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

[kiwitony]

Hi guys not to poach this thread but I went through the Richardson museum just before Bill died.A bunch of us were touring the south island on our motor bikes and I called Bill and he told us to come around.The most amazing collection and he told us all about each truck and were he found them.As I'm into 37s he had several.He was really into the dual axil trucks and showed us all the different ways drive was transmitted to the back axil.Thornton was one company that ford used but there were others.My film camera shredded the film so I lost all the photos.The most amazing thing was the beauty of the american trucks as compared to the english and european ones.Even in the 50s and 60s the english trucks had no driver comfort what so ever.Cheers Tony.

The Merc is a work truck as well as my summer beater.




Scrounging for Firewood, This load didn't even put it on the overloads.

Pickups have always been my favorite. 'Lil Red in the snow is my current driver. The wine colored was my first 34pu found on a farm in pieces near Huntingdon PA. There was not enough left to put back together original so I did the next best thing to get it back in service. Wish I had her back!
Oh yea - my hair was a little darker then!

Heres some I've owned in the past


The 46 was a real beater, but ran and drove great. My first flathead V8! Went to England!



This 51 F-1 I bought from the original owners nephew. It had a flathead 6 and a non syncro 4 speed. It was super low miled (50,000) and ran drove extremly well and tight. Everything worked. Had to sell it when I got laid off

Here's my 39 purchased in 2010 It is all orignal evrything is there except THE SEATS I think it deserves restoring.
