I am offering up for sale my 1938 Ford One Ton Express Truck. This truck has undergone a frame-up museum quality restoration. Every component has been rebuilt. Nothing was left untouched. Replacement parts were always NOS where available. I have extensive written and photographic records of the...

please disregard sorry

Sometimes the reward is recognition such as your words here. Thank you.

Hello All.... I thought I would resurrect this post and add the latest piece to it. I made the decision awhile ago to move on to another project. In the interest of placing my '38 Tonner with someone else who might appreciate the restoration, I have listed the truck with the Hemmings on-line...

GB, this is amazing information. I know how near impossible these parts are to find. The production numbers were low.

I had an individual call me the other day who is looking for a right rear fender for his recently found '38 Tonner. He was told about an article on my '38 Tonner and called me to see if I had any ideas where he might find one. I did give him one name to check out. However, since he's not on the...

My mistake. I meant to be on the Early Ford V-8 board. Clicked without looking carefully.

GB - Always good to hear from you. Thanks for the pictures.

I'm actually asking this question after the fact. I completed my truck in June of 2019. I had nothing in the way of wood to use for templates either for the floor or the crossmembers and very little in the way of hardware, none of which was reusable. I did manage to find all of the original...

Wow! I really appreciate your detailed account of what you personally experienced. The bed on my truck when I got it looked quite different than yours, and I was able to determine little from it. My bed also had clear signs of modifications and had been beaten up a bit.

Thanks guys. I'm off again to the Benson Ford with my question and to James Wagner directly.

I've contacted the Benson Ford Research Center for specific info relative to my truck, but they could do little because the appropriate records were destroyed in the 1970 fire, However, I will try again with this general inquiry. Also, I will definitely try James Wagner. Thank you.

I have a question regarding the original finish on the bed wooden floor in the 1938 One Ton Express truck. I never found anything specific on this issue. The Tonners are different than many other trucks (especially the ½ ton pickups) that had a metal floor that may have additionally been covered...

I used the original top and bottom tanks and had the core replaced. Question: Do you have a 1938 One Ton Express Truck?

Thanks everyone. I had Charlie rebuild my original (factory installed) fuel pump and just installed that along with simplifying the fuel line connection by cutting the hard line from the pump and installing an Edelman Ford nut and ferrule. I squirted a little gas down the throat of the carb, and...

Rod... Thank you for the addition. I'll work it into the survey. That front end modification is a considerable amount of work. Is it a '38 or '39?
