I knew it used to be his shop truck. And, I think, maybe, it was going to be the next one on his restoration list. (Or, maybe the Model A?) I'm glad for you, and congratulations on what you've done with the 36. G-Pa and I were pretty good friends, for about the last 25-plus years. I learned a lot from him, and we shared our outlook on the care and feeding of old Ford's/Merc's.
I think there were some things he had started on like the rear end and transmission but they had sat for a long time so I just went back through all of it. You are correct that it was next on his list and that motor, 8BA, was from the 40.
