Thirty years ago I built a 46 for the local Veterinarian at the time. A young man came by almost daily to watch the progress and said the art deco truck was his favorite of all time and he wished he could have one just like the one being built. Thirty years later the Vet has retired and the now grown man bought the truck from him. The truck was NOT a trailer queen as can be seen by the worn running board, a few rust flakes, and weathered bed boards but is still presentable for being painted with enamel paint and used on country roads. Note the vinyl headliner still looks good and before anybody asks; I have no idea what gas tank I used so the fill is on the drivers side and the tank is inside the frame. Maybe one tank from a dual tank Ford pickup.

Thanks Evan for sharing that.
That truck sure is good looking no matter how old the paint is.

Yep, Bill, V8/auto/ac/pb/ps.Used a MustangII ifs before you could buy an after market kit; you had to actually go to a junkyard and cut the front out from under the car. Preferred the Pinto which is identical except the angle on the strut rods which fits better on most frames. The new kits do away with the strut rod. I think Mustang II just sounded sexier than saying you had a Pinto front end.

Better a Pinto front end than a Pinto back end.
