Hi folks, Just found this site a couple of days ago and as I'm just getting restarted on a 38 1/2 ton project and thought it would be beneficial to join up. This is a freebee that I got from my father-in-law probably 25 years ago. Tore it apart and rebuilt the back 1/2 of the rusty frame back then but ran out of steam on it rather quickly, so it languished in the garage and then in the yard since.(Got kicked out of the garage back in 07 when I started work on a Cobra replica) Now that the Cobra has been finished for quite a few years and I'm retired and in need of something to work on I've gotten started on the truck again. As weather here in New England this time of year is not to good for working in a tent garage where the truck presently resides I've been working on the doors and hinges in the basement workshop. So far I've made 4 new hinge halves that bolt to the cab and reconditioned the door halves. Then welded patch panels on the bottom of both doors and am in the process of getting them ready for paint. Probably shouldn't admit this but I've been pretty much a FORD guy most of my life so I'm sure I will need plenty of help when it comes time to put the old girl back together.
