Fowl Jeff Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hello All, I've been a mostly silent observer for a year or so but getting ready to become a nuisance start a build thread. Anyway, the wife and I took a nice drive down to Ocean City, MD last Thursday for a car show called "Cruisin' OC". It's about 3 hours or so from our house. Mostly hot rods, rat rods, and muscle cars but it had a few nice gems which I will upload in this topic. It was a huge show with maybe 2-3 thousand cars - seriously! Anyway, how amazed I was that after entering the main area where most vehicles were on display, the FIRST one I saw was..you guessed it..a Dodge Pilothouse! It's for sale if anyone is interested, although IMO not worth what the owner is asking. The paint job was starting to rust through in spots, and it seemed to me that he "cheated" by covering up the running boards and bed with diamondplate. Anyway here are a few pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowl Jeff Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Not a Dodge, but since I own a '58 IH Farmall Cub I figure it's OK for me to show this old International Harvester pickup.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowl Jeff Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 And finally, here's a nice looking Plymouth truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Here was a beautifully restored 1936 Fargo..$12,500 maybe high but cannot start from scratch and get to where this truck is for $12,500. It has a number of OEM issues, engine, tyranny, rear axle, tailgate, just to name the obvious. Edit, love the patina IH, and the extended cab Plymouth, others very nice also.

48Dodger Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Lot of good looking trucks there Jeff....Thanks for posting them. 12,500 isn't to high if you can't do the big tasks like painting, upholstry, welding, engine rebuild. imo 48D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 SO, where is "0". San Francisco, or Giant Stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 SO, where is "0". San Francisco, or Giant Stadium? Used to be San Francisco. Now the western terminus of US50 is Sacramento. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowl Jeff Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Ocean City is basically a town built on a sandbar island in the Atlantic Ocean. It's a fantastic place to spend a few days, especially with the family. Beach, waves, boardwalk, bikinis (not that I look), pizza, amusement park, etc. Growing up my dad and mom used to load us kids in the station wagon every summer and we spent a few glorious days there. Anyway, as you're leaving there's a very normal looking road sign on the Route 50 bridge connecting the island to the mainland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowl Jeff Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I took 200-odd pictures over 2-3 days but am trying to stay somewhat tuned in on what would be of interest here. My wife fell head over heels in love with a green '69 Mustang Mach 1 and has been giving me the cold shoulder since I told her we had to get the truck running first. Oh well..nothing new there! So unless you guys want to see a few more here are my last few. First is a shot of me sitting on (I think) a model T. The owner was a great guy who started it up for us, showed us how it operated, and insisted I sit in the seat while my wife took the picture. Next - on our last day we met another super nice guy in the parking lot while we were walking to get breakfast. Attached is a shot of him sitting next to what I believe is an immaculately restored Model A. Finally the Evil Mustang that's significantly cooled down certain aspects of my marriage ... - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 So you've lost out to a horse? Does that then make you . . . I can't seem to remember my question, senior moment!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 its a ferd...pfft...mt g/f wants one....um...no.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowl Jeff Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hmm.. I guess losing out to a horse might make me ..er.. "short in the saddle" I've also been accused of being the southern end of a northbound horse! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 . . . Attached is a shot of him sitting next to what I believe is an immaculately restored Model A. . . Looks like a modified '32 Ford rather than immaculately restored Model A to me. At least its wheels have been swapped out and it looks like the suspension has been lowered. All the photos are of Fords and all are cars not truck. Wonder if the truck side moderator will consider this off topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil363 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) installing the battery correct polarity, rotating the air in your tires..changing blinker fluid Enjoyed the photos above and I also like the IH trucks. Also enjoyed Plymouthy's humor ... It took me a while to find the blinker fluid .. I guess the instructions on how to use it must be on the other side of the container Edited June 17, 2015 by Phil363 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowl Jeff Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hey Guys - the Pilothouse I mentioned above is on Craigslist: http://smd.craigslist.org/cto/5085849700.html. Price lowered to $9,500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBF Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 It is a Model A. The gas cap in the center of the cowl is the giveaway, but it does have a '32 grill shell. Nice looking car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
