Not for nothing: I love your truck and you did an awesome job restoring it, thanks for sharing.

The only thing is I'm weird I loved all of the rust and old paint. It really had character. Maybe I'm just old, lots of rust and loose parts. Hope someone fixes me up one day. :worship:
CONSISTENCY!!!!!! It's only a good thing if you're not a screw up.

Took the Kit out today with the Chevy. Tows nice. Thought this old house would look good as a backdrop.

looking good, i decided to buy a classic truck to pull my trailers when not using the 49 chevy, i bought a 69 ford F 100 full restoration with a big block 429 should pull the trailers with no issues :lol: :lol:

I LOVE your AD pickup, prohandyman! I just recently sold a '55F 1-Ton panel van to a friend, and he's working on getting it on the road. I'm trying to talk him out of a couple of his vintage trucks (a '41 Chevy panel van and a '27 Model T Flatbed,) but no such luck so far...

I'm doing the upholstery on his T so I still have a chance of talking him into selling it to me... We'll see...
