Old Smokey! 1949 Ford F1 Truck

I've been putting this little beast together for the past few months, and its finally at a point where I can share it with y'all. It's an old 49 Ford that was bough for $225 that had been living in blackberry bushes for the last 40 years. Last registered in 1963. I've owned diesels as daily drivers for many years, but this is my first application of one into a hotrod. This should be fun.
