  If you guys would do me a huge favor, watch the video all the way to the end (assuming you find it interesting) and share it with a friend! That will tell youtube to share it with other people! I would really like to do a second video on this, let me know what you think!

  I vote for The Ole Hooker. I like how you got rid of a worn out truck for a shiny crotch rocket and traded that for the awesome old wrecker .

  I'm a 54 year old woman from Sweden. Came to the channel for the abandoned cabin. Found some of the previous videos with cars boring, but this was so much fun to watch with all the silly captions. Well done on getting her running again.

  I would definitely get Ol' Hooker stenciled in on the side somewhere.  Top work!

  It's had the engine replaced. The 1948 to 1950 Ford F-4 had either a 226ci flathead 6 cylinder or 239ci flathead V8. The radiator in your truck is for the  6 cylinder engine. The 48 to 50 Ford had that grill style. The 1951 model had a diamond pattern grill. The speedometer may have shifting speed marks to tell you when to shift. Also the transmission does not have synchronized gears which means to drive it smoothly you have to double clutch it.... It's also has the ignition switch replaced because it originally had an on and off key with a chrome starter button to the left of the steering wheel. The VIN plate should be on the firewall on the driver's side. That will tell you the year and assembly plant. I actually had a 1948 F-5 & a 1950 F-4. Both were stake beds with a 134 inch wheelbase.

  That thing looks bad ass and I agree the patina on it is fantastic. The loss of paint improved it.
