It was a lazy afternoon. Lunch was over. Morning motorcycle ride done. Decided to scan CL. First page nothing. Second page. 1949 Truck. Hey dad look at this. We looked at the PICS. I said "Im going to call him". It turns out the truck is 10 miles away. Dad and I jump in the truck and went to look at it. It was what was advertised.
Back story on us. We have restored many cars in the past. My dad owned a restoration business so I got to work on a lot of them. He is getting up in age. 80 and I'm 57.
He drives a restored 1961 Studebaker Lark almost everyday. I said we need another truck. I looked at Fords and Chevys but he restored a 5 window Dodge truck when I was in HS and I never forgot it.
We are going to keep it original. It is a three owner truck. They guy I bought it off of only had it a year. His plans changed so my gain.
About the truck. Looks to be all there. Floor boards are rusted out. Bed wood is gone. Windows need replacing. Gas tank gone. Good bones to work from. So when I get it home I will post pics.
Looking for parts and advice along the way.
Albert
