48 Ford F1 Resurrection Page



Last September(2007) I finished reading a book by Michael Perry, called "Truck a love story", which journels a year in the life of Michael, as he and his brother-in-law rebuild his 1951 International Harvester Pickup. My wife had read the book, and thought I'd enjoy it. Thebook was great in many ways. First it motivated my wife to work in the garden with me, which she enjoys in short spurts! Secondly she said to me after I finished the book, " now if you wanted to restore an old truck, that would be something I'd support" Words I'm sure she must regret now that I actually doing this. I immediately got on the internet and went to craigslist. I found a 1948 Ford truck in good shape, that had been started into a hot rod project. It had a 1971 Lincoln 429 engine, and Ford c-6 transmission already installed. Mel the man I would end up buying this truck from, had purchased it as is, 7 years earlier from the original hot rod conversion guy. The truck was running when he bought it, but had since sat for seven years, and now wouldn't start.


So the story begins!

The Nissan body parts never did give names to their cars, instead consistently using letters and numbers to designate the

coupes, sedans and the SUVs. With the Nissan body parts Q45 being the flagship sedan, the Mini Cooper auto parts

found its place in the American market.The Nissan body parts never did give names to their cars,instead consistently
