Good afternoon all!
Longtime Pre-war era Ford admirer, first time owner here :)

WOW beautiful '36 Ford Pickup, LOVE IT:):):)

Welcome and THANKS for posting a picture of your '36! You can't beat a '35 or '36 Ford pickup, a sharper looking truck was never built!

Only problem with your post is the title wording 'Yet another 36 pickup post' -----no such thing bud, I can't see enough of these trucks!! No way not 'Yet another....'!!

We've got a '36 pickup in Washington Blue and as I told another fellow on FB, the only thing about the truck is, the attention it gets. People are constantly pulling up beside me with their phones taking pictures and giving me the thumbs up. Be prepared. You are going to get a LOT of that with this beauty!!!

Take care

Jeff

I wondered that too but the trees in the background looks like the MidWest.

Welcome aboard!
Yep, neat little truck for certain. I especially appreciate the fact it's for the most part - stock.
You're gonna enjoy this one!

Welcome to the barn ,a good friend of mine has a 1935 v-8 ,helped him restore it ,it’s true they do draw attention ,but why not the front end alone is enough to make you stare at it well designed and fun to drive ,like a big go-cart ,you have a great looking truck enjoy it

Re: Yet another 36 pickup post
 

Thanks everyone! And yes I’m in central Ca working on getting those YOM plates changed over...
It’s been a ton of fun so far it’s like driving a time capsule I come from a hotrodding background and I’ve really enjoyed taking things slow and cruising a piece of history!

A beautiful looking pickup, I see you have an oil filter with your 21 stud V8. Yours is 2 years newer than my '34. Enjoy your "new ride".

I really appreciate the steel bed. Not too many restored properly like that.
Kudos!

Exactly my feelings also.

I see so many high end restorations done where they do the bed floor in wood. To me that takes away from the looks of these trucks and to me, that should dampen the selling price. But it doesn't seem too.

Stands out as very wrong when viewing these pickups '35-'36 and even the '37's.

Also... 1 month update! My family and I are having a blast driving the pickup, you guys weren't kidding about the ATTENTION these beautys get!!!
News on the project front, I just had some Oak planed down at a local mill that I plan on ripping this weekend for sideboards will update with pictures as that progresses...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Beautiful truck! Not to nit-pick but I think the rear bumper is installed upside down.

SWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET RIDE.
Gotta LOVE the TRUCKS!!!

Jeff/Illinois 02-26-2021 11:05 PM

Re: Yet another 36 pickup post
 

Adam is right... about the rear bumper! Didn't catch that at first! I don't know how we missed that.

Easy to remedy:) Not a big deal and sure not taking away from your '36...she is a beauty. If you ever want to sell it I know a good home it can go to!!

I owned a '36 dealer demo. Did some 'reading up' on those.

Everyone familiar w/them?

Hello,

My '36 Ford pickup and I live in Modesto, Ca.

NOTES:
(1) I hope you get this in time to catch the American Graffiti Car Show on Sunday August 15th at McHenry Village in downtown Modesto (over 500 Cars and Trucks there).
(2) I hope you get this in time to catch the American Graffiti Car Show on Saturday and Sunday August 21st and 22nd at the Municipal Golf Course in Modesto.

Not too late to enter your nice looking '36 Ford pickup in either of these two American Graffiti Car Shows. Hope to see you there.

Bruce Smith in Modesto, Ca.
