Old trucks are totally GAY!!! Especially old beater F1's (like mine). Some day I'll get her running again.
Nope, but it does have a Merc (car grill). HAMB'r ElPolacko owns it. Recently featured in Cl***ic Trucks mag.
Guess I mite as well get in on this...here's a link to a pic of my 48 F-1 , which is for sale by the way. Anyone interesred? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/rustytoo/48F-147ADbyCleary003.jpg
ElP's handsome F-100 . . . Sorry I can't credit the photographer, but this has been in my archives for better than a year and I can't recall who shot it. Mike
Still my personal favorite . . . Wish I'd hung on to this Hemi-powered '53 a couple of years ago. LaSalle top-shift three-speed, 9 inch . . .
This 20's era Mack was at a parade, that our Model T club was in also, last Saturday out in Taft Calif.
This is the best site ever. Those custom trucks posted are totally awesome that it makes mine look like ****. Oh Well!! I still like my Rattie 47 Diamond-T. Here's a link to our Rattie 47 Diamond-T pick-up: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/golds***chstar@sbcglobal.net/album?.dir=c6c0&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.sbc.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos Use to be a 3/4ton tow truck and saved it from going to the s****e yard. A friend gave me a 78 C10 pick-up that is now the foundation for the Diamond-T. Moved the motor back 4" and dropped it down 2", also extended the frame 4" (should have gone a least 10", Oh Well). The motor (body shop donation) is out of a 89 Camaro, it's a 305ci with a 700R Trans and running a four barrel carb (took the throttal body off). At first I installed a Franklin Grand National Quick Change, but didn't like it cause of the spool, so I took it out and installed a 93 Impala 323 posi unit. Installed and converted a 15 gallon beer keg for a fuel tank. Did all the wiring and flush mounted the front windshield, ****ed at center. Tail lights are swap meet items for 20.00 and made a box to mount them (mid 60's Galaxy, we think). Made a steel flat bed with three side for hauling, along with a good strong tow bar. Took it to the Pile-Up (160 miles round trip) for it's first shake down run. It was a joy driving this new ride. Except for the spool in the Quick Change which is now changed.
Here's my friend,John's '41 Dodge. It took 8 years but he rebuilt it all himself. It now has the original style headlights on it.
Nothing like ownin an old truck turns more heads than any big buck exotica, well my 51 Chev 3100 does
