    Ford truck

    Call me crazy, but I think I want my next project to be a 1938-1942 Ford Cabover. Anyone sees one in a field somewhere give me a shout.

    I want to build something like this:

    oldguy-

    Looks like a bull dog (or maybe a pug or pekingnese) cabover! Pretty funky design! You will have to let us know if you get the project started and how it progresses...

    Regards,

    Steve

    Before it looks like that, it probably will look like this:

    I was wondering where the rest of the front end was. Never seen one of those before.

    I had never seen one of those cab overs in a pick-up before your post.
    Those are so cool!

    Good luck in finding one. A buddy just finished restoring a '50 Chevy PU, basically stock. All cool toys

    I have to confess that I sometimes watch "Storage Wars" and this little honey has been driven in by Barry Weiss a couple of times.This bug bites as hard as the FFR bug!

    Just think of the possibilities with a crew cab...

    Oldguy,
    That would be one of the coolest ever haulers for an FFR. I saw a picture of one of these about a month ago and it's the first one I ever saw I think. That's weird! WEK.

    Just the front fenders on that REO weigh as much as an entire FFR roadster! And, yes, I did buy a 1950 sled but it ended up getting shipped back to the dealer in Tennessee because it was not even close to the condition that they represented. I ended up eating one-way shipping but I learned a valuable lesson.
