While adequate for the 30’s, they take some getting used to.
I believe this was a 1.5 ton model and could very well still have mechanical brakes. For $3 grand, I’d have just converted the whole thing, doofus. The neighborhood may not share those likes, and why the “widow maker” tube tires? Nobody makes a tubeless, 5 hole truck rim, and must be converted to 6 hole. I like the “twin chimney’s”, if straight pipes, I bet has a quite a bark. Can’t fool the “BarnFinds Team”, the low mileage and design, it’s clearly a repurposed fire truck. You know, it’s fun to hear the baloney, limited only by the sellers imagination. If this were yours, where would you show it off? Is there some sort of uncommon lever or button or something that would have aided in shifting? Ford fans, let me know in the comments! This truck would be an excellent addition to someone’s collection, although it’s not for everyone. I’m confused about one thing – this is supposedly a 4-speed truck but I only see 2 pedals in these photos. The door panels and dash look to be good as well. I don’t know if the seat cover is new or simply infrequently used, but it looks to be in very good shape. The interior is simple, and looks to have maintained a high degree of originality. It also states that the carb has been rebuilt, and there are new radiator hoses, a new starter, and new plugs. This Ford would have come from the factory with a 221 flathead V8 producing 85 hp and 144 lb-ft of torque, but another online listing for this truck from a few years back claims that it has a post-war era 239 flathead V8 installed, making closer to 100 hp. It has new exhaust and new tires on freshly powder-coated rims, and the livery is still vivid and readable. The seller states that it’s mostly driven to and from car shows, but I could also see this being a cool addition to a parade.

On the plus side, it appears that a new oak floor has been installed. Still, I can’t imagine that there are many miles on this original Ford.įrom bumper to bumper this 1.5-ton dually is almost 20 feet long! And it has a curb weight of close to 5,000 lbs, most of that being the extremely long bed.
The odometer shows less than 5,000 miles but we are told it doesn’t work. The seller says there is no major rust anywhere, and the photos seem to prove that. Wood was no longer used in the cab structure, which is probably one of the reasons this delivery truck has stayed in this good of condition. In addition to updated styling, 1935 Fords saw changes in construction as well. This truck is located in Hastings, New York, with bidding at the time of writing already at $18,000. This one, in particular, was used to deliver parts from the factory to the railroad depot, and is a very unusual find – especially in this condition! If you’re a fan of fun and unique vehicles, check out the listing here on eBay. Even some of the larger trucks like this 1935 Ford Express benefited from the enhanced styling.
It looks like a sweet truck, so if you’d love to have it, you can bid on it here on eBay.įrom – 1935 brought some significant styling changes to Ford, both for cars and trucks. It’s recently been relisted and it’s currently bid up to $10k. The carrier may actually have higher levels of coverage.Update – Bidding on this Ford Express reached $18,400, but apparently, the high bidder was a no-show. * If a carrier is in compliance, the amount of coverage will always be shown as the required Federal minimum ($5,000 per vehicle, $10,000 per occurrence for cargo insurance and $75,000 for bond/trust fund).
