The search for my favorite pickujp is over!

I'm a little late on this post, sorry to hear about your dad Mike. Now would some one please photochop the truck to look like the one Mike's dad had back when. White paint, red rims, ect. Please, please.

 

Look for a fresh thread tomorrow or Wednesday, when the old fella is returned to his fresh, young truck look with no more effort than a few hours of deoxidizing and polishing old enamel.

 

Tiny -- I'm doing okay on grille trim, but if you want to part with those spring we might work a deal.

I'm going to drop the front end in stages, as budget allows, '50s style, beginning with tires, then move on to springs, and maybe go so far as an axle. The full package works out to better than seven inches! I can knock the front down more than four inches without the axle, and condsidering that the truck will probably be a Bonneville/Elmo push truck for Fuller's 'liner, that four-inch drop will be just fine.

 

That truck was one hell of a find. Sorry to hear about your dad, get your favorite photo of him have it copied and put it in the truck (on the visor or in the glove) that way he will always be riding with you in it.
