Ive searched and seen a few picture threads for 35-41 Ford trucks. They are kinda hit and miss. I know there is more cool trucks than is in those threads here. Just thought I would try to make the mother thread for these sweet trucks. Heres mine.
BUMP. I know there has got to be plenty more on this board. JOBCORP I saved all the pics of your truck Ive seen. Its sick.
Here is a 40 I'm working on. 401 nailhead with a 700r4 trany. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=527407 And the 40 I'm currently driving. I will be selling it in the spring.
This is my '35 Ford PU......425 Nailhead power/TH400/9" rear. 4" dropped front axle, disc brakes.....Saginaw power steering.
I'm helping a guy get a 40 back on the road. they sure don't leave a lot of room to get anything done in the engine compartment when you put a 350 in there. I have to put it on the lift to get the plugs out. I was suprised at how small they were inside when I drove it around.
Old Pic - First days mock up 4 years ago... 302 - 5 Speed - 9" Ford w discs - Heidts Super Ride II .... almost got it now.... Been a "Long Haul".
... gonna replace the body to frame wood. any particular hassles in doing this in a running-driving complete truck? this truck looks like it was built in 1990's. body off type of thing. the wood looks like a rotten tree you would see in the woods.
I started this one in the early '90's then life got in the way and it sat untouched till 2009 when I finished it. Drove it for a few months then sold it to fund the Model A I am building now.
a couple pictures of my '36 had an 8BA in it for a long time... That engine was pretty tired so I replaced it with a '58 283 and C4 auto trans.
