Hey i'm new to to Ford Barn:confused:
Can anyone tell me if H. Ford put radio antenna on cowl of trucks, if so which side? I've been told by several "experts" that trucks had antenna mounted under running board and never on cowl. Any info or source of info you might have on 36 p/u. i would appreciate very much.

THANKS BE SAFE
 
Here's what the antenna looked like on a 36 pickup.

Catskinner, whatever you do, don't restore that truck, just try to preserve it like it is. That truck is absolutely too nice to restore!
 
I bought truck in April 2010 and yes it was on e-bay when i found it. Pics u posted are from ad. I just had the pleasure of talking to Larson Cox on phone and he gave me so much info.

NO,rest assured i will never restore this truck. Note orignal Calif. Dealer plates.
 
It was ordered by a Mr. Briggs who was a Ford dealer in or near Sacramento, he kept it for 60 years, his widow sold it to a Kurt Larrecurr in Calastoga,he kept it for 14 years, he sold it to a Richard Armistedii in Templeton, Mass. last Nov. I bought it in April.
