The truck was in pretty good condition when I purchased it. I had to do lots of mechanical things to bring it up to drive safely. Bought lots of parts from The Filling Station to accomplish this.

The parking brake strut on the rear brakes. I had to fabricate my own from a piece of 1/4″ rod.

I own a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep, 1949 Ford Custom Coupe, 1955 Chev Bel Air Hardtop.

Really be dedicated to your project and realize before you get started that restoration is expensive.
