Default My wife likes my little truck

Mother and I have drove this little truck Manny miles on tours. It has a high speed rear end 3:54 but 3:25 would be better. It has a 39 front end to make it steer very nice. Also juice brakes. I know it will be a Dearborn truck but wasn't built for that. I guess each as his own. The steering is like power steering in the little truck. The engine is a 37 with inserts.Mother says we won't sell the truck its a keeper.

That's a veteran move right there, agreeing with Mama. Great looking truck.

Nice looking pickup. Kinda reminds me of my wife and I. We bought a 37 about 7 months ago and had it shipped back from Delaware. We've been going to a lot of local winery's and a few cruise-in's and it gets a lot of attention. It's not really a good highway driver but it serves the purpose.

An acquaintance of mine and his wife were approaching their 50th Anniversary and when he asked what she wanted, it was a 35 Ford pickup. He built her one. I never saw it in person but the pictures showed a beautiful pickup. We used to see each other each year at the FMRCA meet in the Belleville area near Detroit. I haven't been in several years, now.

It is a beautiful truck and even more so when your spouse supports you. Best of luck.

Had the truck about 6 years and the wife 57 years. She boss and very good to me. We love to tour in our Junkers as Dad use to say. Mother paid for this junker that in the shed. She hasn't rode in it yet. It need the front end rebuilt It has a death wobble which I don't like. It will be some time before its on the road. That ok as long as it in the shed. Winter work. Going to park it beside the little truck this winter.

I like my wife's little truck. She lets me drive it.
Daughters also enjoy the attention it brings. Maybe it is not just the truck?

Good looking truck and good looking couple. I have a NOS 35 V8 grill ornament if you are interested, $55.00 plus the ride.
