The Ford Barn

2935ford · 06-18-2016, 02:50 PM

Just thought I would share some pics of a friend of mine '46 pickup.
It's in my shop for a little love.
Been sitting for years in a barn.

What a nice looking truck! I hope to find one like it someday to give my 40 Fordor some company.

That's a beauty, even the engine is the right color. Walt

What is that next to the right radiator inlet pipe my 47 does not have that . Or other 42 thru 47 s that I have seen. It looks like oil fill inlet. sunshine

Thats an oil filler pipe that Canadian vehicles had. My 48 car which was assembled here in NZ came ckd from the Commonwealth plant in Canada.
I think that filler was particlularly useful for COE trucks. It attaches to a boss on the front of the inlet manifold. Canadian inlet manifolds were more often than not aluminium too.

That's really nice, makes you want to go for a ride and forget about the modern world.

Yeah, it's a Canadian truck and that's the oil filler tube.

You can not believe how tight both doors close. The speedo odo has a little over 34k miles on it and wouldn't be surprised if that were original.
Now mind you, the previous owner tinkered with it for 40+ years but never had it on the road. He also had a 31 Model AA and an 8n that never hit the road while in his ownership.
There was no reg on the truck and took a little doing to get one but that's all done now.

So, just repair a bad rr inner tube, second gear, input shaft and slider and it's pretty much ready for the road!

Nice one! I put one suddenly on it's roof off a gravel road about 60 years ago. Looks like an Iltis tire on the spare? ..B.
