I think you found a 40 standard. Great find, regardless.

[oneoldtruckguy]

I bet your right on the 40. The guy that owns it swore it was a 38 which I new wasn't correct. I was thinking it was a 39 standard. Thanks

Wow, What a great find. The sheet metal looks OK to? Definitely a 1940 Ford Standard Coupe. If it had been a 1939 model, there would be no Quarter Windows, the Windscreen would have opened and the Windscreen Wipers would have been mounted at the top. I hope you took it home with you?

[mercman from oz]

That 1950 Ford F3 you found is none to shabby. It looks like it just needs a battery and you could drive it away. It is hard to believe these old cars survive so well in snow country?

If you look at the rear fenders, a '40 standard will have only a single tail light of the " Chevron" style, a '39 will have two tail lights of the "tear drop" style. The stainless trim in the photos is '40 standard. The dash will also be different from '39 to '40. Round gauges are '39, rectangle gauge cluster is '40.

wish I could find a truck that looks as good as that!! coupe is a 40, door from a fordor will fit with just a little trimming at the top.

I hope you can save both.

[oldskool]

nice projects , a 39 would have windshield wipers above on roof,i prefer the 40 std over the deluxe

[34coupe]

are you going to buy them ?

[swoopNZ]

'40 standard grilles are a lot easier to find than '39 deluxe ones.
Just call Drake.

[klicker]

It's definitely a 40 coupe, but it has a 39 grille!

[funrunr]

Nice find, what are your plans for them?

[woodburnranch]

Looks like you are a little off the beaten trail. How did you manage to stumble onto these?

[Henry Hopper]

[Mart]

[Seth Swoboda]

Did you purchase both vehicles?

[waterboychuck]

[alanwoodieman]

Wow, buy the truck for sure or let me come get it! Cool find there.

[flatheadv8]

Nice find!! Never know what you may find out in MT! What are your plans with them?

My family has a place up the boulder south of Big Timber, MT. We love it out there. Beautiful part of the country!

I think that it would be worth a road trip to get that 40! My 50 Merc came from Bismark, some nice old tin hibernating in that neck of the woods.

I belong to three Vintage stock car clubs here in Me. I'd like to have that 40 coupe, It look a little to good to make a stock out of. Walt

I found most of a 39 coupe a ways east of Bozeman. It had been placed in the bank of the Yellowstone River (for rip-rap?) Torched the top off a little below the belt line, and hauled it home for future roof patching material on a 40 Deluxe coupe that sat on its top on an Indian reservation. So, the latter will be a 40 coupe with 39 windshield wipers. That ought to confuse a few people. I sure hope the coupe contours are the same between 39 and 40!

What's the rest of the story!? What happened?! Someone buy them?
