What year is this truck?
I ran across this truck in the woods in Stehekin, WA. You can only get there by boat. The engine is gone. Does the steering wheel give it away? Is that a spark advance lever? Looking for what you think. The "W" on the firewall is the same as a '33 (I think), but what about the steering wheel?

Re: What year is this truck?
Too bad. Look at the drivers side fender; it appears that wasn't bad when it was left there.
Why do they have to shoot holes in everything? |

I think the parking brake handle may still be good. Interesting that the gas tank is still there.

Re: What year is this truck?
Hard to tell from the photo but does it have parallel rear leaf springs? If so, a 3/4 ton or larger?

It was a logging operation and it was left to be cannibalized.

Re: What year is this truck?
the fire wall is desirable to the fools that put modern motors in the model 40's, as it fits rite in, but has a bit of a set back for more clearance.

51504bat...I do not believe that Ford made a 3/4 ton until 38. The pictures appear to show the remains of a 1 1/2 ton. The headlight buckets on it appear to have been changed out at some point after seal beams became available.

Re: What year is this truck?
My guess would be '35 as I don't see the reinforcement "X" stamped in the side of the cowl. Hard to tell in the pictures.

Re: What year is this truck?
My guess is '36 because of the "hand-holds" in the doors to grab the doors when closing. Or maybe a '35 with '36 doors.

Re: What year is this truck?
Hi Everyone. I hope this doesn't muddy things in the discussion of commercial/truck ID's, but in this thread about '35 Roadster doors (https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=302899) DavidG added to the information with:

Re: What year is this truck?
I'm guess it's a '35 Model 51, short WB. These are pictures of my, unmolested '35. It looks the same to me. If you look lose you can see the "X" , same s mine and if you look even closer, you might make out the lower W stamping below the upper one. Look more and you can see the patent plate in the middle of the X.
I also took one of the door grip and molding.

Re: What year is this truck?
1936. There is a difference between 1935 and 1936 where the windshield post meets the cowl.
