James' 1946 Chev

After purchasing a gas station and repair garage outside Seattle, we thought it would be a great idea to have an old truck to advertise. We searched high and low and came across this lady in Spokane, about 350 miles away. Talked to the man who had owned it since 1955, and he said that it was in good shape, and that after all these years he figured it was time to part with her. I ventured out to see if it was worth it, and bought it at a fair price. Jumped behind the wheel, gassed her up, and drove all the way home, over 2 mountain passes in 100 dgree weather, and delivered her to her new home without a single problem, not even any oil used!

The plan for her is to repaint the truck to match Union 76 paint colors, put our logo on the doors, and have a little fun driving the old girl. While the engine is in fine shape, the old 4-speed has to go. We will make it a little easier for the beginner by adding a synchro'd 3 speed attached to the existing 235 6cyl. No other modifications will be made, other than a few cosmetic touches to the bed and a general clean up. Hopefully all of this will be done around Christmas of this year. If it is, I will keep you posted!

1938 Ford / Seagrave Fire Truck

Resim
Todd's 1938 Ford / Seagrave Fire Truck This is a 1938 Ford / Seagrave Fire Truck. Acquired in October of 2000, our family uses this great truck for many parades and fire musters throughout the year. It has the standard V8 85 h.p. Ford flathead engine, and is equipped with a 500 gallon per minute pump. As you can see, its restoration is nearly complete!

1957 Ford

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

1957 Dodge

Ben's 1957 Dodge My diamond in the rough. This is my 57 Dodge D100. When my wife and I were expecting She turned to me and said If you ever want another toy, you'd better get one now In less than a month I rounded up this beauty. It is a very solid all metal truck, it sports a very healthy 383 and 727 combo that has no trouble getting me into trouble. I certified it within the first week and drive it when I'm not modifying it. I am having the camero clip done at mountain auto body as we speak and then its on to the body after I round up the rest of the parts for the box. It was a flat bed but now has a 51 box minus a 48" x 22" tail gate that I haven't been able to track down. I'm going to paint it amber fire pearl as seen on the Dodge Dakota's and RT's. The truck is a blast to drive and the fun part is I have yet to meet another one on the road. With the exception of a 56 Fargo with a 57 nose piece at mopar fest in Cambridge Ontaio Canada, 2½ hours
