Roadside find!

I just returned from a 2 week vacation in Minnesota where there were many many old farm trucks were sitting along the roadside. Most of these trucks were the 58-59 models which aren't the most appealing to the eye if you haven't seen one(both Ford and Chevy). My dad made a trip up to a gas station up one of the many secluded roads near our cabin when he saw a truck that caught his eye. He knows how much I love the old vehicles so he came back and took me up to look. WHOOOAAA! I saw that truck and my jaw dropped. I said dad, thats no "old truck" thats a '40 Ford Pickup! If you don't know, these trucks are beautiful and becoming rarer every day. This was an all original car with minor dents and just surface rust. I knocked on the door and asked about the truck and he informed me that it was a South Dakota car(explaining its conditon) and that it was just sold on Ebay for $8,000(a good bit for a non-running surface rust car!). My heart dropped at any thought of pulling the wool over this guy's eyes. A good, fun find though anyway!

That's cool...I really like the old pickups!!! I want to get one and restore it, but I don't have the time, tools, space, or motivation.

Yea, tools and space can be a problem, and hopefully you'll gain some motivation. Once you do one car and see the end result,you become extremely motivated to do another, which turns into a disease...

yah those trucks can really thight when restored

Here's a pic of a truck I'm trying to convince my dad to help me pay for. 1958 Ford (http://www.countryclassiccars.com/trucks/2074_1.jpg)
