This is one great parts chaser, dump runner and dragster pusher. Something my family knows as Pete.

Wow great trucks. In the 80's dad and I saved a old 46 Ford panel truck from an ol wrecking yard. We totally rebuilt the engine from a shop manual. She ran great with that v-8 flathead. We painted it up royal blue. It had the spare tire that mounted in the passenger side of the body. It was one of those great fun projects, then after she was done we missed working on her (that was alot of the fun) We ended up trading it for a newer pick-up. I sure wish I could track her down now. We lived in Tulare Ca. at the time. She was all stock. I'm just hoping she's still out there (and that she's not been rodded) I'd like to know if anyone out there has seen her around.

I saw her just last week down by San Diego stopped beside the freeway just after midnight. Looks like she's being used by a farmer to transport his field hands but I think they were lost, they had stopped a Border Patrol truck to ask directions and some of them had decided to run across country so they wouldn't be late for work. ..B.

It's been sitting for about 40 years. I have taken the wooden top off for now, I want to restore it and put it back on but I kinda like the look without it too.

I really love this two tone paint job, usually just the fenders are painted a different color than the body on 48-52 pickups.

Ok, I'll weigh in here - here's my 41 as recently purchased:

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...40pickup01.jpg

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...linzi_2220.jpg

It's a bit of a Mongrel, it has a 9" rear, the x-members been hached out, and it has no engine and box.

It has a later bed whick I am busy narrowing back to the correct width. I am trying to find x-member parts here in the UK but it is proving difficult.

I already have Early ford running gear in 3 cars, so I am thinking of retaining the 9" rear it already has, and setting it up with a 312 Y-block and SROD overdrive box I have been saving for just such a project.

Outwardly it will end up looking pretty stock, except for 15" wheels and radials.

Mart.

As a new member here, this thread looks like a good place to introduce myself and post some pictures of my truck. I've had this truck since 1974 and use it to transport grain and wine grapes.

About a year and a half ago, I finally did something to fix it up after just doing minimal maintenance over the years.

It got a new wood bed, body work and new paint, engine rebuild, transmission and steering box work, and all new wiring.

In the photos you can see before and after.

It is pretty much all original with 59ab engine, a 4 speed truck transmission followed by a 3 speed transmission. No 2-speed rear end.

Here is one of the New Zealand '41/'42 COE's. Saw this one near Nelson about 12yrs ago. Believe it comes from Blenheim in the Sth Island.
There were a number of car & commercial imports during the War era that do not show up on Ford Canada export figures to NZ. They came in for govt. services & agricultural sector.

Re: An Early Ford Truck Post... Let's see them.
 

Bill Richardson also has one of those in his truck museum, but I havent' seen it in a long time. I read that it was imported by the Air Force.

For interests sake, anyone visiting the bottom half of New Zealand who is into trucks, NEEDS to visit that museum - some amazing trucks in there, including one of 3(?) remaining 1940 Dodge Airflow Texaco tankers. There's much more to Invercargill than Burt Munro!

Surfing in the web recently found a photo of a truck, I think is a ford 32ī the curiously of the photo is the inscription on the sides ( Holinger- Weidmann) (quesos y hielo) (Humboldt, provincia de Santa Fe). Why? because I live in the province Santa Fe near to the city of Humboldt. (Holinger- Weidmann) the company was selling cheese and ice. When they bought the truck, the company was send a picture and a negative of this truck to the magazine (mundo ford) with the hope that the manager of the magazine publicate the photo...
I never saw a body like this. I donīt know the truck was fabricate in USA or is a modify truck constructed in Argentina.

Hi Ted,

Finally got time to take some pictures in the cab of my truck. Other than new gauges to replace the old non-working gauges, I haven't done anything to the inside of the cab yet. That's another project.

Taking the entire engine cover off is not easy. So just have pictures of the passenger side panel removed. Have to take the passenger seat out to get it out. Didn't take the panel on the driver's side out, but the view is similar. You can see the 2 shift levers for the 2 transmissions.

Most engine work is done via one of the side access openings, or for the distributor, by lying on my back and reaching up to unbolt the distributor. Once loose, it takes some work to get it out past the 6 blade truck fan.

I've spent several weeks in Invercargill but I thought someone told me the museum wasn't open to the public.

Even though I didn't see the museum, Invercargill is still one of my favorite places. And I really liked Queen's Park.
