Thanks, She's fairly straight. I did find a few more rust spots but they're all small. We'll see how big each one gets when it's time to start cutting. The biggest body damage is the front splash pan where it looks as though a cow stepped in it. like the grandson told me. it's never been in an accident, except for the cows. The drivers side rear fender has cow dents that ought to pop out easily enough. The other grandson told me that Grandfather parked under a tree and got another truck because it had an engine noise. But he did believe the odometer was correct.
I got the front up out of the mud today. It broke my heart to see the labels still stuck on the bottom of those rotten tires. Luckily there were the 2 new ones in the back. Towards the end of the day, the pasture was finally solid enough to drive right down to her from the road.
I ran out of daylight before I could get the drivers side brake drum free. It was buried the deepest of all, so there may be major rust. The I-beam still has about 3 inches of dirt on top of it and there is a rust colored hue down in the imprint of the I-beam. I'll have to see how it cleans up. In the unlikely event that it's the same as a 1938 I have two extras already.
