Just wanted to say hi to all you Ford Fanatics out there. I retired as a high school teacher after 35 years and then re-retired from being a dairy farmer after 10 years, now I'm building guitars. Over and above that part of my life, I'm the very proud owner of a pretty but tired 1949 F1 pick-up. She had a proud beginning with the original owner and then was given to his teenage son who, along with his buddies, put a 302 in her and proceeded to beat her, near to death, in the back woods of Northern Vermont. I had the chance to rescue her about 6 years ago during the dairy farm years. Needless to say, not much got done on her while I was farming, but since selling the farm, I have had a lot more time, but also a lot less money. I have put an original flat head motor back in her and got her running, but thats about all. I'm not looking for a show truck, just a well worn piece of Ford history to toot around town in. I'll look forward to any help you can offer as my project proceeds. Thanks in advance, Stampy p.s. I know this may sound trivial, but I'd sure like to find an original, well-worn and pitted "F" to help give my 1949 "ORD" pick-up some well deserved dignity.
