    near miss

     



    The scrap yard down the road has a 39 ford truck in pretty good shape, nearly complete, wooden flat bed, looks bigger than a half ton. It's already sold, $800. I think it went cheap. I would have jumped on it.

    you bet, Mike, I knew a feller back in the 70s that had one and those grills, when chromed, are the cat's meow
    they were so different from anything prior to that - - - maybe that's where the idea for the Edsel grill came from LOL

    It's "mostly there", but there's a lot of work to bring it back to pristine. I'd say $800 to $1000 is about right, but then I don't have any hint of Barrett-Jackson Syndrome.
