Almost a year since I picked up my '06 F-150, I was ready for another truck. I have been eyeing up a truck that was about a mile down the road from the house. He was looking for a grass cutting garden tractor and I might have 5 .... or 20 of those laying around. Arrived home on Friday after work and found this in my yard!
1947 Ford 1.5 Ton with a stake bed. Bed tilts too, well it should anyways. (:
(no worries, cutting grass later today)

Started working on it yesterday. Finally got spark. It has a dual ignition system and the points were stuck.

Should be fun and keep me busy this summer. Plenty to learn about 1940s technology.
