1935? Ford p/u I.D.? Value?

[Vanspeed]

Ok guys, I have known about this truck for over 20 years. I grew up with the grandson. I recently asked about it and he said the old '38. Now I know it is not a 38. What year is this truck? I am thinking it's a '35. It is a half ton, can't see the bed from my pics. Is there anything from the pics that will confirm a year? I am trying to get him to sell it to me so I need good info. Value?

Hi Everyone, I think the badge near the front of the hood sides means it's a 35 hood side.

[Mike in AZ]

36...badge in middle of hood side for 35.....grille is deeper/thicker from front to back on 36 also....my guess....lol....Mike

[BlueSunoco]

It's a '36.

Value? Hard to say I wouldn't get too carried away I'm thinking maybe 700 bucks

[raybee]

It is a 1936 and the grille alone is worth 5 to 700 bucks. Ray

Yes, it's a 36. Grill, hood sides are definitely 36.

Great thankS guys. He is adamant about getting to her fixed up one day. I told him to sell it to me or atleast get her pulled inside. It was a lot "redder" 20 years ago.

36 had the V8 on the grille ornament,35 did not.

It appears from the pictures that the grill is in good condition, although I cannot see the bottom of the grill. If the bottom is in good condition as the rest appears to be, the grill is easily worth upwards of $500. With the stainless grill surround you can add $75-$100, possibly more. If the inner grill panel is not cancered, they are hard to find with the correct one for the pickup being different from the 1 1/2 ton truck one. If someone is doing a correct restoration, they are hard to find in restorable condition. The below grill pan for a 36 is different than the one in 37 and is hard to find ones not rotted out. The hood ornament appears to have part of the V in the V-8 missing. The front bumper is there and OEM front bumpers are difficult to find. The presence of the bumper means the bumper brackets are there. If the bumper is restorable, that is another easy $100 with the brackets. The headlights and stands are there as are the headlight doors. If not cancered out, the buckets, stands, and headlight doors could easily bring around $100. I only see half of the hood. The windshield frame is there but it may have rust issues beyond surface rust. The dash rail, windshield side garnish are there and the side garnish can be difficult to find. The rear window garnish appears to be there. If the inner fenders are there, those are also hard to come by. The rocker seems to be gone. If the visible parts are usable and the bottom of the grill is as solid as what is shown, you have at least $1000 in parts. If the wiper motor covers are there and usable, they can be pricey. If the frame is solid, that would be a major plus, if the seat riser and toeboard are there and usable, another plus. The horn rod is there and if usable another plus. Same if the steering column is complete and usable...key for the ignition, etc. Rear bumper and brackets, gas tank usable?, are the rear fenders there and usable, spare tire carrier there? Bed usable? Title? Doors solid? Cannot see the cab corners? Runningboards usable? All would add up in terms of parted out value just as all add up if they are not and someone wants to restore it as opposed to parting it out. If the bottom of the grill is nice, I would offer $1000 and take my chances on the usability of the garnish, inners, windshield frame, and the like. I would offer more if the rear fenders were there and reparable....same with the bed. Based upon the pictures, it would be quite a project and costly in terms of both time and money.

Its kinda hard to tell for sure but the the headlight rims look to be 40-41 truck, with a nice (possibly also the 40-41). A little hard to find and a nice conversion.

A lot worse than this one are being or have been restored/street rodded.

Karl...I enlarged the image as much as I could, and I believe you have a good eye. The 40 and 41 headlight doors have a curved front edge instead of a fairly sharp front edge and those appear to be the later headlight doors made for the sealbeam. If they are sealbeam doors, I think they would be 40's not 41's. The 40 headlight door is wider than the 41, much like the 36 passenger is wider than the 35 passenger and 35-39p/u.

40 - 41 commercial had headlites built into the fender. 40 -41 trucks had free standing lites. My 39 PU had been converted to sealed beam and the headlite door fit the bulb perfectly.

Sitting on the ground I would sure want to look underneath to see if anything is left!!!

[oldandtired]

V12Bill...The OEM 38/9 pickup bucket is the same as the 35 passenger as I am sure you know. They same headlight door was used on 35 passenger, 38/9 commercial, and 35-37 commercial and trucks. I have sealbeams in one of my 37 pickups and I am using the OEM year correct headlight bucket and headlight doors and they fit with no problems, just as your 39 pickup would because the outer dimensions of the front of the buckets are the same. The 40-41 truck sealbeam buckets had a factory sealbeam bucket with headlight doors that curve inward at the front edge. The 40 and 41 truck sealbeam buckets will interchange with the 35 passenger car and the 38/9 pickups if you want to run a sealbeam with no adapter. You can also put them on a 36 passenger with a truck spacer to accomodate the longer shaft but I haven't seen anyone do that. The 40/41 headlight stands are the same dimensions as the 38/9 pickup stands and will bolt up directly but have a marker light built into the stands. They are a very nice way of having front turn signals on a 38/9 pickup.

"I'm going to get it fixed up someday". How many times have you heard that story and it just continues to sit outside deteriorating each day.

[Bob NH]

36 for sure, there is a radius where the cab and cowl meet, no removable door garnish, deeper grill etc. But as noted, many very usable items and if parted out could put some good "jingle" in yo pocket !

[BlueSunoco]

Yes, that truck will just sit and rot away to nothingness especially now the owner realizes someone wants it. You see it all the time. Too bad.

It's got a good start now

That '36 truck looks very much like what I started out with, got it for $600, then $3000 later painted blue!
