Cool old truck Duane. What is it? Looks to be early 50's.

The truck is a '48 f3 cab on a '73 f350 frame. Still has the stock 390 and c6 tranny. My dad and older brother built it from scratch around 10 years ago. It will haul just over 2 full cord. You don't want to drive it to far loaded it only gets about 4 mpg. Have to unload a little by hand to get to the chains that hold the top of the rack together then just pull the lever and dump it out.

That tends to happen when you try and use a truck set up for sled pulling as a daily driver..
