Thanks Charlie. You have been a great help with your vast carb & ingnition systems knowledge. You are truly a kind and helpful person. For those that don't know Charlie he is one of what I call "charter members" of Fordbarn. There are many of these guys and I will post about them later so I don't mean to leave anyone out. Dad & I got to know Charlie on the barn and met him in person in Auburn. We have one of the best right here in Charlie. If you don't know Charlie, you really should soon.
Charlie, we hope to meet up again soon and in the company of early Fords.

I purchased the bed from Mac Hils Products in Moberly, Missouri. Great folks to deal with and very helpful. Dad and Jim Sutton drove there and picked the bed up. In fact Jim just finihsed a '51 F1 and they brought back both beds together. Post some pics of your project when you get time, we would love to see them!

Post some more pics of your 39 pickup when you have time. I remember seeing it on the front page of the barn, it is a very clean and well done project. These trucks are very unique in their own way, we would love to see more of them!

No paint roller Cecil. Just some plastic and cotton stuffing left over from the upholstry job on the seat and other odds and ends. The truck is Jefferson Blue, PPG base/clear.
I can't go to Hiawasee, I am getting married the week before and Nicole didn't want to go to Hiawasee for a honeymoon, what the heck is wrong with her?? HA HA!! Dad and I will try and see you all as soon as possible.

It took a crew to get this much done this fast. Jim Sutton and I work most saturdays and sundays and dad (Tom/Illinois) joins us saturday afternoon's when he closes up shop. I wish you guys were closer, we really enjoy working on these early fords.

Seth, looking real nice, it maybe me eyes, or screen, but some photo's make the truck look black, and the other definitely blue. It's all the same truck I'm thinking the lighting and angle?

You're correct the truck is all Jefferson Blue except the running boards they are black. The lighting in the shop makes some of the pictures look dark. It also needs a good bath, wet sanded and buffed yet. We have the new tires mounted on the correct wide five rims now. This old girl will be ready for the road very soon.
