FNG 35 Pickup
Hi all, new guy here. I’ve got a long term project of a 35 pickup. Already found some great stuff on here so I really appreciate the info passed around. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of dumb questions to come.
The truck is in pretty good shape, only real rusted out areas are the windshield frame (I’ll have to get a new one) and the bottom back side of the cab, which I hear is pretty normal. The engine is frozen, and I know the transmission isn’t the original (s/n) doesn’t match frame. Anyways good to be here, thanks again! |

Re: FNG 35 Pickup
I like it too! Welcome to the fold. Looks like you will be looking for a pickup box. Over the years I have bought two very nice ford boxes with fenders from the 'trailer' section on craigslist. They have the advantage that you can hook it on your bumper and head home. Be careful, your wife will want to fill it up at the second hand and antique stores on your return trip. Nice TRUCK!

Re: FNG 35 Pickup
Trucks are COOL. if you can, go to the Turlock swap meet last weekend of January and you may find some essential parts. The hunt is on!!!!!

I didn’t know about the swap meet and we were planning a trip down to Yosemite soon anyway so that might workout great! |

Re: FNG 35 Pickup
Welcome to the “Barn”......I like the full fenders with the flatbed.....someone will correct me if I’m wrong......the passenger car windshield frame may fit......opens your search quite a bit.....Mark

Re: FNG 35 Pickup
Maybe I'm just an old hick, but what does FNG mean?

Re: FNG 35 Pickup
Good luck with your "new project"!! You have some good things to work with your '35. It took me many years to get my '34 to where it is today. Take your time and do not rush, it will be fun and the end result will be worth all the hard work!!

Re: FNG 35 Pickup
Passenger car w/s frame is different. I have a truck w/s frame but shipping to ME from GA might be a little expensive.
