1942 Ford pickup

1942 Ford Other Pickups Description

I am 87 years old and it is time to get rid of some of my toys. I have owned this truck for 15 years and it still looks the same as when I bought it. No rust has appeared in the body so apparently it was a pretty solid truck to start with. The body work and paint are strictly amateur.I suspect that whoever fixed it up bought a whole new box and tail gate. Hard to imagine a truck this old with no dents in the box. I installed an old trunk in the box because we used to occasionally take overnight trips and needed a place for luggage. The truck even has the rare rear bumper. If you are not familiar with 1942 pickups, this was the first year for conventional 4 spring suspension and open drive shaft that the cars did not get until 1949. The open drive shaft made possible a modification that I love. The truck has hadan overdrive transmission installed. I have been told that the Mercury overdrives from 1949 and 1950 fit the older flathead engines. The truck will cruise all day at 60-65 MPH with no strain. They forced me to put in a mileage but I have NO IDEA what the actual mileage is. For any other questions call 352-472-6463. Florida
