How About An F1?

So I’ve given up on my hunt for a 40/41 Ford Pickup for a couple of reasons. First, the prices on these haulers have gotten so high that it doesn’t really make sense for a guy like me to use one as it was intended – a truck. Secondly, I’m doing a lot of wood working lately and the 40/41 bed isn’t wide enough for a standard sheet of plywood.

So, what now? Actually, I’ve started looking for an F1… or maybe even an early F100. Anyone have a line on a nice solid driver with no rust? Look me up if so!

WANTED: 1940/41 Ford Pickup

Hey fellas… I’m looking for a good 1940 to ’41 Ford Pickup driver. Something solid with no rust and driving would fit the bill. If you have something, shoot me a line!

A bit off topic for the Ford Barn, but some of you guys might be interested in this… Essentially, we’ve released The Jalopy Journal #3. It isn’t a magazine. It’s a book. And it’s a book unlike anything you’ve ever read before. Flipping through it is akin to walking through a museum. It has white walls, white floors, gorgeous abstract art, and a furiously inebriated curator. And that’s really the best way I can describe it.

Anyway, you can get a copy here.

Rick bought the enigmatic chassis on eBay in 2009 without knowing much about its history. He just thought it was cool… and had to have it.
