What year is it?

I found this pickup a few weeks back, and I am picking it up this weekend. Can anyone out there tell me what year this ford truck is and if it is a 3/4, 1 ton..ect.?

 

I would say 1935 Ford.

 

Oh yaeh, I believe its a 1 ton.

 

the way the A pillar goes into the cowl I'm saying 35 also... 36 was a little more graceful.

 

Go to the interior pic...look at the little oval cut in the floor right ahead of the shifter. Peer into there and you should see the serial number stamping--pos*** and we'll know for sure, as long as trans is original.

 

It looks like a 36-the 35's look the same except the grille is about 3" thinner front to rear and the hood is thus longer on the 35. The cab and other parts are the same. It's a 1 1/2 ton rated truck at least.

 

The grill is a 36. The grill is noticably deeper than the 35.


This is a 35



1936.

 

If the hood was there the '35 has a stainless Ford oval on the side, the '36 has no center Ford logo.

 

There is no doubt that it is a 1936 Ford 1 1/2 ton. I have several 35s and 36s, half ton and one and a half ton. This is a 36

 

35 and 36 use the same hood side emblem. they are just in different locations

 

C3, do you wanna sell some of the wheels off of it? Where are you? I am near Waskom Texas

 

Well I pick it up tommorrow and I will look for the stamping. Is that the only location for the serial number stamping?

 

The wheels will be used. I can try to locate some for you. Let me know what exactly you are looking for. I am approx 40 west of Houston

 

That's a '36. Spent many a day in one of those delivering lumber to the
job site. 11/2 Ton. Both '35 & '36 hoods had emblems. The '36 had it on the
front of the side panel. On the '35 it was in the middle of the panel.

 

It's a 36, but beware. Those front fenders will only fit a Comm'l truck they have 20" openings. Although, I am waiting on all the dub guys to figure out they could slam it crazy and run big retarded wheels without interference.

 

See this is great, now I know how to tell the difference between a 35 and a 36 big trucks.......Now if I can just learn the same about 33 and 34 Fords.

 

Now that's a '36 11/2 ton. Spent many a day bouncing around delivering lumber to the job site in one like it. Both '35 & '36 had the Ford emblem on
the side of the hood. '35 had it in the middle of the side panel and the '36
had if on the front of the panel. There was a little difference in the grills but,
most people wouldn't notice that. Always carried canvas water bags hanging
on the radiator. That truck would overheat at just the thought of a hill. However it earned it's keep with all we carried on it. One great workhorse.

 

I should have stated that the 35 has the emblen in the center and the center louvers are shorter, the 36 has all the same length louvers and the emblen attached to a flat area on the front.

 

Your neat old truck has a later model flathead in it also. It is a 24 stud engine and it came out with a 21 stud engine. Neat project material,good luck.

 

Cool project rig, going to turn into a vintage rollback/flatbed unit? Looks like the question was already answered but I would have said at least a 1 ton as it is a dually.

 

Going to go with the rodded flatbed

 

Well I picked it up and there are a lot of issues I didn't see the first time around...

Any suggestions on having the wheels repaired? There are two ( inner duals ) that the lip has been rusted away, and some rust holes in the rim. The others look to be useable?

Also is there a company out there with patch pannels, or is it easier to make them myself? I will need some for the lower doors?

 

I was told that the factory aluminum intake only came on the 37's. Is that right? I don't think that's the original motor in there.

 

Lots of prewar USA flatheads had aluminum manifolds; generally, trucks got iron ones and cars aluminum. After the war, Canadians still used lots of aluminym stuff.
