Projects TRUE 1939 FORD TRUCK BARN FIND

HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THE BARN FIND I HAD THIS LAST WEEKEND.

THE STORY IS THIS OLD FARMER BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 1939 FOR HIS FARM. IN 1951 HE BOUGHT AN INTERNATIONAL HARVESTOR AND PARKED THE OLD FORD IN THE BARN. ITS A 1 OWNER ORIGINAL FORD

QUESTION:
WHAT SEATS FIT IN THIS TRUCK THAT LOOK ORIGINAL LIKE A BENCH SEAT?

WHAT REAR END FITS THE TRACK WIDTH AND IS AFFORDABLE FOR THIS TRUCK YEAR?

 

PICTURES NOW THAT ITS AT MY HOUSE AND CLEANED UP

 

Nice find. Have any pictures of the interior?

 

Dude. Score. Always liked those. Congrats' !

 

Congrats - how did you end up with it?

 

Welcome, have one . 8" early mustang works . There is a 38-39 tread on here

 

Wow. Hell of a find. Great looking truck. Get her running yet?
I'd guess any 35-41 seat would fit.

 

yep.....we'll hate you for awhile.....good catch !

 

That would be a fun project, good score!!

 

8.8" out of an Explorer is nearly perfect.

Wait, you didn't ask us how to wash it ?!?!?!?

 

that sure is a nice truck .

 

The barn find 39 is now in the shop getting full Heidts mustang 2 front suspension with 4 linked rear. It will have a 302 with a c4 and be on a full accuair elevel air ride suspension. I got burnt out building this 1960 Ford which I just sold to Australia. This 1939 I am keeping and having built for me. Attached is a picture of my truck that I had photoshopped so I can see how it will look when completed. I know bags are not for everyone but I suffer from altitude sickness. The shop that is building this Truck is located in Ventura California and called JG Fabricaton http://www.jgdesignandfab.com/

Finally, a genuine actual honest to goodness BARN FIND!

 

I guess you are going to bag it .? Have you seen the Mittler bro. Coils over hydraulic lift shocks ? I have a TCI under mine and love the way it handles . Nothing like a horse collar truck . Good luck , Blue

 

I love 38/39s.Nice truck!

Back about 1963 I was working in a gas station. A guy drug one of these trucks through one day and asked me if I wanted it. Being a scrounger, I accepted. Eventually I decided it was too ugly to do anything with and threw it away. That was then, things are different now...........

 

cool truck, can you steer it aired up?

 

Cool story! Nice find!

Cool truck

 

Sweet! I like it.

 

Here are some updated pics from JG Fabrication on the rear suspension and air ride set up on the 1939 Ford Barn Find truck. I'm hoping to have it on the road by Feb 2017. All of the Accuair E level sensors are hooked up and the bed is getting mounted tomorrow. I should have some pics Saturday of it looking more complete.

I went to check out my truck and was super happy with the stance! It should be on the road in February! The rear wheel wells had to be moved up and the bed was sectioned 3 inches by http://www.jgdesignandfab.com/.

 

Here is a video of the truck and suspension

 

I need the chrome center piece on the 39 grille and a rear bumper if anyone has one please let me know!

 

Sweet! Looking good.

 

Nice,too bad you won't have it at the Grand National roadster show in Jan.

 

Awesome truck

 

Congratulations, now your truck is a street rod, not a traditional hotrod. I have a 39 that I have driven every day for 17 years, It was built for the dragstrip before I got it
