Re: my 49
That project would wear out a few wire brushes, huh? Love it! But pretty sure a good media blast would be easier on the elbows... Good luck with it!

Bullet holes and all...
Is it a 1/2 ton or 3/4? I like the "Do not touch" written on that blue truck! |

Re: my 49
That cross bar looks kinda light to me. Sure it does not need some bracing, lot to depend on just a weld to hold in place.

Re: my 49
LOve the look of your "idea" truck. Do you think that was done to it? I just bought a 49, but it doesn't have a natural patina, so it wil have to get a "fake" one. Been looking for ideas and getting info.

Looks kinda like mine when I started. And I just finished the MII in my '48, and a 283. It is cool, and rides real fine. |
