Default 41 truck

My new ride. This 41 has been in a building for over 20 years waiting for me. Very straight no rust ever.

I've always thought that the 40/41 Ford pickups, were the most beautiful pickups ever made.

Jerry,
What engine is in it? For some reason I think the 41's had 4 engine options: 60 hp v/8. 80 hp v8, 6 cylinder and a 4 cylinder. Maybe someone knows for sure.
Great looker!
John

Jerry, that's a beautiful pu!! You have a way of finding and building some very nice vehicles. I have liked each one that you have brought to the Florida bash. Maybe we will get to see this '41 pu next year?? I think the '40 & '41 Ford pickups were the best looking of the bunch! ☺

GB. I received a call from a friend of a friend saying her husband had passed away and she was selling things. The man was a pack rat never threw anything away, we were the first to buy. there are several buildings still pad locked. she promised us she would let us be the first to look when they are opened. we bought two trucks, toys, bicycles auto parts and antiques. We were lucky and blessed a once in a lifetime pick.

Good looking truck! That pickup will be a lot of fun to drive. There is an unrestored original '41 ford pickup waiting for me too, if I can ever get my uncle to sell it to me. Your pickup is an inspiration to me.
