What do you guys think about cherrying out a 57 ford; install a nice oak flat bed with ss strips and removable sides, new paint, a motor with a little rumble to it, some attractive graphics and to be used as a novelty item for your biz; maybe used just cruz to give estimates?
I can get one that has been in a garage for over 5 years for 2k and it runs! It has its original motor but you have to add lead to the gas. It will need at least 10-15k worth of work; body work, floor boards, new crate motor/tranny, brakes, etc.. I was also thinking, what if I could just reuse the body and mount it on something more modern. Anybody have a clue what frame would matchup with minimal work?
Once I go FT I'll park that sucker out front,, on the grass! sideways, with the bed 1/2way in the dump mode.
