Projects My wife's new paint delivery van

Well my wife made Christmas shopping easy this year, she mentioned she wanted a older vehicle that could haul 6 drums of paint and look cool, and something that could be easy to work on.
Within a few days I found this 1935 Ford 1 ton out of North Carolina. Most of the body work is done, however it's sat outside for so long, that some of the body filler is starting to crack. Oh well I know a good paint supplier to get more mud from.!!
Just wanted to share with you guys, and I will post more pictures the further we go along in the build.

That'll haul it, all right ... that may be the only one of those left. 500'' Cadillac power ??

 

Very Cool, just needs a little tinkering! Gary

 

That is way cool, talk about a rolling billboard! Can't be many of those around.

 

Wow that thing is cool

 

I believe you've got both of those covered.

Cool-looking truck, for sure. And the sheet metal looks pretty solid. Anxious to see the end result.

 

That thing is a monster! Make sure you upgrade the brakes to handle the load and extra power (depending on your engine choice).

Its going to be super cool.

 

Let met get this right. You live in Distilling country, and want to build something that will haul 6 "drums of paint". Got it, carry on!

 

Nice shop truck !

 

It looks like a cool delivery truck that you can write off on your taxes. Functional for work and cool advertising to boot.

 

My father has one of those, he loves it!

That'll look awesome delivering paint. Any idea for a paint color?

 

I did not realize they built a monster like that. I have looked for a late 40,s early 50,s chevy one ton long body panel. Big enough to haul a trailer { car for me , horse for the wife! } and relive my early 70's vanning days and finish the back off for camping! going to be a great shop truck! Larry

 

If I was younger I would have to have one, very nice!

 

SWEET!!!

 

Man that's a lot of metal. Very cool!

 

Cool truck.

 

Wow that thing's rad.

 

Neato!

 

Your wife is a special one. She have a sister?

Nice ride! What has been done to the windshield area? It looks like the whole thing has been moved up about 4 inches and a panel added below it and a corresponding amount removed from above the windshield.

Nice

 

awesome truck. Just put the original windshield back in it

 

Awesome! I see lots of blocking in your future...

What kind of paint does she haul?

 

nice score for sure. I was wondering about the windshield too. Maybe it was raised due to a possibly blind spot with traffic lights otherwise?

 

Damn, didn't even notice the windshield before, that's weird alright.
Good thing you get a deal on paint, the rest of us would go broke just with material costs to paint that!

 

Love the truck and your plan for it.

 

Thats one awesome ride! Can't wait to see it progress. Definitely unique and great for a business for sure.

 

that's actually a pretty cool idea for a paint shop truck.
