40-41 ford pickup picture thread

solid is that yours? What axle is that?

 

All nice trucks!! John

 

My old Forty, I miss it:

 

Here is a few pictures of my '40 Ford Pick-up. If anyone is interested, I would like to see it go to a good home. I hate to see it go, but times are a little tough for me right now and I have to let go.

 

Here is mine. Now it's all torn down and ready for a frame up build. I will do a build thread when I have made some progress

 

The ultimate 40 Ford Pickem up in my opinion......Joe Barnett, circ late 50s

"The ultimate 40 Ford Pickem up"..everyone is entitled to their opinion, but in "my opinion", that one misses the mark, because of the Chev AD rear fenders. Very nice other than that. A major attraction for me of a "40-"41 Ford P/U, is the nice flowing lines, all the way out to the rear bumpers, and a major part of that is the design of the stock rear fenders.

 

Yup! This one inspired me to put a '56 F-100 bed and '52 Chevy truck fenders on my '40 Ford Pick Up.

psssst... I've heard rumors that Joe's old truck may be hidden in a garage somewhere in Costa Mesa.

 

Very Very Nice Truck!!

 

AAARRGGHHH! I just love these trucks! I had a '41 in High school thirty years ago right now. That was in St. Paul, Minnesota. I sold that truck in late eighty one, and thought nothing more of it. Five years ago I drove to Tucson and bought a '42 that had come from southern Minnesota. Some thing looked so familiar about it but I couldn't put my finger on it... Flipping through my mom's family albums, there was the answer: it had the spare set of doors from my old '41! Don't think I want to know where my '41 is...
On a side note, I have been watching and waiting for the right time to strike to buy another '41 here locally for quite awhile now. Went to look the other day and it's gone. A day late and several dollars short again!

 

Bought this one before the recession for $3,500. Traded it a few years later for a "40 Tudor DeLuxe. Saw it a year later at the same swap meet, asking price was $1,500

 

This is the lot I got my '41 from. sadly all that's left is one '40 Ford cab. The pea green '40 in the fore ground is the ol' guys ONLY means of transportation.

 

Here's my '40 (and a Thank You to Mt Shasta Steve):

 

I love this one courtesy of bristolhotrods.com in England!

I found this thread while getting amped up to go pick up my new 40 tomm.

Lets see em!!!

 

My 41. As it sits and the image after Photochop reflecting what I wish to do.

 

Sick!!!

 

This old 41' has been my daily driver for the last 21 years, it was originally purchased new by the forest service of Sequoia National Park with the 239 V8, still runs a flathead to this day.

 

My Forty

 

Keep em coming. I just got a mid 40s truck with no front clip for $200. Plan to put a '40-'41 nose on it.

 

Just got Rodder's Journal 54 in the mail today, opened her up and found this BadBoy!
Kudos too makin the Journal man, this truck sure deserves it!!!

 

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Great thread, I'd love to find a 40 to build.

Here's my 40-41, been working on since '91, get'n closer to finishing but taking way too long! Injected 283, 700R, 9", disc on all four corners. We chop'd it 2", 41 Stude taillights, Original Jot Horne sideboards.........

Just dragged this home last weekend. Raders are temporary rollers until the new steelies get back from the powder coater.
