Starting out with a '51 L-172
1951 L-172 with super blue diamond 269, two speed rear end.
Couple of rust holes here and there, floors are a bit rusty but on the whole it's in pretty solid condition.
The frame rails have been extended by 3 feet or so, I'll be cutting that off and building a flatbed for it.
Carb needs gone through, it has been sitting for year and won't start, I will check the fuel pump too, ethanol gas may have messed it up.
The previous owner put an alternator on it but it isn't wired up.
Looks like it was originally a dark green, then red, then the orange. Not sure yet what I'll do with the paint.
I'm super excited about it, I'll be sure to take plenty of photos as I work on it.
