For your photos - many of us here and on a couple of other sites that I frequent use Photobucket. It's free and you just copy and paste to your thread. A couple of words of warning about that site. Make sure you download to your computer first to save the pictures the download to Photobucket. Then, if you move or change the picture on Photobucket, it changes or removes it from your thread. Another way is to use something like Photoshop Elements. You can modify and clean up the pictures, resize them to a smaller size then post. I use 500 pixels for the with and the fit just fine here.

OK - great find, though that early flathead - gonna cost big bucks to get running, especially if it's the pre 59A or A-B/8BA versions as parts for them are tough to find and when you do, be prepared for sticker shock

Whatever way - lots of work ahead so keep the pictures coming

You'll need a different front axle. That one does not deliver power to the front wheels. And you'll need a transfer case... All trucks need to be 4x4 don't they? No? Maybe just here in the South.

lol Well there are trucks that are 2-wheel drive. Well since it's new, check the shocks and strut assembly. Brakes too. BTW any updates regarding your new truck?

hope this helps yak

one more. good luck with the build glad you rescued it.

thanks, hopefully sitting over the winter full of diesel and other rust busting fluids maybe the motor will turn... will see what happens....
