1951 f-5, $1000

[fatherdoug]

Anyone interested?(Tim?) I don't know anything about it. I just found it on an auction site in Miles City, MT.

Dang that's awesome!

 

[fatherdoug]

Looks like the patina got clear coated at some point?

Those are split wheels, but fairly new tires.
I have them on my 88 IH rollback

Clean truck. My bet it probably is restored, or well taken care of. Nice find

That looks very nice Doug ...... i'm sure if you thought long and hard enough you'd be able to find a justification for buying that

Probably a 292 Y block in it? I need that like I need a(nother) hole in my head but dang. And it's close to me

 

[dustybumpers]

Would still be a flat head if it's stock. 292 hit the trucks in 53

Indeed... I was thinking it said '55 for some reason. Grille had me confused though

 

[fatherdoug]

Picture of the engine on the website also didn't show the exhaust header going across the front of the engine. That was quite handy.........

 

[dustybumpers]

Lol, yeah. True 292. Fatties only had 3 exits on the sides too if you look at that.
Grill is similar 48-55 with the bump out teeth.

That is still a god looking truck tho

Here is the link, Tim. Looks like it was auctioned today.

 

[SuperCab]

High bid is only $850 with 53 minutes to go... if only I had a place to put it

 

[dustybumpers]

Keep it at Doug's!!!!

A salesman would call that clearcoat patina.

 

[Blue-Truck-Nut97]

Hahahaha, I ain't a good salesman. And my junkpile attests to that.

It's never a junk pile...it's stuff that is stored for later that might be useful

 

[Blue-Truck-Nut97]

Indeed. Junk is an affectionate term in my circle, just to clarify.

One man's trash is another man's treasure....

I'm the "another" guy
