WOW beautiful '36 Ford Pickup, LOVE IT

Welcome and THANKS for posting a picture of your '36! You can't beat a '35 or '36 Ford pickup, a sharper looking truck was never built!

Only problem with your post is the title wording 'Yet another 36 pickup post' -----no such thing bud, I can't see enough of these trucks!! No way not 'Yet another....'!!

We've got a '36 pickup in Washington Blue and as I told another fellow on FB, the only thing about the truck is, the attention it gets. People are constantly pulling up beside me with their phones taking pictures and giving me the thumbs up. Be prepared. You are going to get a LOT of that with this beauty!!!

Take care

Jeff

Yep, neat little truck for certain. I especially appreciate the fact it's for the most part - stock.
You're gonna enjoy this one!

A beautiful looking pickup, I see you have an oil filter with your 21 stud V8. Yours is 2 years newer than my '34. Enjoy your "new ride".

I really appreciate the steel bed. Not too many restored properly like that.
Kudos!

Exactly my feelings also.

I see so many high end restorations done where they do the bed floor in wood. To me that takes away from the looks of these trucks and to me, that should dampen the selling price. But it doesn't seem too.

Stands out as very wrong when viewing these pickups '35-'36 and even the '37's.

Adam is right... about the rear bumper! Didn't catch that at first! I don't know how we missed that.

Easy to remedy Not a big deal and sure not taking away from your '36...she is a beauty. If you ever want to sell it I know a good home it can go to!!

Hello,

My '36 Ford pickup and I live in Modesto, Ca.

NOTES:
(1) I hope you get this in time to catch the American Graffiti Car Show on Sunday August 15th at McHenry Village in downtown Modesto (over 500 Cars and Trucks there).
(2) I hope you get this in time to catch the American Graffiti Car Show on Saturday and Sunday August 21st and 22nd at the Municipal Golf Course in Modesto.

Not too late to enter your nice looking '36 Ford pickup in either of these two American Graffiti Car Shows. Hope to see you there.

Bruce Smith in Modesto, Ca.
