Ok, you asked for pics and information. I don't really want to barrage you with lots and lots of pics and status info, so I'll refer you to
the thread about this truck on my own forum - for 1980 - 86 Ford trucks.
The short story is that my wife's cousin said he had my next project - a 1950 Chevy pickup that he and his brothers drove into a field and parked when the brakes went out. My wife thought I was crazy until it was pointed out that this pickup was the maintenance man's truck at their highschool and all the class officers had they picture taken with the truck.
So I pulled it out of the field and discovered that the sheetmetal is rusted, the block is cracked, there were 3 different sizes of wheels on it, etc. So it sat behind my shop - until my grandson spotted it. He asked if he could wash it, and things escalated from there. Now we have a project we can work on when he visits, which he plans to do in July.
And in that visit we plan to "install" the 235 and start it. Probably no radiator and we'll just use a garden hose. No gas tank but well use a gas can. And no muffler as it didn't come with one.
Here are a couple of pics, but there are lots more in the thread on my forum. (I"m assuming that when I post the two pics in the Attachment Manager will be attached?)
