My wife is buying me a nice 1951 Ford pickup for my Birthday and I was looking for web sites/forums that might deal with these trucks. Also ANY other sites which might be helpful. We are going to look at it this afternoon and if it is all the guy says I'll be bringing it home ASAP. Seeing as my last name is Ford and I was born in 1951, I am really stoked about it. How does “51FORDS” sound for a tag? I’ll post pics if the deal works out.
It has been kept in a shed since he bought it some 40 years ago. He installed a 289 auto and painted it red with a red interior right after he got it. Chrome reverse with baby moons and like new tires. He says the body is rust free and NO dings.
This will mean I’ll be selling my 1969 F100 to get some working cash to do a few things to make it MINE. So look for an ad in the classified section soon if it all works out.
Thanks in advance guys.

Edit: The guy sold it before I got there... oh well... wife is giving me the money she would have spent so now I can fix up my 69 like I wanted to.

here is a site dedicated to ford trucks, with a section for your years. The 50's section seems to stay pretty active, with many members pretty knowledgeable about them. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum41/

I have an OLD TRUCKS group if you are interested......a 51 or 69 fits right in.

Thanks for responding guys...

I'm still on the look out for an older Pickup so I'll keep those links.

Again, Thanks.

Tell me more about the 69 you might be selling.
FTE is probably your best bet. Our 67-72 bunch spawned from there a couple years back because the administrator was really paranoid and controlling. He was sensoring a lot of posts with good information. Ken isn't a bad sort, just trying to make a buck and it is full of banner ads now.

I've had 51-52's in the past,had to sell,now only have 48-50's...Bonusbuilt.com is one of the sites I deal with.They ONLY deal with 1948-1952 ford trucks. GREAT SITE ,lots of info,Check it out.
