From the publisher...
Henry Ford built the first Ford pickup by bolting a small box onto the back of a Model T Roadster in 1924. It was a quick and easy operation, yet it started the Ford truck history that's preserved today by restorers who spend dozens, hundreds, even thousands of hours on their vintage Ford pick-up trucks.
How to Restore your Ford Pick-Up will guide you through each step of the restoration process, whether you're rebuilding a Ford light-duty truck to extend its working days or completely restoring it to like-new condition.
Every aspect of restoring a 1946-1967 Ford pickup is covered in detailed text that's full of how-to advice from expert restorers. More than 320 photographs show you how to perform each task and how to use the proper tools and equipment.
Restoration steps the book covers include tool selection; stripping and de-rusting; engine and driveline overhauls; rebuilding brakes; metal repair and painting; replacing wiring, rubber and glass, and more.
