Cool. My sister inherited a 25-27 model TT truck (Ford Ton Truck, basically a model T with closed cab and stake bed.) I amd currently in the process of putting it back together. They are very interesting machines. I look forward to driving the kids in parades while they are still young.

Good deal! It sounds like a heck of a project, but will be worth it in the end. Good luck with it! :thumbsup:

I learned to drive (in about '77) in my Dad's '59 Ford pickup. Straight 6, 3-on-the-tree, stepside. Brings back a lot of memories. I was the only one of my gang to have my license at that time. I used to pick up my buddies, 2 in the cab and 3 or 4 more in the back, and go cruising and raising hell!

I also had a '70 International pickup a few years later named "Bruno".

Old trucks are cool! Good luck with you project!

Much respect to you if you keep it stock. Everybody gets something and "upgrades" it. Flatheads and straight sixes are getting as rare as a real COPO car.
