Ran across a couple of old Ford trucks today.............

'33-'34? and a '51. They're 'for sale'. Guy wants $500 each but I'll bet you could get 'em for $300. He lives in a dilapidated trailer on a deer camp property and he's moving. I grabbed the headlights and bar off the '33 after taking the pics. Just thought I'd post 'em up here in case anyone is interested. BTW, not mine! I answered a craigslist ad for tools and spotted them in the back.

Dude... u should nab that 1st truck!!! Those cabs are hard to find & make beautiful rods! Plus... that sucker has great patina!!!

California Bay Area. I'm seriously considering picking up the '34. I'll make the decision tomorrow.

Trust me... that's a no brainer!!! I wouldn't have left that place without that it!

No brainer is an understatement.........go back immediately and grab that first one. Like Bob said, those cabs make great rods and $ 300 or $ 500 is a steal. Doors alone go for more than that.

Yes, the first one is a real deal, and a keeper. Interesting that it has a WWII army truck bed on it. It means it was running well into the late 40's/ early 50's.

Don's right! I've seen those cabs go for around $1,500 up and would love to have one myself! Shame the hood and grill are missing!

That truck looks just great! Like the others mentioned,wouldn't go home without it.

500 is a steal, I know a guy around here.. (IL area which tin cost much more here then other parts of the country), anyway he paid 3500 for a 34 cab, looks to be about the same shape

 

[donsrods]

Every year at Turkey Run we dig through the swap meet area trying to find a decent 32-34 cab. Most of the ones that do show up are all rusted out and in the $ 2500-$3500 range and sometimes don't even have doors.

I would jump on that one for $ 500 before he changes his mind.

UPDATE:
Well, I almost had it! Long story but the short version is the guy who was selling it, didn't own it! I've talked to the real owner and they're definitely not for sale. I can tell you this much, the '34 is probably gonna rot into the ground! Darn shame!
