couldnt help myself!

[BUSTEDKNUCKLE]

Well today it starts again. I am helping my friend build what we believe to be a 1946 IH, the body is near perfect. I will post pics later. But thats not the reason I said I coulnt help myself. I went to by some straw at my local feed store and the guy behind the counter ask me ( Hey would you be interested in a old chevy truck ?) I said I dont know, what do you have? He told me its behind the store take a look. I walked around back and there sits a 1939 1 1/2 ton truck in really good condition. I walked back in to the store, I asked what do you want for it? He said its yours, but you have to get it out of here by Sunday. I said no problem I will pick it up. And the price FREE. I will post pics later. I guess my Viper will have to sit this one out. Rats are way more fun!

More cost efficient too

Much better than selling for scrap, glad to see you got it, and got a deal too.

 

[hotrod preacher]

great story and great find! but if you decide you don't want to mess with an old, rusty, out of date truck, i would be willing to give you your money back on that one!!!!! just messin' with ya..no seriously....lookin forward to pics!!

 

[Bonehead]

Okay I'll double what you paid for it.

Looks like the project found you, and the price is certainly right !!
Congratulations on the new project....
I would think the Viper would be tough to ignore '22

Sweet deal Bustedknuckle! Congrats on the truck! It's always good to hear that there are still some generous people out there. The old truck looks to be in great shape.

thats a sweet deal and yes it does look to be in good shape, on the year i am guessing its not a 39 but a 42 to 46 , thats just my guess...p-rat

YEAR

I think your right, its probably 1946. Oh one more thing as I was leaving the feed store a guy passed me and then stopped, he got out of his truck and walked upped and said hey, thats the truck I used to own do you want the pink for it. WOW what a day. I drove to the old mans house and he gave me all the paper work on it. I should have played lotto this weekend.
