Beautiful! Can you tell us more about what you did, what work you had done to it etc.? Is the green color original? More pictures would be nice as well.

Gary, I think you know I've been a fan of yours for some time now.
Well done sir! You should be rightfully proud of your efforts!

Body and Paint work Engine and transmission rebuild Stainless grill trim restoration Frame, wheels and some other parts blasted and powder coated. Color was originally Dartmouth Green. What I did do is lots! And open up my wallet! The family history on my pickup goes back to the late '40s when my grandfather traded a '36 Ford sedan for it to use on the farm. I have the title from 1954 for this pickup with his name on it as well as my dad's title from 1980. Here's a shot from today suitable for Fords in the fall. |

Re: First 100 Miles!!! Or a touch more. My '39 Pickup
I didn't use to like any of the Ford trucks from 37 - 39. Kind of skipped over them in my mind until lately . . . kind of like the 35 Ford! Now, I kind of like these years - maybe even more than the 40 style variants.
You've done a really nice job - you should be totally proud of your truck and you'll have so much fun with it! I only wish I had it! |

Is the '37 considered a barrel nose pickup?

Re: First 100 Miles!!! Or a touch more. My '39 Pickup
That's a good question I often wondered that too. We had a '37 PU, nice little truck. At a real quick glance they remind you of a '35-'36 truck.
I believe I read once that the '37 was a transition truck, getting ready for the '38 re-design so in that sense it was kinda sorta but still a '35-'36, kinda sorta. |

The '38 and '39 are considered the "barrel nose" AKA "horse collar" trucks.
