Hot Rods 1936 Ford Panel Truck Driven after 45 Years!

GREAT RIDE! Is that the original dash? It's different from my '36 car dash.
If that's your dads car it's all the more special!

 

Great truck!

 

I love that panel, and all panels, what year do you think that spare tire cover is, its the same type I have on mine.

 

Niiiiiice.
I'm especially diggin the custom cup holder.

 

me like.

 

THANKS for looking at my old truck,been having fun with it. will be taking it to HOTRODARAMA in a few weeks along with my 2 sons and their hot rods we built a 31 model A with a 500 caddy and a 51 chevy pickup chopped 5 inches, we all went to bonneville last year, I took my model A pickup, IT was a great thing to do with my boys! THANKS Chris

 

This thing is bad ass... I love the engine turned panel for the guages and its overall appearance. It looks good as is and will look awesome finished.
Enjoy It,
Seth

 

looks like a '36 coupe spare tire cover. Right?

 

Yes I think it is a car spare tire cover, got it at the Monroe swap meet Chris

 

Thats what I thought 35 or 6 Thanks

 

ANTNY : On the crossmember question , Yea it was as easy as it looks. that and a reverse eye spring and 4" dropped tube axle made it to low, the radius rod was only about a half an inch from the steering box mount, had to put more leaves in the spring. Chris

 

We are also looking for a pair of rear 35-37 ford panel truck rear doors to replace the existing hammered ones. Thanks Sam

 

Gotcha. Sounds like I should plan on leaving my crossmember alone then, and simply use the 4" dropped axle and reversed eye spring. I want mine lower, but not crazy low. Thanks, Chris!

 

I Like It!!!

 

pretty cool ride and has pops history with it , awesome

 

Yea: we thought it was about time to get some of these rigs running that we have had for so long(.and there are lots of them) We now are getting a 47 dodge cabover running that I last drove it to the 1977 nortwest nationals in Yakima to take to the East versus West reliability run at Vantage Wash. in september, Its the only flathead powered thing we own,will be cool to drive it agin! THANKS Chris

I don't know what iyt is but that's my new favorite 36 ford pannels truck. Great job!

 

Nothing better to see than a Father /Son project. A couple of years ago I gave my son my 51 ford truck that I had over 30 years and since it was a driver already we just did a real nice cosmetic over haul. My son was home from Afghanistain a couple of weeks ago and after 8 months of combat was ready to take the old ford out. Watching him pull it out of the shop for the first time in a couple of years was well worth all the work.

 

THANKS I have two sons that are into cars and motorcycles not drugs and alcohol thankfully! were all going to HOTRODORAMA next weekend, im taking the panel truck, my oldest son is taking a cadillac powered model A and my youngest son is taking a 51 chevy pickup that we choped 5 inches a few years ago. If you keep them in the shop, they dont have time to get in trouble!! we started a 32 sedan last fall for my youngest and hope to have it out in the spring. If you have kids, get em out in the shop... it just might save their lives!!! THANKS Chris

 

Great advise. I agree completely.

 

dad had a 37, but we never got it that far but definitely great to see another up and going!

 

THANKS; For some reason I always liked panel trucks,we have a 48 dodge panel that I have had for about 20 years now that we plan on getting running again, runnin out of space for finished cars! THANKS Chris

 

HI: Still looking for rear doors.

 

HI: Just thought id try again ,STILL NEED DOORS

 

Very cool truck! I have a 36 Sedan Delivery that I really wish was done

 

Still need rear doors!!!!! Any leads? Have 32-34 rear doors to trade thanks chris

Chris, don't know if you did this yet but put an add in the wanted section of HAMB classifieds, I have had great luck there! Maybe the Ford Barn also.
