Edit: Oops, just saw it's a '41. I saw this this morning on facebook Marketplace. Someone could get a great foothold in the flathead world with this truck. The wheels would be the first thing to go for me. No doubt it could be picked apart (instrument cluster) etc. But those that have built something like this know what it costs to get this far. Heck, that 8ba could even have a 4" crank down below. Anyhow, no affiliation, just sharing with my friends.

Dang. Glad it's not closer. Already 12 volts, alternator, and looks like a State of Washington assigned vin on the door post so no title issues. Locked brakes shouldn't be a major problem. Worth much more in SoCal. IMO.

Locked brakes and a 'cracked coil'. I wouldn't be surprised if the new owner is driving it around today gloating over his find as he stops at his buddy's shops. Looks like one of those instances where the grieving widow sells his car for what he said he had into it.
I recall a sign that read:

"My biggest fear is that when I die my wife will sell all my $#!+ for what I told her I paid for it" Haha
