Very unique & worth saving if it's a factory piece ... strange things come out of the forest!!

Looking good Tony. Nice ride & shape for a northern truck. What's the plan??

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks... I found it in AZ when I was in the USAF... was a DPW truck in NM at some point... the paint under the green is school bus yellow, and the body work is definitely high-school shop class freshman quality.

No plans to paint it, but I'm waffling between a M-II IFS and a 3" straight-axle drop right now. Took out 3 of 6 leaves in front, 4 of 8 in back.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Caveman Tony,
nice truck you got going...
i too have 3 of the front 6 leaf's pulled, and i have a 3" dropped axle from Sid at www.droppedaxles.com

Truck is looking GOOD!!!! My wife digs the part that you have been working on it for 11 years because i constantly bug her for more money to get mine finished faster.:lol:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Great looking truck! I noticed the absence of a radiator cover. What are you using as a hood latch?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks...Old pic. Here is one that shows my radiator panel. I have an aftermarket latch mounted to the underside. I went with a very minimal approach.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Your truck is outstanding. The paint and fit and finish make it look like a hundred thousand dollar project. I have one question. Those rubber bumpers,where did you get them and are they also for a 54? Keep up the good work. As far as the time spent, I have receipts from 1989 it's just how it goes sometimes.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks for the kind words...(I assume you were referring to my truck). Yes it all takes time. This was my first attempt at working with vintage steel and I'm just an average guy with self taught abilities and a modiest budget. It shows what it possible if you stay the course....

The rubber hood bumpers are standard for 47-54. He is a link to a source.
