    "...Really it's a one of a kind custom, the front half of the truck is a commercial '49 F-5 COE and the back half is a '49 F-1 Panel Delivery. The two halves were grafted together at the front pillars, even when you know where you can't tell. The body is mounted to an '85 Chevy 1/2 ton short bed regular cab ch***is that was shortened 10". It has a SBC (mileage unknown) and turbo350 ******, power brakes and power steering. The interior is 90's grey tweed, the upholstery is clean, presentable, and comfortable. The dash is '49 Ford with SW "Wings" gauges. The paint is a little faded but looks great from 8' away, the wheels are 15" steelie's, it has a 2" receiver tow hitch and wiring to the back bumper. The headlights are custom oversized and the grill is stainless (kinda' rare). She's not a "show truck", but it gets more attention than most of the trailer queens at the shows. It's also not my daily driver but I do drive it almost every day and it has the nicks and scratches to prove it. It's ***les as a 1949 Ford Panel Delivery and has current Ca registration (***le in hand). I bought it from a guy in Kansas City and drove it non stop to Livermore with no problems at all. Signage is vinyl so it won't be a problem removing it. Would be a great shop truck, or as advertising to support a unique business, or bag it and add some black 20" DIVCO or Military wheels?... or just leave it alone and enjoy."

    I think it's pretty cool. I LOVE the panel van out of a COE thing, but I wish they had put it on a heavier ch***is. Like a 1 ton or something.

    Ditto... I mean, at LEAST a 3/4 ton, you know? Something with 8-lug wheels and bad-*** OEM hubcaps. Maybe a couple of Dana 60s... LOL!

    Always laughed at the ad for it in the goodguys gazette. It read "voted best car at back to the 50's"....which is a no-trophy show!

    with all that work you would think they would have grafted in the smaller front wheel wells.
