New guy here who's been lurking and reading for a while...and figured since I love reading so much, time to sign up!!
It seems that we are finally ready to spend some time restoring a late 40's truck, and found a complete frame and running gear off a '49. This was/is someone's leftovers from going to an S10 frame, and I/we, would like to see about saving it, and putting back together as a '49!!!
I have seen various parts floating around for sale in the past (hoods, cabs, fenders...etc) so figured getting a complete frame and running gear might be a good way to start. I did find a complete front end, but seems it is promised to another fella.
I would rather have found a running truck we could drive and restore, but being a a family man, I've got a budget to work in, and up here such a find would cost me a lot more than I am ready to spend right now. I am fine with that...rather be tinkering on this frame, and restore the frame while we look for a cab, vs, waiting another year or two before we start doing anything.
So...what do you think? This sound OK, or am I making a mistake??
