46 Ford P.U.198 viewsThis is what I started with a 1946 Ford 1 1/2 ton flat bed truck. The truck was driven untill 1998 when it was stripped for re-paint and then was never finished. My freind bought it for the engine and transmission, and gave me the rest. And thats when I came up with the idea to use the original frame to build my old time hot rod truck.
