You think that Truck can be a "money Pit". Wait till you and Moss Motors or one of the NOS suppliers for Triumphs get to know each other by first names.
Fun project for sure! Top will act like a strainer in the rain, only pure filtered water will get to you. You'll get a crick in your neck from looking up at Ford trucks to see if it's anyone you recognize, and hoping they didn't see you.
Good luck, I'm starting on an Austin-Healey 3000 this winter.

not sure of the whole history....i bought it from a guy who had it in his garage for 6 or so years and he bought it from a guy in NH.
It is in pretty good shape though and looks to have been undercoated, I am planning a full body off restoration but am going to look at the entire thing first.......it'll be fun...

Peacemaker,
What I'm finding out is its not a real expensive car and you'll never make money on it...I like it because its small and i can fit it in my one car garage and still have room to work on it......most people that restore these things do it for love...same as with our trucks......I'm not even sure what I'm going to do with it yet, maybe my daughter will get it in a few years....I just wanted a little something to have in my garage to tinker with.....I'll bring it home next weekend lift the body off the frame and see whats up..
