For Sale: 1937 Ford Pickup in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1937 Ford Pickup

We are in a day and age where both parts makers and builders are going to new heights in the automotive world. If you want to make a big splash with your vehicle, you will need to be creative and use new ideas that others have not conjured. Yes, there are a number of aftermarket companies that help us modernize these vintage haulers but you will need to add your own special touches in order to create a unique ride that will get noticed. -Thx Fuelish Media/Motor Trend.

For consignment, a unique ride one cannot help but notice in the form of a 1937 Ford pickup hot rod. A fiberglass Downs body, car styling on the front end, Boyd Coddington wheels and a snazzy paint job are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this skate. Read on my fans!

Exterior
Downs is a noted manufacturer of fiberglass reproduction bodies and this one was taken directly from Henry's drawing board to the fiberglass mold. On the way some modern interpretation was put into that design including a chopped top, more slender fenders and a customized bed and tailgate. Its original Art Deco charm is still seen with the teardrop headlights and V styled grille with horizontal ribs. These headlights are within centerfold-esque curved fenders, and the suspension has been lowered to frame the polished Boyd Coddington wheels wrapped in low profile radials. White pearlescent bathes most of the body, but some orange is highlighting the upper doors, partial on the roof back and pan to the edges of the bed and rear spoiler. A black delineation line fades in and out on the edge of the orange and white. Some tasteful silver flames begin at the grille and lick rearward along the beltline nearly going through the doors. A fiberglass bed cover is covering the bed, and on the back it has been shaved of the bumper and the fenders have been modified on the rear to gracefully melt into the back of the rear roll pan and glove fitting tailgate. Modern vertical LED taillights are frenched into the back as is a license plate holder and frame. Shiny side pipes peek out of either side of the running boards and a split rear window is on the back of the cab, again taken from the car styling of the same era. Underneath the fiberglass tonneau bed cover we see some tongue and groove flooring in stained pine and highly lacquered. Attention to detail was paid on every aspect including the sides and inside of the tailgate which is covered in stitched white vinyl with some embossed flats on the inner tailgate.

Interior
The customization continues with a full tan leather interior including the embossed flame door panels and customized billet door pulls and leather armrest. Inside modern high back buckets with oversize side bolsters sit on the floor which is covered in clean slightly darker tan carpeting. The dash top also in leather is padded and below the dash front is metal that is bathed in orange. For the gauge cluster the dash top forms an eyebrow and a cluster of white faces with orange letters and number gauges and chromed bezels is in front of the tilt-able steering column with a rally steering wheel also covered in leather. A shiny billet aluminum shifter is covered on the bottom with a leather boot. This truck has AC and the switch is masterfully hidden under the dash. Also, the doors are power latched and actuated by another hidden switch under the running board. Power windows are installed, and even the headliner is customized with an embossed flame design above also in leather.

Drivetrain
Under the V styled hood is a 350ci V8 that is shoehorned into the engine bay. It has plenty of cast and polished add ons, including a 4-barrel Edelbrock carb and intake manifold. On the back is a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear takes the power and puts it to the pavement. Headers are on for the big exhale.

Undercarriage
Perfectly preserved gray painted steel mixes with black painted coils and underneath the wood bed to create a beautiful environment for the underside. Power disc brakes are upfront, and power drums are on back. Independent suspension is on front and a 4 link with coil overs is on back. Shiny like new Turbo mufflers have that previously described side running board exit.

Drive-Ability
This truck is an eye catcher with the paint, and a true performer on the test track. Here it showed me great acceleration, solid bias free braking, and fantastic handling. The interior was very comfy and all functions worked as they should.

A not often seen 37 Ford in truck form and this one is a stunner and a runner. All fiberglass so no dents or dings two worry about as well as rust, and snappy paint, a fiberglass tonneau and a tongue and groove wood bed with a custom vinyl liner on the sides. Nothing else like it and we have 700 cars in our inventory, so if you want this one for the new year, hot rod yourself in here ASAP!
