Default 37 Pickup

Good evening all,

It's been quite a long time since I have posted anything but thought I would now. I have been looking at a 37 Ford pickup that is located out by Wichita, so today the wife and I made the 190 mile trip from home, to go look it over.

This little truck has had a lot of work done, including new wiring harness and is converted to 12 volt. It's not necessarily a show truck as the paint is not that good, but I like it an I made a deal on it today.

The title is missing the 18 in front of the serial number, and that would mean trouble for me, trying to get it titled in Missouri, so the owner is going to get the title corrected, which will take several weeks, then I can go out and get the truck.

I have owned a lot of antique vehicles in the last 35 years, but I am looking forward to having this little truck, as I have never owned one this old.

Damn good looking truck, and super smart on your part to insist on the title correction. I’d say probably a majority of buyers wouldn’t be that intelligent.

Our state does and ID/OD, where you have to take any vehicle purchased out of state to an inspection station and those people have to verify that the VIN, or in this case, serial number on the title matches the number on the vehicle and if it don't, it's a lengthy process, and back and forth to the Motor Vehicle Incpection division of the hughway partol several times, and can take several months.
