Default Re: New guy, old truck.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am absolutely gonna keep it as original as practical..

The truck was out of Ty Cobb's hometown of Royston, GA and spent its life on a farm there. I'm actually the third owner as the guy I bought it from purchased it from the widow of the original owner 2 years ago. He had plans to put the body on a 4x4 chassis he had. Mercifully the only thing he did was renew the seat cover and simple kept it in his garage.

I plan to just get the mechanicals up to spec and preserve it as is.. I looked for 5 years or better to find a decent original. If I had a nickel for every half-baked project I saw... I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
