Purchasing


I purchased the 1951 Ford F3 after looking at lots of 51-55 Ford and Chevy pickups.  This one was not running when I bought it.  Also the tires were flat but held air when I inflated them. Here are the original pictures. 




It is is pretty good shape for a 62 year old truck.  someone has already done some body work on it.  Also you can see the brush bard on the front bumper and the wrap around rear bumper.  I heard that the original owner was a farmer and welder and he made the brush bard and the rear bumper.  Still trying to verify that the bumper was not original as it looks so good.  I found a mechanic in Sonoita Arizona (Dumont Family Auto) that works on old farm equipment and autos.  Kevin fixes things so he is the perfect person to help me get this beast running.

I rented a flat bed and took the truck the 30 miles to Sonoita.
