I've been building this 1946 Ford 1 Ton for a while and figure it's time to share.
It is Powered by a LD28 with a 5 speed manual.
I flipped the frame to lower it a lot.
I still need;
Brakes
Steering
Seats
Floor
Controls lights. Let me know what you think.

Problem with being retired is that you never get a day off.

It's wild to look at my last posts and see how far i've come on the truck.
Here is how it sits now. Drive-able, but needs some minor suspension tweaks.
Runs great, other than a starvation for fuel once and a while.. Thoughts?
let me know what you guys think!

Looks good. And, with all that black smoke it can produce even better.
Fuel starvation ,,,,,, usual suspects......plugged filter, sucking air someplace .
