Default followed me home

Made the trip to Montana to purchase the Roadster pickup discussed in this thread last month http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200774 . Got him home and cleaned it up a little, looks much better now. The body is in decent shape with nothing rusted through. A look in the gas tank was a little disheartening though with a lot of rust, hopefully no holes. Plan on removing the tank and trying to clean it out and turning this into a driver after getting it running. It came with a title and the engine does turn over, two steps in the right direction in my thinking. The tank date is 8-8-28.

I love it! Reminds me of my 29 RPU in 1960, my first car. I still have it, 56 years. . .

Is the strap holding the fender or the bed on? Looks like a fun project.

TinCup The box and rear fenders are from a model t. There are fender braces under the fenders, so I'm not certain on the braces from the fender to the box. The box is bolted to a rectangular tube that is bolted to the frame, so my guess is it support for the fenders.

I took a tank like yours-dropped a garden hose in the top and flushed it for about 2 hours-amazing how much crud came out! then I taped a shop vac hose over the gas fill and "blew" dry the tank.
would guess that a full gallon of crap came out.
installed pencil filter and gas filter and was on my way.....................!

i hope the back end was full of money because you are going to need it if you plan to restore it. Wayne
