Here's my dad's 1933 Ford BB same year he was born. It's a tribute to him now and a great truck for me.

283 Chevy, stock everything else. It does have a vacuum brake booster over the mechanical brakes.

Tell her Happy Birthday. I’m sure she has some great stories about the vehicles of the past.

Once it is stovebolt powered, it's no longer a Ford.

I guess the Studebaker bed on my '39 p/u means it's no longer a Ford?

Hardly the same as the heart, the engine.

Chevy43,
I like your big Ford truck it looks to be in great condition too. Welcome to the Ford Barn!
I am sure your truck has many stories. Looks like you use it for actual work. Those mirrors are what i am looking for sometimes on my ragged ol' truck!
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl

I will add that's it's a very handsome pickup box with those art deco stake pockets and good looking rear fenders. So, while it isn't original it does get some style points.

I'll be running down to the Bay Area again to get more antique trucks out of my dads place. I'm pulling this 18' tilt deck trailer. I'll get a picture of the load I'm pulling home with the 33BB if I make it!

All bakes carefully adjusted. Surge brakes on the trailer and Vacuum boosted mechanical on the truck.

It turns out this truck has the 5.14 gears that somebody swapped into it at some point in the past!
Too bad they didn't get the right speedo drive gear to go with it.

GB SISSON · 11-03-2023, 12:03 AM

'Down to the Bay area from WHERE?' Holy Cow, even if it's close I consider this to be a real life adventure. I did similar trips in my younger days, but not in modern day traffic. I wish you a great and safe trip. AND get some good pictures!
