Nice lookin' "Binder", 42K3. Is that '55 Chevy next to it a Napco?Rrumbler, Aka: Hey you, "Old School", Hairy, and other unsavory monickers.

To answer your question ....'40-41 "hands down"! The '53-'56 body is good looking, but looked a little too "heavy".
I'll add that I think there are even better looking trucks, but that is not what you asked.Last edited by HOTRODPAINT; 07-25-2009 at 12:18 PM.

iirc the '55 had 8 lug wheels and front disc brakes as well as some other late model features. It is possible that it started out as a Napco.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

That gold one is gorgeous Bob! Never cared for the next one , I think it's something about the grill. But hey that's why there are different car brands, we each like different stuff!"

Nice paint work. The highlights make it pop as though it was a separate machined cut metal top. Did you design that yourself?

Here ya go Donnie. IMHO not Ford's best grill design (pretty much the same as the '38 truck), reminds me of a Great Lakes lamprey............. Originally Posted by DONNIE G

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
