This is what it looks like today. I put a good front clip on it an got it running. Still looking for a tailgate to complete the truck.

Looks like he put air in the tires. LOL

That is what I was thinking.

He washed it, aired up the tires, add fresh fuel, file the points and start driving it.

Yeah, I put air in the rear tires almost a year ago and they are still holding.

So far, all I have been able to get done on it is:

Replaced the bib/fenders
Cleaned out the mouse nest
Stripped and sandblasted the seat frames
Put gas in the carb and fired it, (Ran great but not sure about the longevity of the rod and main bearings due to sitting for 20 years.)
Purchased a 4 speed (h42) trans/transfer
Purchased 2 1/2 lift front springs, good used
Purchased new rubber for glass in top and windshield
Purchased new turn and parking lights
Purchased new seat covers and foam, (SOR)
Purchased new outer door handles
Working on a deal to trade some body work on a 40 for a pto winch for the 45
I have an extra 2F if the 1F gives up
