My 47 Ford pickup is on the road!!!

[Chris]

A couple months back I purchased this 1947 Ford 1/2 ton pickup. It had sat since 1991. Shortly after I bought it, I bought a new house and have devoted nearly all my time to moving and getting my old house on the market. I have had little time to work on the ol green pickup. I did clean the fuel tank and run new fuel lines, rebuild the carb, GMC Bubba on here was very kind and rebuilt the distributor for me (Thanks again!!!), I went through the brakes running all new steel lines, re-wired it and put new tires on it.

It runs pretty good and everything works! I still need to do quite a bit of clean up, lube the chassis and put a new windshield and rubber in...but for the most part she is legal and safe. Lucy the hound and I took it for a maiden voyage to my Brother's and back, did flawless although seems a bit underpowered (even for a 6). Need to mess with the carb linkage and make sure it's getting fill throttle. But at least she lives on
