Default The restoration - 1935 Ford model 51, 1-1/2 ton farm truck

I plan to post the build progress, mostly in pictures as I attempt a frame-up restoration of this truck. I am fortunate that the truck is mostly there, and in good shape.
I have some spare parts- if anyone needs a carb, distributor or fuel pump, let me know. I have a spare 85hp flathead, but won't have it available til I can analyze the one in the truck, and look at the other.
I was able to get the truck running the same weekend I brought it home. I was told it wasn't known how long it had been since the truck ran (the owner passed away).
It was a matter of fixing the distributor and some wiring issues, and reversed battery.
The truck won't drive, because the clutch won't disengage, so I am in the process of changing the clutch. I plan to get that back together so that I can move it around, and probably store it for the winter. I have many projects going, so this will be a longer process. I live in Minnesota, and have limited heated indoor space, so it may be a little of a `seasonal' project as well.
I will post pictures as I go. I will start with a few `before' photos. I will post a few clutch / transmission removal ones as well.
