howdy guys and gals my name is jailbar joe and i hail from york western australia...been a member on the hamb for a few years....this is my vicky that i have owned for about 5 years and is still the same way that it came in from idaho even down to the left hook steering....pretty original car with a tired old 272 y block and fordomatic ******... at present i am locating a 292 to rebuild as that is what should be in the car. about to pull it off the road and rebuild the front suspension and convert to disc's as well..i don't plan any major changes as i think the vickies are pretty cool as they are. i have a couple of jailbars (42-47) on the road hence the name. been reading a few posts and reckon you guys are pretty switched on and heaps of knowledge to be gained...i just hope i can add something in return...thanks for having me if you accept me
Welcome Joe, you were right, our cars are twins. Great minds and all. For the several new members, as I see you post, I add you to our group map.
Too many of those cars on here. You need to sell it or give it away and get a '59. Just trying to help.
okay...i will give it away to the salvo's.... thanks for the welcome people...been enjoying reading a lot of the posts and as stated ...so much info...it's great that you don't need to sift thru the ******** to get to it
Beautiful car. What's a jailbar?? lol. I like your plans of not altering it too much. Love the pinstriping, btw.
42-47 ford pickups...as54vicky says..we call them jailbars here coz of the grille.... first one is a 46 and the second one an ex military 41
