When I went on your website and viewed your gallery of "Farm Finds" I just had to send you my beauty! After I looked at all the other old rusty trucks sitting in fields, I didn't feel so bad. This will be my first restoration project ever! With the help of my husband and father, we plan on getting this baby on the road hopefully in the next 5-10 years! I recently emailed Ford Canada and requested some historical information on this truck, and they will be sending something to me soon (just to see what this truck looked like in the "good old days". This poor old truck has been sitting in my parents field at the farm for as long as I can remember (I'm 29 years old). I finally took the initiative and asked my father if I could have it and fix it up. Now the trouble to try to get the ownership in my name! No one remembers who the previous owner was (probably dead) so I go on a hunt to get it in my name! Wish me luck. Debbie
Here are a couple pics of my ol' '50 Ford 1/2 ton. I've had it since 1971 ($150) and I've driven the heck out of it. Either traveling around the West with my camper, hauling firewood, going to bluegrass festivals or just commuting to work from Crestline to San Bernardino. In 1989, I finally retired my old friend and started a long process of transformation into a street rod. I had no intention of ever doing this much in the first place. I bought a copy of Classic Truck magazine and I got the bug. I went to metal everywhere. I went to swap meets. I went to shows. I went to paint shops. I went to parts houses. And lets not forget wrecking yards. I finally got done this summer and now I can actually drive it. Oh ya!

Serge's 1950 Dodge After five years of blood, sweat, and tears I've completely restored, this ¾ ton, 1950 Dodge, B-2-C truck from the frame on up to it's original beauty. With the aid of many Dodge truck restoring enthusiasts on the internet, internet junkyards, and support from my family this project ended a fruitful journey. The truck is a local hometown vehicle since day one and I'm the third owner. My advise to future truck restorers: Initial Purchase Price = $1,500.00 Restoration Costs = $12,000.00 Driving her on Tennessee back roads listening to Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Bill Hailey = Priceless
