I've been on the Bumpside Forum for years with my '69F-100. I just bought an old relic I couldn't pass on. Even my wife got excited when we spotted it. Down in the Texas Hill Country a week or so ago and spotted what I thought was a 1946 Ford Panel truck. Come to find out it was a '42, for sale, and looked solid. Just a For Sale sign on it. No price, no phone number, no contact info. So we wrote down the phone number for the business it was parked in front of. It was Sunday, everything was closed. Next day I called to find out who owned it. To shorten up a week long story, I bought it and will go get it Thursday.

It's got a 5.0 roller motor, 5-speed, 9" 4:11 rear, Lincoln Town Car front clip, and air conditioning. Perfect stablemate for the '69. Will post pics soon. There now, I've said "Hey".

 

waiting for pic!!

Welcome to the '47 and older forum. Sounds like a fun truck. We like pix here, so when you get a chance feel free to post some pix of your new ride.

 

This is the only picture I have. We took it the day we found the the old guy.

 

Very nice and looks solid.

 

Looks like you will be driving down the road before most of us!!!

 

Maybe in this case, but that poor old '69 has been unoccupied for years

 

Looks Great! (I'm jealous)

Although the '50's guys like to say it, but you're really on the "dark side" now. Less parts, less people Even some "Ford people" ask what year and make is that truck?

and HEY !

 

Yeah, Hey right back! I did notice a lot fewer guys on this forum, but some of the best times I've ever had there wasn't but two of us

 

Nice find! Good luck with the new project. You definitely will be on the road before most of us.

Hopefully I'll be one the road tomorrow. That's when I'm going to pick it up.

 

Besides you, I'll bet the other person is in the photo!!

 

True enough!

 

Nice score. Post some more pics when you get a chance.

 

I'll try to shoot a few good pics on Friday.
