51 Ford Vanette Wholesaler

[jdsdjservices]

I found this delivery truck on ebay about a year and a half ago. I liked the fact it was diferant from most not just having flat sides but instead having some flair to it. after watching it for a while the truck disapeared. a couple months later it reapeared and I quickly made contact with the owner. He pulled it back off ebay and myself and Slowdrive took a little raod trip. after getting there we found out the truck could not be driven home like the seller told me so we headed home empty handed. a week later a deal had been struck and transpertaion had been found

We put some primer on the spots of bare metal for the Winter but come Spring there were large chunks of paint falling off. So we started sanding and striping

As I got into the lower area where the actual cancer was I decided to extend the pannels another 6inches to make them even with the step & rear bumper. I thought this would give the truck a lower cleaner look.

I have also pulled the grill & rub rails and had it blasted and preped for Powder coating

Well thats as far as I made it this year. With work and trying to work on this outside it will be a slow go but hopfully worth it.

She still has the original Flat Head 6 with 21000 miles on it. Backed by a 3 on the tree. this combo will curently get her hurlling down hill at 60 mph.

I want to put some super singles on the rear to give it the Big & little look of a Hot rod LOL.

I found a place that will make the wheels but chrome or aluminum wont be cheep so I may powder them with yellow in the dish and a black lip or vica versa

I have started sanding on the roof now so i can get some paint up high, but it was raining yesturday and I got boared so I threw a set of rub rails on just to get a feal for how well the yellow was going to pop against the black.

It`s fine, they will only see one side at a time. Hey, it`s a rat, it`s not supposed to be perfect anyway.

What`s your logo look like? You got a picture?

@Hillbilly:
My bet is that it looks like a big metal box inside.
