Default My New Ford Barn Find!

a friend called me yesterday and said he knew a guy not far from me who had an old ford truck in the barn he would like to sell due to moving south.i knew the barn cause i pass it on way into town sometimes.never knew the farm had any equipt or trucks around cause i never seen nobody around there in 20-25yrs. anyway,i showed up to meet the older gent and this is what i found and ended up coming home with a really nice old truck.

Very nice find!! If it were mine, I would keep it just as found on the exterior, but restore the mechanicals for safe driving on todays roads. Keep us posted on your progress with this.truck.

Ditto what everyone has said, plus this is a real barn find. No faux barn find here.

I kept looking at it and thinking it was sittin' , in the words of Bob Seeger 'way up firm and high'. I thought "this guy didn't stumble onto a MH conversion.... or did he?" That is a really great find, my hardy congratulations on that one. Holly COW!
