Default Re: 1936 Ford pickup restoration

If you haven't gotten into it too much, I would drive it just as is. It will get more attention if original.

I would paint the frame if it were mine. Powder coating fills up holes that will have to be individaully filed to remove excess powdr coating before you can get bolts to go through them.

Keep the metal bed and floor. I would assume the wood under the bed is good, based on looking at the one picture of the truck. Sand the wood sub bloor to freshen it up if you want to. It was not painted originally.
