Newbie: 1936 Ford Deluxe Truck Model 67

[Model51]

Good luck and I hope you get this truck. While everyone says they are cool to look at, they do take up room, parts are heavy, they only really carry one passenger and go down the road a bit slow. None of this had held me back, but others just enjoy watching. I have filled my garage with two Model 51 trucks and lots of parts so I can't take any more on.
Did you share the image of the dash with the ash tray and cigar lighter. If not, it would be interesting to see.

Nice truck for sure.

Moosemoon,
Thanks for the interior picture. It's great to see an original truck. The ashtray and cigar lighter are exactly where I thought they would be installed. It's also interesting to see the dash cover painted in body color along with the windshield pillar garnish moldings in body color.
I'd love to put my eyes on that truck in person. I just assume it's on the West Coast?

Have not reached price agreement with buyer - think we might be too far apart.

Thanks for all your input!

One final thought. This truck may have been repainted. The cover on the dash and the windshield post garnish moldings should be black, not body color. Maybe you can use this to your negotiating advantage?

Thumbs up!

Thanks Model51 - even if it has been repainted I don’t think he will come down enough to where I am comfortable. I have appreciated all the info and comments.

If I get some time and he hasn’t sold it, I might go check it out in person. Need 3 day to do that. Not time I have right now.

He says he plans to put it up for auction on another site. I wish him well.

Looks like it on eBay 20k or best offer.

If the VIN represents the seven digits after "BB18-", then the engine-transmission assembly was built in late August 1936. This fits with the deluxe package availability starting in May 1936. If it was assembled in Dearborn, then it's likely from September 1936 and near the end of the Model 51 production run.
While this is a wonderful truck and I'd love to have it in my garage, the price is still too much for my budget, never mind that I don't have a spare garage bay either. Hope it goes to a good home and is treated with respect as it should.

Evidently, by this post, the 1936 Ford Deluxe closed cab models 51 & 67 did have a dome light. This is in reference to my post yesterday about not being able to find a part #. I have the green book, 1936 passenger and trucks chassis parts list, and the 1935-1936 body parts catalog. Possibly I am missing something?

• Chrome Radiator Shell: This is the same part as supplied with the standard truck but fully chromium-plated instead of being painted body color.
• Chrome Windshield Frame: The windshield frame remained unchanged other than being chromium-plated.
• Dual Horns: A second horn, located on the right-side fender, was added. Both horns have a chromium-plated top cover and sound horn. The main body remained painted black.
• Dual Wipers: A second wiper was added on the right-hand side and was attached, and driven by, the standard left-hand wiper.
• Chromium-Plated Mirror and Arm: The mirror arm, mirror body and hinge pin are chromium-plated.
• Cigar Lighter and Ash Tray: A cigar lighter and ash tray are installed on the dash. Period literature shows the ash tray mounted in the center of the dash and the cigar lighter to the left of the instrument cluster.
• Dome Light: A dome light was added which required installation of a wood support block between the windshield header and top support beam of the cab along with a wire from the fuse-resistor panel.
• Sliding Back Window: This replaced the standard non-opening back window.
• Sun Visor: A sun visor was mounted to the windshield header on the driver’s side.
