This week I was watching 2 prewar Ford V8 flathead pickups on EBAY #1 a 1938 Ford pickup in Calif in driving condition offered at no reserve was bid up to about $8250 when it was pulled with days to go and marked as sold and #2 a 1941 Ford V8 pickup former senior status with AACA with buy it now price of $27900 was pulled and marked as sold , I guess somebody is still wanting these early prewar Ford V8 pickups !

Re: Prewar Ford V8 pickups
What??? Like there's something NOT to love about them? ok, the enclosed driveline, but that is IT for me......I think a '34 would be my holy grail pickup, but a 33 or 35 would do in a pinch.

Re: Prewar Ford V8 pickups
I'd be okay with a 1929 Model A pickup with a flathead v8 stuffed in it.

Re: Prewar Ford V8 pickups
Working on a 35 BUT if a driver showed up that I could get into and drive with maybe a couple fix ups I could be interested. Mine is a ways off but is all steel and most of the heavy stuff is done. or a 32 5 window trunk model!! kx

Re: Prewar Ford V8 pickups
Pre-war pickups are "great" and fun to drive. They don't go fast but they get you there. Have had my for 50 years and restored it in 2007.

Re: Prewar Ford V8 pickups
Try to find an unrestored '35 pickup. Glad I found mine when I did.
Edit: Felix, would like to see more pics, engine, etc., if you have them. 1935pu.jpg
