That's quite a cut down. At least you have the Ford badge.

Hi Eric, Thanks for the pictures, In picture two, the cross pieace next to the battery tray, with a central hole in it , would you say this was original or has it been welded in both ends, it appears welded at the engine end to the angle iron support piece, Does that angle iron support piece have any other holes drilled in it, I am looking for a possibe 3/8" bsf tapped hole?.
thanks kevin.

Would that chassis be from a 1500wt? There used to be a guy in Bacroft who had a couple 1500wt's parked behind his mother's place down beside the old hospital in Bancroft Ont. One I remember he had one painted all red. Not sure if he still has them or not

Good morning Kevin:
I checked out that angle iron next to the battery box, to me it looks like someone has added it. It is welded at both ends and appears to be a scrap piece and not factory as they are not clean cuts. Eric

Well I have a couple of new treasures. One is brend new and one is 65 years old. I have my first grandchild, a little baby girl born August 30th. She is a sweetheart and grampa is going to spoil her rotten.
The next I just bought tonight. It is a Canadian model 1946 Dodge troop carrier. The fella I got it from has welded a old fargo pickup cab on it. He used it as a snowplow since 1961. He bought it from a fella who bought it new after the war. It has not run in couple years but started right up and runs like a charm. Very complete truck wilth all data plates in place, all lights there. Seats are still in back but rotted, extra tire as well he said maybe even 2 tires. Hardware all the for wood frames on box as well. I am very happy to have got this one. Original engine and winch as well. I took some pictures, when I get them loaded on computer I will post the pictures. Tommorrow going to look at a old pedal car for my granddaughter and will have it restored for her, have to get her interested in grampas stuff (junk) as my better calls it still. Cheers Eric

I finally brought home my newest truck, picked it up last sunday. When i purchased it I was told it was a 1946, but when I got it home I looked at the data plates and it turned out to be a 1945. All datat plates are on it. Runs like a charm as does the winch. I'm very happy with it, glad I bought it. Looks out of place though being as it is a dodge in the midst of all my fords. I will post some pictures hopefully next weekend when my sons are in town and can show this old guy how to post pictures again.
Cheers Eric
