Default I got busy.....

Hey all, sorry for the delay in getting pictures, but I had something come up. I promise i will have pics by the end of this weekend.

I did however find out a bit more about the chassis. I mentioned it to my mom, and she said she can remember it from when she was a kid. My cousin would use it as a snow plow for the winter, and then the rest of the year used it to get to the hunt camps and for hauling lumber out of the bush. She thought it has probably been parked atleast 25 years...

More to come later.

Tom

Default Finally got pics!!

I got busy last weekend, so here are the pics I promised. Frame and axles look ok, the rest not so much. Is it worth draggin out this spring? Could it be rebuilt, or just parted?

Anyways, enough talking, here the pics....
















Think it's still got any warranty?






And my wife, who threatened divorce and death if I drag this home. I hear a challenge....

Default Worth saving......even if it's a Ford....

Rims....axles..... tranny....T case.... shock absorber...steering box....fuel tank (?)..... frame looks shortened from both ends and welded bracing in front... a lot of parts can be salvaged from the engine......

I would drag it home if it was me......

I saw that Boob.

Hi Tom, That engine looks like a good fixer uppper. Still lotsa good stuff on what some might think is just a pile of junk just as bob mentioned.

Cheers from one of the Ford boys in Windsor

Well, since there are horses in the family, that truck looks like it's been run hard and put away wet too often.

If the missus is into horses, how come youre not allowed a truck (or two)????

This'll stir something up - like poking a brown snake with a stick.

Problem is, I already have a couple old jeeps, a 67 M38A1 I am just finishing, and a 67 CJ3B, as well as a 53 M100, etc etc.

I do think I will be dragging this out of the bush though after snow melts...
