1951 Ford F2

[Chuck Most]

Introducing the "ugly sister" to Fred Sanford's truck. It's on display at a local used car lot. I dare say it would look better in my yard. ?

Door lettering appears to be legit, not "fauxtina". And if it isn't, the rest of the truck more than makes up for it. Judging by the plate it hasn't been road legal since 1964, unless the plate it's wearing was just slapped on later to coincide with the year on the door. I'm not sure what One Twenty II was or did. Could have been a store. Could have been some weird secret society. All I know is today there's nothing in Sumner but a gas station/grocery store (Wilson's Grocery), a riverside park, and three churches. Other than that it's all farms and private residences. Whatever One Twenty II was there doesn't seem to be a trace of it there today.

The barrels might suggest a brewery, though Sumner seems to have more recreational smokers than recreational drinkers, if you know what I mean. Or maybe the barrels are just there to look cool.

Truck appears to be composed mostly of rust, Bondo, and lichen at this point.

Given a few of the still-present custom touches (spotlight, outer grille bars removed, "auxiliary" parking lamps, steering wheel) I have to wonder what the now-missing front bumper looked like. Bet it was gnarly. Or a plank from an old barn.

Monogram/Revell '50 F1 would get you at least most of the way there, depending on how close to "replica" you want to get.

She's a beauty in all that rusted glory.

it looks kinda fire truck with the style of the writing and spot lights

Very cool! However, it will never pass safety inspection with that busted headlight. Driver looks like he could use a meal.

Looks like the Tim Worm has been chewing on the lower extremities.

 That far North, aren't they "Iron Moths"?
