1934 1-1/2 ton Ford Dump, 40 years in dry storage I put four brand new 700-20 tires, tubes, and flaps ($1200) on it and fixed it up enough to drive, it is not "restored" or a hot rod. Body sheet metal, frame, and dump body metal is in very good condition for the age. The cab is in much better...

New price

Btt

Just listed my '34 BB dump truck on the swap page today, JM 35 I feel the "no time" thing as well. I'm not sure I'll be able to retire for another 20 years and can't let it sit that long. Needs to go to a good home. Too bad it was a blast taking it out around town, never did make it in the santa...

NOW $ 7,000. -- Pictures at http://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/cto/3713852309.html Driver condition 1934 1-1/2 ton Ford Dump, Currently registered with clean Massachusetts Title with correct numbers. Same cab as pickup with 1938 V8 flathead. This came out of 40 years of dry storage last year. I...

I know this is not the same truck but... I paid $3500. for my '34 as it had sat for 40 years in a shed - I didn't know if it would run. Luckily for me the '38 V8 in it ran awesome after new ignition parts including a rebuilt coil by Skip. With other misc parts to make it driveable, some body...

I used Vintage Glass in Tolland, CT for my 34 dump. He had the correct patterns as I had no glass and everything fit great. He can tell you if he has the patterns for your car.

I cut out a small rectangle around the mounting holes and tacked in a small piece of sheet metal to take its place. I probably could have done a better job finishing out with the grinder. It might help to clamp a small piece of copper along with it as a backer. I'm a pretty lousy welder and...

Took a the speedometer gear out of a junk chassis my brother had - it's a later year big truck, we think 1935. Many of the parts look to be the same as my '34 and was optimistic this would fit. The speedo gear seemed to go in properly but the cap would not thread in correctly. With the help of...

Never mind,me, just looked at your bio, looks like you have history on the car if it was in the family. Thanks too for your service. I'll go to bed now and be quiet.

Ok here's another silly question. Are you sure you have a 6 volt starter (or a car that hasn't been previously converted to 12 volt?) I can't really see on my phone too well but was this someone's project when you got it or do you know a lot about it?

What happens when you put plugs in and take jumper cables directly from battery to starter?

The Bondo sales guy likes the rest of us. Just jealousy talking. I wish I had that talent. Looks great.

I'm in, just don't stop quick in front of me. The brakes still aren't quite right.

For what its worth, I have a similar coil in my BB. The original one in the truck was at least 50 years old,would work well for about 5 minutes then break down. I replaced it with a NOS one that lasted about 30 minutes before it heated up and the spark would start to crap out. I got Skip in FLA...
