Default Ford Truck

Hi Leo,

Brilliant job on the truck, it looks great. Well done.

I am interested in a similar restoration, and want to know where you found the those tires?

Also do you have any dimensions or scale drawings of the cargo bed and sides?

Great work, and keep the pictures coming.

Cheers,

Rob McCue

thanks for compliments rob, the tires are now available new they are a 7.25x20" made in the EU. i will get the info for them. as far as the bed dimensions its a standard ford flat bed that after looking at lots of period picts kinda just did it in my head and came out with that. i could get some measurements for you though.
