  2. ...and being chased away by an ornery old man with rock salt loaded in his shotgun.

    Great story.

  6. Nice score and story. What are little brothers for? Now, you know when the car gets on the road this will come up in an argument about who gets to drive it first.

    My little brother moved to Texas just to get out of helping me with my little projects-- what kind of brother is that? Hope your younger bro never smarten's up and stays loyal to your shared adventures, it builds character. LOL Happy New Year

    I sure hope you guys get your project finished. How many build books start out with shots of the cab on a sled shot? WAY cooler than your regular old barn find! Gary

    Enjoy all the adventures you can with your brother. Lost mine two years ago and still miss those dumb things we used to do together.

    Man I LOVE to see young people involved with the older cars...instead of rice rockets. Well done, guys!

    By the way, small Model A trucks used the same ch***is and drive train as p***enger cars, but big Model A trucks were actually "Model AA" trucks, and used a truck rear axle and a larger, heavier frame. You MIGHT find that you like that bigger frame, if it isn't bent or too badly rusted. Much heavier for a modern drive train than a p***enger car frame. Also, vintage truck enthusiasts are always on the lookout for old Ford truck-only items. I once bought a salvage collection of old cars in M***achusetts which happened to be loaded up with Model TT Ford truck ch***is and parts. Some doctor in Philadelphia bought ALL those parts, site unseen, for the same amount I had paid for the entire salvage yard of cars and trucks and parts. Cool!
