Howdy all! Located a couple hours of north of Sacramento, this is what brought me here-

First project of this type, this looks to be the place to learn about it.

Lots of plans... lol. Big block, reinforced frame, rear subframe/ifs & bags. I'm concerned about the rust, I may just leave the body as is if it's too bad to fix. It all appears to be surface rust though, I haven't found any rot yet, it's pretty solid. It's been sitting on the hubs for as long as I can remember, but I like the 8 lug setup, I may try to keep that. That means it's a 3/4 ton truck? This place looks to be a good source of info, glad I found this place.

What is up with the one behind it with the stack? on the side? And what is that to the left of it?

Welcome from FT Worth TX.

rust_to_rust · 06-08-2009, 01:28 AM

thanks for all the welcomes.
There's a bunch of model t's & parts/partial bodies for model t's on the property. The one to the side in that picture is a 4 door w/ some sort of convertible top.

He's got a couple of 6x6/dual rear axle t's, this one is a dump bed.

The owner of the property is only keeping one of the model t's, a 2 door + rumble seat he wants to build on. He said he wants to get everything else together and possibly trade the lot for a buildable '70 Challenger or something.
Pics from getting it out of the dirt today... should probably start a build thread here pretty soon.

Nice...You don't see things like that on properties around here where I live. The towns, cities, and counties all have abandoned vehicle codes, if it's older than 4 years old it has to run or they tow it away at your expense! It sucks!
