . Swap out the exhaust stack for a stripper pole and drive it!

 

Br*** or plated stripper pole?

 

nice find, something real solid to work with

 

dang.. cool truck.
cheap entertainment.

 

duh? Chrome!

 

great looking truck good luck with it.
