Received my copy yesterday.. Mailed 3/18 in California, and arrived here in Maryland 3/23. That's pretty darn good postal service considering some of the Christmas cards we sent in mid December, didn't arrive at their final destination, 50 miles away, until mid February

Congratulations, Dave, on a beautiful, well written, and well organized book on the 1935-1936 Ford Model 51 V-8 Trucks!!

What a great book! I'm really enjoying it. Well written and packed with information. It seems I learn something new with each page turn. Thank you for all your effort putting it together.

Model51 · 04-03-2023, 11:26 PM

Thank you for the kind words. I learned a great deal putting this book together. My goal was to make it relatively easy to read and contain all the details I uncovered. I’m glad you are enjoying it.

Deuce Lover, great to hear that your book arrived. Nice to know it made the long journey to you.

Model51 · 05-11-2023, 08:10 AM

For anyone attending the Grand National Meet in Dearborn June 11-18, I will have some copies of this book for sale. You can look through a copy before deciding to spend $60. No shipping cost. Money goes to the Early Ford V8 Club, not me.

Model51 · 09-01-2023, 05:14 PM

I'm planning on issuing a list of additional information which I discovered after completing the book along with a list of errata. If you have this book and see an error or would like to contribute any additional information, please let me know. You can reply to this note, send a Personal Message, email me, or call.

Dave, thanks for all your efforts to accurately document these models of Ford commercial vehicles.

Model51 · 09-03-2023, 06:06 AM

Zeke3 - Glad you like it. I rushed a bit at the end so now I've found a few mistakes that I should have caught, and also discovered some additional information I wish I new before it got printed. Those are the reasons for creating an errata sheet. I'm hoping some sharp eyes out there will help find what I missed.

SUHRsc · 09-03-2023, 10:16 AM

Will any of these be available to purchase at Hershey by chance?

Thanks!
Zach

nelsb01 · 09-03-2023, 11:28 PM

I can answer that for Model 51 and I hope he doesn't mind.

An order form with proper shipping rates (for all countries) will be available that you can use to purchase, either as a take home or fill out and pay on site.
There will only be a sample book to look at Early Ford V-8 Club booth.
There are two reasons why there will not be books to purchase at Hershey -- one reason is inventory (what books do you bring and how many do you bring) and the second reason is that we do not want to take out a PA tax permit required to sell actual items. By taking orders we can avoid that.
I hope this answers your question.
If you can not wait until Hershey, here is a link to order the book now.

Thank you, makes sense with the tax deal. I was just hoping to save shipping. No big deal though.

mercman from oz · 02-18-2024, 11:28 PM

Received my copy today. While I am not a Truck Person, I have to say that this Book is a very worthy addition to all Early Ford V8 enthusiasts Library.
The written and photographic details that Author Dave has included in this book is amazing. Thank you.

Model51 · 02-19-2024, 11:31 AM

Trevor,
Glad your copy finally made it across the pond and thanks for the compliments.
Next month I'm publishing the errata in a pdf document on the Early Ford V8 Club web site to fix a few errors and add more information discovered after the book went to the printers.

Model51 · 03-29-2024, 06:21 PM

In case anyone is interested, a free 18 page errata has been released by the Early Ford Club for the 1935-1936 Ford Truck book. It's available at this link:
https://www.earlyfordv8.org/Ford_Boo...orrections.cfm
I corrected a lot of typos, so a lot of it is trivia, but it also includes additional information I discovered after the book was published and corrected some errors.

KDL · 03-30-2024, 08:08 PM

On it. Thank you.

Tim Ayers · 03-30-2024, 08:17 PM

I met David at Hershey this year. Very nice fellow and certainly has a passion for these big old Ford trucks. Nice to see the book came together!
