47 Ford Pick up looking for a good home
/Adam Webb contected us about this truck. If you like, you can contact him at awebb@sentinelsolar.com
I have a good friend in Ontario that builds hot rods as a hobby and is out of space for his new build and needs his truck out of the way. He is keeping the motor as he finds 800 hp a little much for most people looking for a weekend driver, but everything else is included. He has built some amazing machines of the years, and this one is no different. He bought a 47 Ford and proceeded to take the body and the VIN number off the truck and recycled / donated the rest.
He hand built a custom chassis for it where he has hidden all the brake lines, coolant lines, fuel lines etc. Every inch of the truck is brand new other than the body ( which he chopped by 2.5” ). I know he has well over $100,000 invested in the truck, and that is with him doing all the work himself.
He is asking $40,000 for the truck ( minus the motor ). The transmission stays with the truck.
