another FNG (gal)
Hi all,
recently purchased a '36 pickup project and I want to get in contact with Oldgold360 to see about purchasing one of his crank hole repairs. I see that he has two left as of today, but I am unable to reply to his thread and I can't pm him until I have at least 10 posts....so here is my first one. Happy to be here and am super excited to get started on my project. I dont have it drug home yet, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks Julie |

Re: another FNG (gal)
Welcome, good looking truck you have there...hopefully old gold will see you want one and reserve one for you. You've only got 9 more posts to go and you'll be able to pm him. Just post 9 more photos individually and you'll be there...and we all love photos

Re: another FNG (gal)
Thank you for giving him a shout. I was hoping someone would do that. It is beautiful outside today. Unfortunately I am at work for a few more hours.

You're missing the Super Bowl? I've seen every SB over played.

Re: another FNG (gal)
That's a nice looking PU! Thanks to Pete Hoovie for enlarging. Certainly being in CO you must be a Broncos fan. I watched the Puppy bowl the other day. It was better than a few Super Bowls I've seen. So what's your long term plan for your new PU?

Re: another FNG (gal)
Long term plan is to make it driveable. Lol. More specifically, i plan on leaving it fairly stock. Not gonna hot rod it at least for now. Keep the flathead. Will want to upgrade to hydraulic brakes. Unsure if i will keep stock rearend and transmission, but i would like the appearance to remain originalish. I dont have a plan of action yet, hopefully when i get it home and do a better assessment of it, i will figure out if i want to tear it all down right away, or just get it running/driving. Glass need replaced, body and fenders could use some attention. I dont intend it to ever be a show truck, just something cool and fun to putt around in. Hopefully i didnt bite off more than i can chew.

Yes, please, on the crank hole repair. I think i read where you didnt have any more bars available and possible werent going to make any more. BUT..if you are ever inclined to produced them again i for sure want 2 or 3 bars. And the crank hole repair for certain. I can send you a check, just give me your contact info. I am obviously in no rush, but i wanted to jump on it before everything was spoken for. I know its just a little side gig that you are doing, but wow was i glad to see that you were making this stuff. I appreciate you getting in touch. Thanks Julie Josh |

Re: another FNG (gal)
J,
You done come to the right place. these guys know their stuff. Lawson has a '35 that he built. I have a tired '39 that is too much fun to mess with. My view is to not take it apart for at least a year. Get it safe and running and DRIVE. Merge with the pick-up. It will tell you what it needs. What is its name? |

Re: another FNG (gal)
Wonderful patina on your truck, Julie. As others have said, make it safe and drive it for a while. You won't regret it!

Re: another FNG (gal)
Hi Julie, welcome to the Fordbarn. Your '36 pu looks to be in pretty solid condition, and should make a great driver. I agree with Clem, don't take it completely apart and go thru a long restoration. Instead, get it mechanically sound and safe to drive, and just make the interior and exterior cosmetically presentable to suit your own personal likings. If/when you need some parts, put an ad in the "wanted" section. Some of us who post here may what you need in our stash of parts. You'll get a lot of good help from folks who post here.
