Nice truck.

Good looking truck. Nice that you found a survivor. Can't be too many like it around any more.

Krylon32 · 01-07-2024, 09:31 AM

Great looking truck. As a bonus it looks like it might have a 25 louver hood?

GB SISSON · 01-07-2024, 11:53 AM

That IS a real nice example. The bed is very nicely built with the drop down side boards and beautiful latching. The wood is remarkably well preserved, as is the entire vehicle it's mounted on. Wouldn't I love to stumble upon that truck!

Deuce lover,
You need to buy this! That is a really nice 32 flat bed truck! As mentioned the wood rack looks nice! Tires look to be still in serviceable condition. Is that a dump bed? Yes extra louvers in the hood too? Might need a radiator cap?

Regards,
Chris and Cheryl

Sugarmaker, Someone already bought this and his friend flipped me the pics.

GB SISSON · 01-07-2024, 02:46 PM

What's with the Ford license plate on the right? Looks like how a ford dealer would have sold it.

I understand. What are the plans for it? I saw that "FORD" script plate on the right side rear.

Sheldon,

The headlamps have a different shape to them. Presumably they are Marchals like French '32 passenger cars?

flatford8 · 01-07-2024, 07:15 PM

I was wondering if it dumps too. It looks like the tailgate hinges at the top but I can’t see if it has hinges where the frame/bed join at the rear. Definitely a nice truck !!.........Mark

GB SISSON · 01-07-2024, 08:40 PM

Maybe the long 157" WB?

25 louver hood too!!!! Funny, looking at the latest two pictures there doesn't appear to be a filler neck on the radiator shell.

Must have done some yard work sometime in its past. Note the pintle on the front axle.
