1951 FORD PICKUP

I have owned the truck for 23 years, nd it has served me well. I have always wanted to make it into a cool Street Rod. To that end I have installed the items listed below. I have thought many times about doing the body, nd paint thing, ut never got around to it, nd everywhere I go people say “WOW, hat a cool truck,” and when I mention spiffing it up, hey say “OH MAN’ don’t do that, t looks great with that original patina.”

My dear Wife calculated that I would need to live to be 120 YRS old to finish all my projects, o the truck, nd some other projects, ust go. L I have accumulated LOTS of parts for this truck, hich are listed below.

IMPORTANT!!!

There is some “Bondo” on the right rear fender, The Door Glass, nd Back Glass have cracks, nd NEED TO BE REPLACED. The left door has a crease thanks to a suicidal Texas deer, ho also left his (final) imprint in the left rear fender. See “Extra Stuff” below.
