1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck; Flathead V8; Floor Shift on 2040-cars

PASSES ALL MAGNET TESTS: all metal.  All door areas hold magnet (factory weld ridges;outer surfaces; underside flats that look to have a bit of fiberglass*probably just pinhole fill*).

1940 is the most popular Ford 1/2 ton pick up truck.  Unless you are diversified in your pick up truck year, style, make, model, & condition, most all antique trucks are near my price.  If you are willing to "settle" (any old shiny truck will do) a cheaper, or old bumpy/roundy styling truck of any model is all over internet & Ebay.  When you can find a 1940 or 1941 "FORD" 1/2 ton truck (non-project) for less, or equal to mine, buy/buy/buy.  The longer my truck hangs round, the more I like it.  And, the more I realize my buy it now price is market absolute  (& maybe should be higher).

NOW, onto the truck at hand:    

Runs good with the charm of its period.  No overheat, no oil burn smoke.  No start up smoke.  No valve taps.

Mostly solid minimal rust original.  Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8.  Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud.  New chrome jeweled exhaust tips.  The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely.  Fairly new tires.  The wide white wall tire inserts are just placed on for comparison/more classic look, but are due for actual install Monday.  I do have pictures with just the black walls if requested.  Most like wide whites, some don't. 

Rust free frame & over-all body.  Some minor areas need attention.  All glass is new  (both door windows roll easy ).  Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks.  Bed wood & metal retainers are good.

The interior is great with gauges working.  Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also).  One sun visor (as originally was equipped).  Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow.  Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works.  All lights & directionals work (four way also).  

This had a long time owner.  Always garaged in his ownership.  Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495.

This has an "electric" fuel pump.  The mechanical is just for display?  Wait, wait : Price will NOT go any lower.  One of the 65 watchers (6 new since 10PM last night & as of 10:22am, 5/22) could own this for a "reasonable" price if the reserve, or accept price is met ; that amount is imbedded into the "make offer" format; this format will not accept anything under that amount.  There are several "old" trucks of various makes for maybe slightly less, but not a 1940 Ford 1/2 ton that was the most popular body style & year in 1940, & most popular body style & year in 2014.  Some fluctuate in market value, but not this time period & style.
