1940 Ford pickup offered to me today.

Hi Guy's,

I was sitting at my desk today when one of the guy's in my department came up to me and asked if I wanted a 1940 Ford pickup. They all know I play with old cars. The story is that its his dads and has been sitting in a storage unit that his dad wants to clear out. It has a 289 with it, Mustang II front clip and some old slot mags.

I'll keep you all posted on how it goes. He said he doesn't think his dad wants anything for it and just wants it to goto a good home.

 

i know a good home here in ct

 

I've got room for it over here. It's a good home. You know, if you're getting crowded and all...

 

Looks like your coworker isn't the least bit into old cars. But you never know on deals like this and it's time to follow up on it. It might be easy to turn into a nice driver.

 

I'm closer than the other guys....

 

Send it to me. Seriously a project like that would be worth quite a bit of cash over here. Easily much more expensive than the $3000 Skidmarks mentioned, probably double and then change the sign from $ to £, The last 40 pick up project I saw advertised albeit with some Street Rod parts to fit the reserve price on that unmentionable auction site was £15,000

 

I wouldnt be able to sleep thinking I was getting a 40 Ford PU for nothing or close to it.

 

Yeah me too

 

Me either!

 

Score nice find. If you decide its not a fixer i could use some parts.

 

I'll store it for you...............................

 

Why are you sitting on this computer? You should be out getting that ****er before someone else does. It Will be gone soon,I have learned from past experiences GO NOW! Or you will be saying Boy I should of done that.

 

Me either. I'd be too excited to sleep. I'd be out in the garage with it trying to get it cranked and running.

 

Tell him to call me. At my shop it wouldn't be loanly, hell there's old cars everywhere.

 

I've got room!

 

Sweet

 

Should have more details tomorrow.

 

Can you say Happy St. Nicks! Hope it works out. Karma must be positive for you this week p*** it on.

 

Man, I can't find a decent one to buy and someone gives you one, you must be living right!

 

My dad had one in the late 50's early 60's...he's 82 now and still wishes he had his 40 back....send it to Texas if no one else wants it...

 

lucky you!!!!!

 

Some people .... have all the luck.

PACO

 

say thank you Jesus!

 

Ok, got more details today. It's a 41, has a boxed frame with Mustang II crossmember installed. Comes with a 302 and transmission, Ford 9" rear end. Truck was all together and running many years ago and it was taken apart and never put back together again. Body has been blasted and put in primer. The father wants $2000 for it but the son thinks that's too much. At $2000 I would probably still buy it. Will let you know.

 

buy it now!!!!

 

wow if its in decent shape 2000$ would still be a deal , hope you score it

 

It is in Texas...........neat little truck, well worth the 2k!

 

Sounds like a great deal. Post pics when you can!!!

 

yep..love to see some pics...good luck...d32

 

I bought my black one as a driver. Building another and just buying up the parts as I find them. Trying to do this so I don't have to part out the black truck. I have all of the sheet metal now. 46 cab. 39 car frame, swap meet running boards, front clip from a friend, grill off eBay and just bought a new bed. I did buy gl*** fenders to swap out on the black truck so I can keep it all metal. I will sell my driver when I get the project a little further along. Here is a link to my build;
