Ford has always had a strong stake in utilitarian transport vehicle
segment, with their variety of truck options recognized the world
over. By 1935, after the full integration of the V8 engine into
every car and truck they offered, Ford continued to dominate the
competition with both style, functionality, comfort, and price! The
Model 51 pickup offered in 1935 was a unique, one-year only design.
If featured side hood panels with 15 louvers and Ford V8 badge
highlighted directly in the center, and vertical grill slats with
only two horizontal supports. They are quite attractive, and
difficult to find today in any form!
We are excited to offer this customized 1935 Ford Model 51 Pickup
finished in Midnight Blue Metallic and Bright Silver Metallic! It
retains its all original factory steel body, fenders, running
boards, and bed without any major modification! Underneath though,
it now houses some modern creature comforts to spoil the next

What really sets this truck apart is the special attention to use
the original chassis. Being form fitted to the shape of the
original body, it made sense to add rigidity by boxing the rails
and adding tubular cross members for additional support. The
original front suspension was traded for a Heidt's Mustang II
independent system utilizing chromed upper & lower control arms,
Flaming River rack & pinion steering, Aldan adjustable coil-over
shocks, sway bar, and power-assisted disc brakes. The rear consists
of a 12-bolt axle with disc brakes, QA1 adjustable coil-over
shocks, 3.31 gearing, Chassis Engineering ladder bars and upper
axle panhard bar. A new polyethylene gas tank was fitted, stainless
steel fuel lines, brained stainless hoses, and Edelbrock fuel
filter. You would be tested to find a better built street rod truck
for the money! Please call with questions or to arrange a viewing
appointment.
