1937 Pickup Bed

[GB SISSON]

The tailgate goes to the back of the vehicle.... Sorry, couldn't resist. It's dead of winter and I live in the middle of nowhere and I'm bored.. In reality I welcome you wholeheartedly to the Fordbarn forums, and not sure if you can post pictures before you have ten posts, but us pickup fans would love pictures and some history on your new acquisition.

Thanks so much for the reply!! I totally understand about being bored and love a person who adds humor to a conversation! I am 72 yrs old and a home improvement contractor - close to retiring - I THINK! I have a service connected disability from Air Force days (Vietnam era). I purchased my 37 Ford Pickup Deluxe from a man in CA about 15 yrs ago. It was originally owned by a dealership owner (have his name written down somewhere!). He could afford what he wanted and was told he preferred driving a pickup. Having the ways and means, he order this pickup with most every Ford accessory I believe Ford offered in 37!!!!!!! Most accessories were there but not in great shape. I have had all accessories rebuilt and/or restored. This took many years as I am having it restored as original as possible. Went thru 3 restoration guys until I found a GREAT one - only 1.5 hrs from my house in Knoxville, TN. First guy took it all apart 10 years ago. This is why I am unsure how something’s go back on! Current guy has restored earlier and later models but not a 37. A few accessories: chrome grille and windshield frame, S/S hood side louvre trim, clock on glove box, 37 radio, reading light on passenger wiper motor cover, rear sliding window, side mount spare tires with spyder hubcaps, Unity Sportlight Spotlight, light in glovebox, light under hood, and banjo steering wheel. You can see why restoration/repair has taken so long!!! This dealership is no longer in business but have the name of it as well. Starting with the bed question but restoration guy probably will have more!!! Thanks again for the reply!!!
