A little background to begin.
A friend's brother back in Missouri had a pair of 40's squirreled away in the weeds, and was cleaning up. One had already been taken back to my friends place, and that was when I learned it was for sale. Put a check in the mail, and made the trip down from Ohio over Memorial Day weekend to bring her back. Part of the deal was that I'd need to go bring the other '40 back to my friends place, since I was coming down with a truck and trailer. With the set of wheels and tires from mine we got to work getting her out of the weeds.
The American dream. Ohio trailer, Missouri '40, Oregon Super Duty, and a rust free cab we had room for. Time to hit the road.
After driving an hour and a half with the AC blasting, we got back out into the Missouri heat to swap tops since mine had someones idea of a sunroof cut into the top, which I assume is how Mr. Raccoon was able to use the passengers seat as his toilet.
Loaded up, green top strapped down, ready to head North in time for work on Tuesday. Here you can see the chop job that was done, along with some "rake your Nova" autozone shackles to run 36" rubber. New front fenders are in order, along with some more sheetmetal out back.
