Tipper... That's about as neat a name as Ute and Sloper! Are there any more unique names of Fords Down Under?

ford38v8, You asked what other names are unique to Australia. How about "Single Spinner" for this 1949 Ford Custom Sedan |

Re: 1935-1936 Ford Model 51 Trucks - New Book
If the 1949 and 1950 Fords were known as "Single Spinners", the 1951 Ford Custom Sedans were known as "Twin Spinners" |

Re: 1935-1936 Ford Model 51 Trucks - New Book
There is an appendix in the book which provides a small bit of information regarding 1935 and 1936 Ford trucks made outside the USA. This includes Canada, Australia, England, Germany and a few other locations. I've had help from Merc man from oz, a few others in Australia and England. It's hard to get good information on "foreign" Fords but I consider what I did get to be very interesting.

I hope the people at the Early V8 club have plans on continuing this series with more books on specifically Trucks. They're sorely lacking and would fill a big void. So many owners of these commercial vehicles have no where to turn if they want to do a stock restoration.

Re: 1935-1936 Ford Model 51 Trucks - New Book
While I know next to nothing about the Early V8 club, I do recall that James Wagner is or was their truck advisor. His excellent 416 page 'Ford Trucks Since 1905' covers the range of ford trucks but certainly not in the detail required for a museum type restoration. Until others tackle the remainder of the years, Wagner's treatise can fill some gaps if copies are still available. My copy is torn through the spine and dog eared after 40 plus years of research. I look forward to owning a copy of this new book!

Would anyone know of a good book on Ford's COE Trucks?

Re: 1935-1936 Ford Model 51 Trucks - New Book
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I never knew how difficult and time-consuming pulling all the needed information together would be. it's in the home stretch now so it should be printed and available for shipping in the first quarter of 2023 and maybe my life will return to normal.

Re: 1935-1936 Ford Model 51 Trucks - New Book
With regard to 52flthed's comment about the Early Ford V8 club publishing more truck books, in my opinion, the issue is that someone needs to step up and write one. It would be nice for someone to volunteer to lead and write another truck book. I've written my book completely of my own initiative and no one from the Early Ford V8 club ever approached me with a request for a book, so I'm not sure how any more will be written.
I'm only knowledgeable for Model 51 trucks, nothing earlier than 1935 nor later than 1936, so this is my one and only book. All it takes to write one of these books is a few thousand extra hours, a bunch of money for travel to the Benson Ford Research Center and other places, and a desire to dig out the information where ever it might be. Then write it all up, make sure it's all correct and hand it over with a smile. Simple. |

Re: 1935-1936 Ford Model 51 Trucks - New Book
Dave, one motivation for me to write the book is to document and preserve all I know about these trucks. I worry that there may be some folks out there who know as much or more about other truck years but since we are all getting older, the knowledge dies with them.
I know I've learned so much from many others who took the time to write down what they know and share it, like you have with the 1932 book. Hopefully others will enjoy my book and use it as a reference. Maybe there's a truck, or pickup truck, guy out there who is willing to take on another book in the EFV8 Club series. I certainly hope so. |
