Popular Post 41chevy Posted August 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've been negotiating on this one for about a year. Saw it at the Walcott Jamboree 6 or 7 years ago and the found it at a local shops back lot 3 years ago. Have never seen one with the extra wide grill shell, over size radiator or the VTA1710 1750 C.I. Cumins V-12. Last use was a road unit hauling scrap.

Chuck P Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 how many trucks were there? I was going to take a ride down, but plans changedMedium-size show on all concrete surface. I'm gonna say about about 50 trucks. Weather was threatening all day but just a passing drizzle. They had the potential to get a lot more trucks because it was heavily promoted.

Chuck P Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Autocar spec sheet found on the web. Ford made a batch of '58 Ford Thunderbirds stamped out of stainless steel as well. The S.S was real tough on the stampings and would require much tooling repairs.http://www.squarebirds.org/stainless_steel_cars.htm 1 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...
