I'm going into the Army in September, so I need to sell my truck, and the sooner I can get it out of my way the better. Really hoping to be able to find it a decent home...
but it NEEDS to be gone by the end of the month. A lot of people have been flaking on this, and I would really hate to have to haul this thing down to the recycle yard and turn it in for scrap metal. That's on you gear heads!

For sale is a 1939 Ford Pick Up.
True barn car, I found this truck in a barn up north and brought it back down to the bay.
It comes with the frame, body pieces, drive shaft, rear axle, suspension, and wheels. No engine, transmission, or interior.

The truck is really clean... it's been sitting, but was primered before it was parked, so there is no "body cancer", and all the pieces are incredibly straight, especially for its age.

Don't be misled by the pictures- the primer is rust colored.The truck has been a "non-op" for so long, that it's not even in the DMV system... this means
that whoever buys it and builds it gets to be the first registered owner (I have the forms to register it). It's currently disassembled, and primed and ready to go for the restoration it deserves. Perfect platform to make what ever kind of a project you want out of it. I have the historically accurate bolts for the Bed-to-frame and Cab-to-frame, which were made by Roy Nacewicz. Part of the sale price also includes copies of all my
pictures in high-resolution, and all my research and sources for the proper parts and services that you may need.
If you have any questions, let me know.

See link below for my cataloging of all the body parts, front and back.

I have a ton of pictures, and can send you high-res versions of any that you would like. Feel free to email me at kanderson.kla@gmail.com


Just make me any offer that isn't offensive.

Sorry about that.... Santa Clara, CA, southern SF bay area. There are lots of haulers here, and I am more than willing to help the buyer work with and coordinate moving the truck
 
I guess he lives in, near, or by the bay, which is south of the barn he pulled it out of.

Just not sure which bay and in which state he's talking about :D
 
If it comes to that, I'd give you twice scrap.

How long will you be in the Army? I could store it for you, I'm about 85 miles East-ish of Santa Clara.
 
I've got 2 years of training and 3 of service on the stack. I have debt that I'll be paying off, so I can't afford to really pay to store it.

I'll try to find out what the recycle yards are paying for metal, and how much this beast weighs for ya.
 
When I said I'd store it, I meant for free.


Least I could do to save an Old Ford, especially for one who's going to put life on the line for his Country.
 
PS, unless you cut it up and seperate tin from steel, you'll only get about 150-200 for it as scrap...reallly would be a shame. Cut up and seperated, maybe 300 in weight....still would be a shame.
 
My hats off to you Mike B. Service men deserve what ever we can do to help them when they are protecting us and allowing us to pursue our hobbies. Whatever we can do if this young man wants the truck we should do. Thank you again Mike B.
 
YOU AIN,T KIDDIN KEN SUPER NICE ,JUST TOO FAR FOR ME i HOPE YOU TAKE THE OFFER OF FREE STORAGE GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES MIKE IN MASS
 
I'm probably one of the accused "flaker's" that 18Xray is talking about. I have been E-mailing him back and forth on this PU. I have talked to several of my buddies who are looking for a project but they are all located out here on the "right" coast and think the shipping would be a problem and the cost of shipping would be expensive. I would love to get the truck just to rescue it from the scrappers who will more than likely send it to China in a crushed square lump.
Come on folks......someone please step forward here and help this Soldier out. Don't let this piece of American iron get scrapped!

There are so many reputable shipping companies out there. I recently got a quote to get a car from California to CT. I didn't go through with it, but it would have run me about 1200 bucks or less. If you add that to the price of this truck which looks like it's going to be low, that's not a bad deal especially for us guys back east. Look for shipping companies on ebay.
 
Hey Mike;..18xray .and all barner's MIKE is a stand-up guy ( he dose what he says he will do ) if you were any closer come get my hauling trailer, and if you run out of room, we can store it here for the same "FREE", and we will keep it for the truck safe for 18xray... I bet we can find some parts for the build, later too... OLD...BILL ... on the north cost,

JM::) I'll back-up Mike B on the free storage, if he runs out of room. and keep it safe for "our solder boy" and all the help he needs ..I have room plus ...:cool: OLD...BILL
 
Thanks for ther kind words, wan't my intention to gain any notice....

But here's the other thing that might work for Xray....say one of you east coast guys want it, and you agree on a prce, xray needs to move it...I'
d be happy to keep it at my place (about 20 miles from 99 and 25 miles off I5), until proper, cheap ttransport could be arrangend, I have a forklift and backhoe, so no problem loading anything....agin, I'm not looking for a project or any resale thing, just like a lot of you it shouldn't be scrapped.

So, if someone in the next few weeks makes a deal on the truck, I'll be glad to hold it here at my place for you...again, no charge, no hidden feees, etc, etc....

Hey, let's amke this right for the young man who's about to serve our(well, OUr in the USA sense...I know there are many non-US esidents that frequent this board) Country, and if anyone over seas wants the truck, same deal, I'll work with you on getting it to the Oakland Port for shipment (preety sure they go overseas from Oakland?).

Anyways, here's my final soapbox speech....I'll buy the truck if need be, and sit on it, just so xray can get a few bucks in his pocket....I'll seel the truck to whomever for what I have invested into it...I won't make a dime, or if ray wants to park it here, he can put a price on it, and I'll (or whomever) buys it, just send him the money....no cash has to touch my hands at all.

Being that I never served in the armed forces (and really, I didin't have the Juevos to do it), I'm so stoked about young men and women who actually volunteer to serv in these trying times...heck, when I was 18 I had to register for the drat...scariest time of my life.

Might be one of the only ways I can give back now.

Okay, enough babbling...gotta find me a cold Coors somewhere!
