1937 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck on 2040-cars

This is a mild custom original.  Has a 50's Mercury flathead V8 with tri-power.  Converted to 12 Volts.  Also, has a 1997 S-10 five speed manual transmission which seems to be a perfect fit & easy shifting (& has a new clutch recently). 

Most else is original & well taken care of by long time owner. 

New tires have just been put on, with 16's, but bigger size in the back (spare is also new).  New electric fuel pump, but a new original type mechanical comes with it also.  It has sort of a VW horn (operated via foot button to left of clutch pedalL, but comes with a new ahooga horn. 

Starts easy & runs smooth.  New mufflers make it sound mild hum/roar.  Gauges work except for the gas gauge which needs to be calibrated to the new Ford sending unit ( I have the gentleman's name to get this done; otherwise just keep the new poly tank filled).  The lights were working but the guy I bought it from said a new switch was needed & one is supplied with purchase.  I may tinker to figure it out.  The fog lights work on a seperate switch.  There is a lighter socket plug in for a supplied handheld fan/heater (maybe defrost back-up).  It probably could be mounted for more convenience.  Truck is a hoot to drive & scoots for an old school HP.

Comes with 7 period hubcaps & 6 beauty rings.  Or, you can leave them off (see the driver side picture with all OFF; passenger side all hubcaps & beauty rings on for preferred look comparison; I prefer the hubcap & beauty ring look).  Two extra rims & I think two tires. 

Needed items eventually: minimal rust at driver door back corner & rain catcher/gutter.  Couple small bubbles on passenger door & less issue @ rain gutter.  The new light installed, as mentioned.  All the glass is excellent/new, but the driver's door roll-up glass has a crack.  It rolls up/down smoothly & is not going to fall out.  Passenger door window winds up/down smooth also. 

The bed wood looks to be original or replaced @ older restore.  It is very solid antique wood/hold down strips.  The truck underside/frame is excellent with no rust.  The hood sections were just sat on for pictures & not latched tight (usually left off for cool engine seeing).  The crank out windshield & air intake cowl port both work easily.

As can be seen, every exhaust part is new.  The doors close tight, evenly & snug with no drop in hinges or latches.

I meant to put in a picture of the bed wood, but do to limited picture loading on this format, I could not.  I can send more pictures to any email or maybe thru ebay.  The wood is aged but not rotting or need replacement. 

Has two gas caps, one regular, one locking (whichever owner prefers).  Has temperature gauge radiator cap.  The added tach works.  Also, a period dash glove box clock (would have to install; came on deluxe model?); could use new glass; I have the address of gentleman that has one & will install the new glass, free or inexpensively).
