What have I got myself into?

General Chat

Q:

I just bought a 56 Ford Flatbed Pickup 2.5 tonnes
Body is straight as an arrow, some surface fust (one or two holes)
and a crazy part is the engine runs
The bed is 7 by 14 ft (small sized room)
all that for $250
Did I mention 2.5 tonnes

good find , now you can haul a z car around on the back of your new truck! actually thats probably a really good price for a running truck like that.

I will need to bleed the brakes and check few things before I will drive this thing, but the engine purred like a kitten (a big kitten)

I was thinking of getting something like that to use as a tow vehicle. Great find on yours. I like those trucks, the old Ford HD trucks looked nice.

I used to buy tons of stuff from Dennis Carpenter for my 52 F6, 53 F1, and 46 Super Deluxe Convertible. The problem with the bigger trucks is that availabliity of parts is not as good as the smaller pick up sizes, however alot of stuff does interchange.

The have great stuff.
Good Luck with your new truck!

thanks bros
