Wow, a lot of 1-tons out there. Mine's a 47 with a newer engine (1948 235) and newer paint (circa 1965 - brushed on, but has a nice distressed look), I redid the upholstery a few years ago along with the rear end gear (swapped the 5:12 for a 3:90). Now I'm looking to replace the split rims on the back and maybe someday tighten up the steering (except I know that'd take the challenge out of it). Sort of a daily driver. The forecast can't call for any rain with those toy vacuum wipers. Paid a farmer $500 for it because "it runs purrfect!" Then paid another $100 to have it towed out of his field. But I've never looked back!

Don't read the directions, that'd be too easy.
