Do you have the rear fenders? Does it have a clear title? What parts are missing? Is the cab painted or is it primer? I live in sunland calif. which is not to far from you. I might be intrested depending on the answers. Thanks Tracy V Black

Hey there Tracy, my brother lives in Sunland. This car came with no fenders or title. The engine was a rebuilt that someone sold me, but I only saw it run on a bench. Its paint on the cab(which I have more of). After some minor rust repair it was sprayed. I saved it from being turned into a chopped ratrod. Too many full cabs are being chopped these days.

It was a true barn find. It was pulled into a barn on a apple farm over 40+ years ago and sat there. Someone showed it to a builder and he decided to start the restoration, but soon decided he wanted to chop it, so I bought it off him. I am sure theres a list of stuff one would need. This was my first Model A build so I did not get far before life threw me a curve ball and now I have to sell it. I will accept all reasonable offers on her. Thanks for the reply. Jay

Just my 2 cents here, but I would say that this truck is well worth the $4500 that your asking. If you werent in CA I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Chromeandlight · 08-27-2010, 05:58 PM

I will get on that tomorrow and send them right out. This is a package deal. I dont want to start parting it out.

ArkansasBob · 08-27-2010, 09:05 PM

I agree!!!!! If it didn't cost me a $1k to go get it, I would have done bought it!!

michael4468 · 08-28-2010, 07:47 AM

would you consider 2500.00 for it? also can this be shipped and how much would it cost me as i live in ny. here is my phone number 315 346-1737 if you prefer discussing it that way, or email me back at [email protected] and let me know thanks.

Reds34 · 08-28-2010, 07:36 PM

I agree with Dan Baron, that seems like a very fair price to me. If it was closer to the East Coast I would be on it like stink on a monkey. Just my $0.02.

Thanks guys. I sure fell in love with it fast. Sad to see it go, but it wont be the last piece of american steel to be in my driveway. More pics coming.

While looking for my A, came across a steel top indented f/wall late 31 that somebody had just bought a new NARROW bed for it, go figure. Price he was asking plus getting a widebed just too much, had to pass on it.

hello, my pop is really interested in this, if you still have it, can you let us know? his name is Bill and can be reached at 951 491-4673, thanks!

Chromeandlight · 08-28-2010, 09:43 PM

I had sent an e-mail to him today. yes the car is available. I will try and call tomorrow during the day.

svermeil · 08-29-2010, 09:07 PM

Is the truck still available? (8/29/10) Stan Vermeil

Chromeandlight · 08-29-2010, 09:30 PM

I have a buyer, but with all things, if he does not come through i will keep the thread posted.

fordguy2010 · 08-30-2010, 08:04 PM

Could anyone tell me the difference between the 31 pickup with a narrow bed vs a wide bed. Besides the obvious, I mean....Thanks.

Chromeandlight · 08-30-2010, 08:07 PM

Just the bed and the rear fenders. Also because it was a late edition to the lineup, you also get the 32 inspired indented firewall.

fordguy2010 · 09-05-2010, 01:48 PM

I am the buyer. I am retired and think this will be a good project for a retired guy. This is a very good forum and I will need a lot of help from you guys. It will be good to work on my own project, instead of other peoples, for a change. I have cleaned out a section of my two car garage, gotten the money, arranged for transportation from Wilmington to Hesperia, exchange to take place tomorrow as we decided on the phone with a "verbal handshake". I plan to be there about noon. Just let me know where it is located, so I can put the address into my GPS. Thanks a lot.
