Had it delivered to my house via freight company, When the guy opened the door to reveille my prize, I was very disappointed, not about the condition, it was really really good condition, no rust thru at all, but it wasn't a '36 it was a '37. It was sold to him years ago as a '36 Ford, that was on the bill of sale, no complaints, it was a great deal, just not what I wanted. I kept the bed, replaced the tailgate, and it is on my '36 PU today! Gave the rest to my lil brother to play with.

there will often be something for sale that is not the correct year for example 1940 half ton's,,,,which are often 1941's! I actually like the 41's better!
