The Ford Barn

This relic will live again to haul brush and teach the grandkids to drive.

The car or the skeleton?

Seth Swoboda · 09-15-2015, 02:14 PM

Looks like Jimmy Hoffa

Look the chrome is good on the cowl band. It has to be in great condition.

Are the insides of the doors wood or metal?

What is the width of the doors.

Wood door inside means fordor.

Width of the door tells coupe vs tudor/ pick up.

Look at subrails to see if they are like pickup or other.

There is also something about the top of the cowl that is different from coupe to tudor/pickup.

I probably missed something, but that is the basics.

FWIW, I have heard more the one description of how the radiator shell and cowl band were in great condition so how bad can the body be.

No,, he wants it to run

Looks like a coupe... Slight arch to the top of the door.

Dave Mellor NJ · 09-15-2015, 10:53 PM

Top hinge looks like 4" down from the top. That would be a 2dr/pickup. The hinge is 3" down on a coupe or 4dr.

Wouldn't the pickup have a painted steel band?

jeep44 · 09-16-2015, 08:46 AM

That's me-waiting for my two-blade fan to come that's been backordered.

I have no idea on the vehicle, but the driver looks vaguely familiar.

I remember when these were found on about every farmer's tin pile. They would let you pick parts off of them.
