Myself and a friend have been looking for a couple of trucks we finally found what we wanted. Where not sure what year they are but the guy we got them from said 48's one is a chevy the other is a ford . Check out the old hand crank winch on my Buddy's truck. the man in the pic is who we got the trucks from he wanted to keep old winch

Congrats on thae finds for both of you guys. It's always exciting to find a project like that. And like Don said, what's the plans for it?

The ford is in the best shape but both have solid floors from what we can tell so far. the Chevy passenger door across the bottom needs to be replaced and the cab corners But for south Alabama there in great shape for here i think.

Mine is the Chevy i liked the fat look it kinda matches me lol . Were going to build a couple rats . going to start on his ford first and then the Chevy.

Congrads on the find Tiny,
Looks like you've got some good tin to work with. While you're still in the planning stages, you need to know what parts are available to you at what price. begin by getting a couple of free catalogs that you can order from the net:

This catalog will get you direct replacement parts:

LMC TRUCK
www.LMCtruck.com

This catalog will get you upgrade and speed parts:

CCP Classic
www.classicperform.com

While you're waiting on those, you can take a peek-see at my website to get an idea of what can be done when you have limited cash flow. I built my 52 F1 for under $2,000, and that included the truck and the engine.

Thanks for the links Lakota .

LMC is a great place and very easy to deal with.
