Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups
Thanks so much for this Merc! That is a thing of beauty! I like that high stance with that heavy MH gear. My contraption is kind of hard to get in and out of even though it sits maybe 4" lower....

Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups
All of the old trucks I have owned with original paint have their paint worn off of the top of the door where the driver's arm hangs out. I still drive like that as most of my junkers don't have turn...
