1950 Ford



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!

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
