The Ford Barn

I picked up this truck for my Dad. We built a 1949 f1 when I was a kid had to sell due to needing better family vehicle. So this was a surprise payback

My Pop's old gray 52 F3 liked to rust in the stake pockets. That old truck could pull like a tractor. We hauled a great big water tank for winter pasture and we used it to trade bulls with a custom made stock rack that my older brother made for the bed. My Pop sold it just before he died. I wish he would have kept it but it wasn't to be. I didn't have any place to put it and I didn't want to drive it to Texas. It wasn't the fastest old truck with the old gear grinder 4-speed. The guy that bought it drove away with it running like a champ back in 2010. I learned to double clutch in that old truck. I got so good with it that I'd rarely grind a gear.
