Thank you for the manuals. I'm going to print them out and use for the hookup. ML

Wow, this is really great info. Will help to make a decision on what to do. The rear is some sort of 10 bolt of unknown provenance. Thursday is our work night, and I'll get some decent photos of the truck itself and components. Thanks again, ML

Thank you, Tubman, I'll look for it Thursday night, our work night. We have a couple more of the same unit all cleaned up and ready up in the walk-up attic. This fellow collected two and three of many of the components including probably 5 or six grills and other items. ML

I'm helping out some friends finishing assembly of a 32 Ford pickup. Owner/fabricator recently passed away and left about 80% assembled including a GM 3 speed with the Borg Warner already attached and drive shaft fit to the rear. Question, can the overdrive be set as a pass through 1to 1 ratio...

Photos of demonstrator are attached (I think)

Was up to a truck show at Bethlehem CT Fairgrounds today and saw the 1937 demonstrator. Looks like it just came out of the barn. Didn't track down the owner to talk about the truck. A once in a lifetime find for sure. Looks like the only thing updated was the plug wires. I'll try and post a...

I would really like to find a 42-47 truck and attach it. Have a 39 dump and 39 large panel. My very first recollections of a truck ride was our 42 Ford pickup that dad bought in 1948 and kept until 1954 or so. Then one morning he stopped by the house in his companies 46 Ford dump. At age 77, as...

I meant to say grill guard.

Here are some pictures.

I dragged this out of the leaves the other day. I think it's off from a 42-47 truck. Has the Ford bumper of that era and a couple of license plate holders. Its 56 inches tip to tip of the headlight protectors and 27X24 center grill. Weighs about 100 lbs. All I could do to pick up one end. No...

Thank you. I'll try to give a look tonight. ML

I have a new Google Pixel Android Phone. I have some photos the I would like to post on Ford barn directly from the camera. How do I do this. I've looked for instructions but they are confusing. If I was still working I'd hand the phone to the IT guy and he would do it in a minute or so. HA...

Thanks for your help and input on this. I forgot the door and switch were keyed the same but as was walking up the hill to check it out I remembered that the column is from a later truck. I think the column was replaced when the truck was modified for sealed beam headlamps. No reason to leave...

I have a 39 11/2 ton panel truck with a 40/41 big truck steering collum with the steering wheel inoperable. No key and probably locked and key taken out a long time ago. I know I have to remove the lock pin by drilling and tapping a hole and put in a 10/32 screw and pull it out. Problem is the...

The straw boss said "Fill your shovel or fill your coat" Back in 1967 I started working for my local small town road crew on summer vacation. Did this for five summers and other short vacations. Graduated from high school on a Thursday night and was tracked down by the first selectman Friday...

Re: This guy gets a ‘41 truck going w/hammer. Take a closer look at the first minute or so of the interior; it's a 1939 truck with a 41 front clip. Very nicely done. Especially note the two speed axle shift lever. ML

Thanks for the complement but those ore shoulder bolts. That cross member is NOS. ML

It's a 38. Front bumper has the bumper guards and the front hub has the large stainless steel hub cap that screws on. Both features of the 38 and last year for them from the factory. Un likely that anyone would have a 39 of that era and put a 38 bumper on it. Also I am trying to figure out how...

I think that the 01T fenders will fit the 38-39 truck. I bought a set of NOS 01T fenders a few years ago. Just got around to fitting one of them to my 39 dump truck. The 39 fenders sweep straight over the frame while the 01T sweeps down to surround the frame. I'm hoping to copy a picture from a...

There have been some great 1935 Model 51 posts so I though I would attach a couple of Model 68 ,1936's which are virtually the same model. Both of these have connections to my current home in Mansfield Ct. The dump truck was just found in a historical society book titled Farming in Mansfield CT...
