1951 Ford F-1 Custom — need advice: Used truck versus new compact pickup

I'd treat this like cash with a paper trail. Bill of sale, VIN, odometer, and names matching the title — I'd want all four on the 1951 Ford F-1. That's where I'd start. On “1 custom — need advice: used truck,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. That's my plan before I call anyone.
