love to see some 48-52 ford trucks

and for you canadian hambers 48-52 mercury trucks dead or alive

 

Not Canadian, but close enuff to the border I guess. Any way here's a pic of my 51 Merc pickup in progress.

 

Here ya go...

 

heres a 51 I helped my buddy get on the road this summer.

 

k-member, your trucks sits perfectly, can you details whats been done to it ?
Obviously it's had a chop and is wearing a 48/49 hood, but has it been channeled or frame Z'd ?
The running boards appear to slope down from the back to front was that something done by moving the bed up or just mounting the boards higher on the rear fenders ?
Cool truck.

Wow, just check the date of this thread... a bit old, but then so are these trucks

 

Here it is 2 months ago, just the way its been since 1992 , , Here it is now! ,

 

B-knuckles..

Any mods or is it all stock ? Very nice truck, I liked the fat rear tires you had back in 92. Are you going to get wide whites for the front too ?

 

Here's my '49. Still working on the interior.

 

dgc15, looks like you either have a bad link or forgot to post one...

 

I guess you'd call mine "stock appearing", still flat-8, stock drivetrain but all the reliability mods (MSD, alternator, etc). Want to get some highway gears in it, one way or another...

 

If you ask me, that's one sweet looking stock truck!. Seems I've seen it somewhere before????

 

My 49 COE. Not stock or original in much except the sheetmetal. On a 74 GM reg cab dually chassis with 350 and turbo 400 drivetrain. My daily driver most of the time.

 

Keep em coming.... Im thinking about buying a '49 and would love to see some more kustom ideas!

 

That COE looks cool, I'd love to do that and use a late F-350 Turdbo Deisel.

Albuq, the stock appearing makes a nice change, I wish I had a stock one to look at from time to time just to measure stuff. This might sound stupid but I've never actually seen a stock one, since I am Australian and only 35 ALL the 48-52's I've seen were hotrods...

 

It's an oldie, but a goodie (05). Details, MII by TCI under the front and I C'ed the rear part of the frame and put the rear axle on top of the springs. Running boards are in the stock location. Put on the correct front end (51) and added the 2 extra teeth of course and punched 88 louvers in the hood. 4" chop and used the 48-50 bed because I like the bedside reviels and used 49 Merc tail lights. Power comes from a real worn out 66 HiPo 289/C4. Here's some more recent picks, the black one is my fathers (OldBeets) and his is chopped 4.5" and shorted 12" and is running a 390 police interceptor/C6 with factory tri power and has been just like that for the last 35 years or so.

 

heres one me and some buddys are working on
bofore

mocked up

 

k-member, is this the same truck as the Elroys Septic & Tasty BBQ truck further back in the thread ?

 

Thats one hell of a chop there, what is that 7 inches ?

 

here my 2 1948 coe and 1949 F-3

 

What he said, how much chop is that? Have any more pics of it? Thanks

 

My project '48 F1 with '40 Ford Rearend and 40 suicde front suspension. Gonna Chop it soon! Any advice on the chop?

 

My Buddy Brian sent you a picture when we first got it on the road, here a couple of updated pic's

 

Sanford, those pics are tiny, got any bigger ones ?

Also, Egg Man the pics of your COE's are just thumbnails that I can see, got the fullsizes ?

 

I think one might be a 46. It has a bus front end sitting on it.

 

yep 7 inches have other pics but were not done with it yet

 

trying to post large picture

 

Heres our 49.

....here's one I put together a few years ago, Nova sub,SBC, auto, etc.
I really like these "monkey face" trucks; got one waiting for me to get to after my current project is done.

 

Here is my '49. still working on the interior.
Hope this link works!
