An Early Ford Truck Post... Let's see them.

Got the dropped axle in a couple nights ago and got to roll it outside today

lookin good! nice stance
 
Years ago when I had a real nice 1938 P\U I hated the look of it, so I kept the whole running gear & frame that were near mint, and put a 36' big truck cab on it and sold the 38' body. Now I wish I had it back, that 38'-39' look grows on you! The guy that bought the body slapped it on a late model Ford Ranger chassie, and was on the road in 2 weeks.
 
these are not mine but how can you do better?

I can't believe it but I almost forgot about Ole' Yeller!! My '52 F-600. He has an original, all steel, Herculese dump bed and the flatty runs like a sewing machine!! I use it almost everyday.
 
Here is my toy hauler and daily. Like it so much that I'm building another 40 with Buick nailhead for power.

I've posted it before but it's still the best photo I have of my two early Fords. '25 Model T Roadster Pickup and '39 V8 Pickup.

Until the '39 is running, the '25 will continue hauling the concrete and lumber.

This is a picture of my high school hot rod from 1962. The shiny picture is how it looks today. The sad part for me is, I haven't owned it since 1973.

av8paul that old photo is incredible. It almost looks as if you magically recorded something from a dream. Talk about patina!

It was so long ago, it seems like it was a dream. However, with my current ride, I'm living a dream that was smoldering in me for many years. Life is good.
 
Here are pictures of my 28 roadster pickup towing a 34 pickup my friend had purchased in 1983. I still have the roadster pickup, the 34 pickup has been gone for years.

The 33 one ton I have had for about 11 years. It's never been restored, has had one repaint and I use it as a work truck. One picture is hauling my 34 4-door sedan and the other is taking down an old blacksmiths shop framed with Model T and Model A frame rails

The 50 pickup my dad bought new. I took my driving test in it in 1966. Have completly rebuilt it with a 283, automatic transmission, 9" rear-end, and a dropped axel. I drove it to work everyday for several years.
