Back in the early 90's my grandfather I recently picked up my first "restoration" project. It's a Canadian Model 1314, 1950, 1/2 ton, stepside pickup. Looked to be a pretty complete truck when I went to see it. Factory Red with white stripe, no heater (from factory), Grey interior, maroon door panels and seat. It was purchased at McKenzie Motors in Alberta, Canada. It made it's way to Saskatchewan at some point, and I picked it up outside Kindersley, SK. The factory 216 is in the truck, it was seized when I bought it.
Now that I have it home in the garage and started to tear into it, there is a little more rust than expected! And the engine was the reason it was parked.
I have stripped the interior, and will be doing some rust repairs on the floor. I have the engine all ready to come out of the truck, and have started to look for a replacement. Hoping to keep an inliner in it! If you know of one in the Saskatoon region, let me know.
Looking forward to getting this truck back on the road, and doing truck things. Won't be a show truck, but will be great to get it driving again.
