wow, that is freakish. very cool.
my dad bought a '59 1/2 ton. he quit driving it and parked it in the yard where it sat for years? before I got my license. he SOLD it just a couple of years before I got my license. grrr. my uncle bought it, used it for a long while then it got parked on his inlaw's farm. it is probably still there but in really bad shape. couldn't be any worse than my 57 gmc was when I got it though.
that deck looks pretty solid. how will you make a car hauler, beavertail extension on the deck? rollers so the deck slides off like many tow units?
sounds like you're in for the long haul now.
