This piece probably has little to no value (aside for a parts vehicle) to a Model A Ford enthusiast, but may have historical significance as a piece of American history.

If the present form of the vehicle is fairly intact, it might be worth fixing and preserving as-is... probably not worth the effort & expense to restore back to a sedan.

It would be quite a conversation piece at shows and cruises.

So far, I don't recall ever seeing a Model A truck conversion in person.

Lot's of nice, restored factory Ford trucks, but no home-mades.

Just my thoughts... we'd love to see some pictures...
These were my thoughts too. Definitely not a piece that Ford enthusiasts would place high value on but as far as historical significance its a cool truck/sedan. I might just get the truck mechanically sounds and drive it, leave everything else alone!
