Default My new project

Here's my newest addition. I tucked it into the corner at work so I can work on it in my spare time. I know, I know she's pretty rough but I can see beyond it all. Plus cab 11's don't show up in the Toronto area too often. Check out the wooden spoke wheel differential added as a winch after the war.

Default Great discovery.....

,,,, now you know it was not a chip wagon

Start shopping for JB Weld to fix the bottom of your gas tank.

when are you buying your second truck
for parts ...

Cheers

Default Well half is still there....

Give a good body man 15 minutes and he will have it fixed........

Do me a favour, can you measure the distance from the front fo the tank to the filler neck.......should be eaither 6.25 or 9.25 inches..... and maybe include a picture of the full top sode of your tank.

Meanwhile get yourself a portable outboard motor plastic fule tank from CTC.


Cheers
