It looks like you got yourself a great old truck. I am guessing it is a 1 Ton with a 9' bed. The truck is sitting up pretty good on the springs. Nice catch!

Very nice! $400?!? Looks pretty complete. Let's see some shots under the hood.

Is it a Canadian built? (model number on the tag inside the driver door)

Very nice. Looks like a great unmolested platform for restoration. Not really beat up for a farm truck, must have been taken care of.

model number is 1434, yes its in great shape, has couple dents in rear fenders nothing serious, and yep, its a 3800, all original, motor shot, but is 216 (2 bolt valve covers) only needs one patch for rust as far as i see atm, pass side floor, right where flat floor meets the slope. I just lucked into it, gave a coworker a ride home one day, spotted it, along with his 58 TF 2 ton, and his 54 Ford 2 ton. couple days later was teasing him, said i would give it a good home, he said make offer, so I offered him 300, he came back with 400. It was used regularly as his grain truck, then when he bought the place he is at now 11 years ago, he drove it there, parked it, it been sitting since. we pulled it out with his tractor, unloaded the back, put air into the one flat, and away she rolled. going to bring it home next weekend hopefully.
