hey guys my grandpa has 2 ****** pickups. a 50 and a 51. we got one running last year and never attempted the other yet but the frames on both are pretty rotted and they're gonna need some engine work too, but he wants to restore them. i was wondering if anyone knew where to find parts for them? he said if the other one doesnt run then we'll just put a ford 289 in it. the one we got running runs pretty darn good for sitting for over 20 years

any help will be greatly appreciated

 

One of the things I miss about the older cars, are the vacuum wiper motors.
Nice lookin sleds
That will be a big project!

 

i like those little trucks. they had such small 4 cylinder engines but they had like 5.23 gears or something like that and they'd still pull a house down. that one in the picture is actually what the trucks looked like back in the day except they are arent as high off the ground. is that one yours? nice lookin truck

 

No it's not mine, i did a web search after reading you thread/post. I know where a couple of old ****** jeeps are, and just wanted to see what you were lookinf for. They had some cool cars, do a ****** image search

 

oh ok. yea i did an image search earlier to get an idea of what the trucks looked like back in the day. i just need to know who sells parts for them. i heard theres a place in new jersey that has nothin but ****** parts but i dont know the name or which part of jersey. i'll check out hemmings to see if they list something. thanks

 

I can't help you out with the parts issue, but I have always liked the body style of these trucks. Maybe because when I was a kid, my neighbor's Dad had one with a snow plow and took me along a few times when he plowed. I wish you the best with the restore!

 

Google ****** truck parts, there are quite a few hits.

 

yea i just found 1. it looks like it'll have most of the parts we'll need. thanks

yea, my grandpa used these for snowplowing too. i hope he gives me one of them. he was giving them both to me about 4 years ago but i had no way of getting them home. well now he wants to restore them. i hope it all works out alright. thanks
