I have a 1945 ford pickup that I have lost interest in It. It runs and drives in fact I have put on about 1000 miles since I have owned it. I have owned it for about 8 years or so. Would love some advice of what to do with it. I know this sounds crazy but all true. Needs some TLC . Thinking I would like a 61- 66. P/U. Any advice would be appreciated

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Welcome.


Why havnt you put many miles on it? What sort of vehicular fun do you enjoy most? Speed.. burnouts.. offroad?

like the truck, it’s time for something different. All I do is cruise around. Is it worth anything because its a 45? No one can answer that. I believe only a little over 300 made. Need some direction.

What's the worst that could happen?
Are you thinking of selling this truck and then looking for a replacement or are you just looking for a another toy to play with?
Would really like to see more pics when you have time -- especially if you plan to sell it ;) .

Personally I really like the mid-60s flaresides like this one:

However, your current truck "ain't too shabby!"

Almost forgot --- Welcome to TRS.

90 is some quaint little road that goes from Boston to Seattle.

Here as some pictures that I have. I am not at the location where the truck is. It’s not a a bad truck at all , but needs some TLC. Mostly electrical. The motor starts and runs well . Love the old flatheads.
