Brought another pickup at an auction today. I think it's a 37. Straight panels

Oh, they are. I bought one, then I bought another and then I bought two more. I have a hunch that I am not done.
 
Like eatin' candy. Although the new truck today looks rough, it's actually a very straight truck. No stress cracks either. I think this one didn't live a rough farm life, like my first truck.
There was a 41 Ford truck that sold too, along with an early 50's Ford convertible. About 40 cars sold today. I'm told they have another 500 to be sold in November.
 
What did the 41 sell for and what was the condition? Good for you for rescuing another! Some people like rescue dogs. We like rescue cars!

The 41 sold for $500 with a complete cab and front end with the drive train. The 41 was missing the bed and the rear frame was damaged. I suspect it was in a rear end collision at one time. Still a good price for what it was.

That pickup looks really straight. Rear fenders that nice are hard to come by.

Much better than the fenders on my first pickup. I found the tailgate buried under debris in the bed. The owner had car parts stored in about 10 different storage containers on the property. No telling what the buyers found in those units. The owner didn't appear to be brand loyal and had a little bit of everything. I actually didn't follow the auction crowd around during the auction, I just camped out at the 37 and waited for them to come around. Talked to a lot of buyers and found out what other things went for.

Indeed. Unfortunately, it may be a candidate for a rod, but maybe better starting with that rather than a complete truck!
