The Ford Barn

47Sooner · 03-19-2017, 08:15 AM

Brought home a 36 to go with my 47. Maybe a bit too rustic for the Barn but I'm really enjoying driving this one. Took it out to breakfast this morning. Stock drivetrain with the exception of a 47 flathead. Didn't take too long to get the hang of the stock transmission. Can't pry the grin off of my face with this one.

Naw! It fits right in! Drive the heck out of it and know we're grinning right along with 'ya!

That part is there, fresh engine, tires, and brakes. Just have to go out and enjoy !

The best thing about driving a vehicle with that much patina is you don't have to worry about rock chips in the paint or parking lot dings! Just drive it and have fun with it.

Sid the Maineiac · 03-19-2017, 11:43 AM

Love your truck !! Patina plus ! Drive it like you stole it !!

V8COOPMAN · 03-19-2017, 01:51 PM

OOOOh, double yum.........taquitos for breakfast in a righteous old Ford pick-up! Hell, that truck even put a smile on MY face. I like it many-mucho! DD

I like it. It looks like something the average Joe could afford to buy.

Karl Wolf · 03-20-2017, 11:01 AM

Just rub out the paint and wax it!
Perfect.

That's cool! Don't be afraid to use them too...

Ol' Ron · 03-20-2017, 07:08 PM

I think it's beautiful, just keep it runnin and enjoy it.

Art Newland · 03-20-2017, 07:46 PM

I love it! I really wanted a 30's pickup but no place to put my legs... settled on a 49.

I could see the 30's pickup would be a tight fit for some. Took it out on Interstate 44 yesterday , quite a challenge with those peep mirrors and fast traffic, but it did well. Still need to do something with a floor mat and a few other adjustments. Really like how the door windows roll up them move forward.

You sure do spend a lot of time eating BREAKFAST. DD

Ken Crans · 03-23-2017, 05:29 PM

they don't make floor mats for 35, 36 pickups. what i did was, i bought a mat from Napa parts store. they had ones that you see in front of businesses or in stores. they are made of rubber and a low pile carpet. just cut to fit. also i used to work at a u-haul store, i got some of their moving blankets. they are like a jute materiel. it helped keep the sound down...Brendan

Geez you'd have to be a big guy not to fit into a 35 cab onwards..
I believe they call them "smokers windows"

dwick01 · 03-24-2017, 04:51 AM

That is one nice truck!
