From across the pond

[UK-Neil]

Hi fellas,

New to this board, I ended up here whilst looking for info on my 52 1/2 ton.
I'll drop in a couple of pictures.

I purchased stock 2 years ago from San Fran. Since then its had new suspension all round, new motor (the old L6 is going to live on in a buddys 41 Sedan Deluxe as it was non original anyway) trans etc.

next job is the windscreen and then onto the bed wood.

added some hubcaps:

and the motor (apologies to the resto guys)

Wellcome aboard Neil

Oh, England my Lion Hart !!

Hope the roads surfaces are better then in Norway Neil. Did you lowered your truck or did you installed air-suspension ? This is just one mighty fine peace of truck !

Speaking of the other Neil, we haven't seen a post from Brit50 in ages. Anyone heard what he is up to? UKNeil, great looking truck. Welcome to the forum!

That's a badass air filter you have there Neil. What brand is it?

 

[vwnate1]

'49 3100 f.s.

How much??

Your choice ~ $6K -or- teardown , de rust and re paint of my '69 C/10 , no mechanical works needed but careful re - assembly to as - is now condition as I plan to work it like a rented mule....

I'm sick of getting things back with any old screw in any old hole and original hardware discarded or mixed willy-nilly .

Serious here , I no longer need my '49 and I want to fix the '69 now before it rusts away .

I'm unsure, as it came with (actually on) the motor which I bought from over there. If you really really wanna know I have emailed the guy and asked, I'll let you know when I get a response.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
