If your going to do a high end restoration ( ebay 220690722639), it would be a wise idea to do some research first. Why didn't he consult this site first? I see aleast 1/2 dozen issues.

My guess would be he felt like I did before the club, seemed to be the only person I knew that loved these trucks.

we are spread thin !and evenly around the country/world ...

Actually, I believe Dan is (or at least was) looking for one of those "ugly" grills

IMHO, there should be a law against people using the word "restoration" when it clearly isn't. I prefer the word resurrection. Looks great and the workmanship looks top notch, but its the little, minor things that kill it: fender emblem in the wrong place, engine painted the wrong color

i know he was gerald. that's why i was razzing him. lol. everyone knows the 64's have the best looking grilles.

Sorry about that Chris! Personally, I personally prefer either the 62 or the 65 grills, but am learning to like the 63's also. Of course some like redheads and some like blonds.

the 64 1/2 grill was best...but OOPS I wasn't supposed to mention that !

18K and the badges are in the wrong place.
63-64 was on the side of the hood, not the fender.

I don't care a damn about all those problems.
That truck is very very nice and I think its worth every penny.
In my "not so" humble opinion.
U@ss

And my personal grill preference is the '62.

That's how I want my doors to look inside. Wonder if he bought that door storage compartment with the white face or had it made?

I love the wadded wires under the column with the yellow zip ties. You can see the quality.
Nice looking truck with a very "proud" owner.

gee, what a great buy... Not! for that money, the guy could have at least done some under hood work. really, he couldn't shoot 5cents worth of spray paint on the horn relay? Looks like the wheels are original too.. lol

factorystock · Post by **factorystock** » November 4, 2010, 9:19 pm

Ok, for those who want to know what factorystock would do to make the truck historically correct. Find correct aluminum '64 grille. Letters above grill relocated to wider spacing. Emblem relocated to hood.Engine block painted black, valve cover Ford Red. Remove '48-'56 hubcaps, and install correct bottle cap style.Paint wheels white. Should have aluminum body moldings for a truck with tu tone paint. Adjust tu ton paint line ( Non Canadian ) which would run directly under moldings, not under body lines as shown. Remove the door handle custom cab emblem, leave the script custom cab emblem.Add oil bath air cleaner.All this work and costs involved should be deducted from asking price in my hubble opinion.
