Be careful on how "broken down" you wind up with. I've seen guys buy an old relic and replace everything but the radiator cap.

It gets expensive rather quickly.

Awesome, I always dreamed of restoring an old Ford pickup.

I have no $ for it though...or tools...or a garage.

Best thing to do is find some hot rod events when they come to town. Things like auto shows and part swap events are the place to start. Old trucks make great hot rods so if you don't see an old beater for sale, more than likely there will be someone there you can get information from.

Pick up the local "auto swapper" magazines as well. They usually have one just for trucks and one for classic cars. Both may have ad's with people willing to sell one.

if your lookin for a ford it shouldnt be to hard to find. just look along side the road , most of the time youll find a trail of parts that will take you right to the vehicle.

Yes, the ones available for free in grocery and convenience stores are better. At least around here, they are.
