Vehicle Description
1938 Ford One Tonner Flatbed Pickup
If you are tired of seeing the same old thing at your local car show then how about pulling up in a unique classic like this. The 1938 Ford Pickup you see here is known as a one tonner and has a flatbed in the back. The 38 Fords are unique in their own right but add in the hydraulic flatbed set up and you really have an eye catcher. The truck is extremely beautiful in person and will have anyone from any generation feeling nostalgic. Originally a truck like this would probably be restricted to the farm but turn signals and 4 way flashers have been added to make it street legal and able to cruise into town. The body is all painted Black but really the most stunning exterior feature has to be that flatbed. With all factory PTO hydraulics and pump the bed raises up and tilts towards the back. It was entirely redone to the original look and is absolutely beautiful. The support runners were done in Oak with a top layer of Long Leaf Pine that was special ordered out of Boston. The wood was purchased from a cotton seed mill and has been permanently preserved. The Ford script was then inlayed in a darker wood. The easy route would have been using a stencil and stain but no corners were cut here. A digital router was used to embed the logo into the Pine. The chrome and stainless work has a great shine and all of it is cleanly mounted place. Original style wheels are in place with 650/20 tires and the dually set up in rear.
Under the hood is the original 85hp flathead motor that starts up and drives extremely well. Based on the old work truck style of this vehicle you wouldn't expect it to drive as smoothly as it does. It has no problems rolling down the road and utilizes a 4 speed manual transmission with granny gear. The electrical system has been gone through and upgraded to 12 volt so replacement parts are much easier to find.
The interior of the truck is done in Green and has that all original look. All of the factory components grace the dash including the factory gauges which are all working except for the temperature gauge. Because of this an additional temperature gauge has been installed. The truck comes with the Deluxe heat system which is also still working properly.
You don't see many 38s up for sale and even less like this one. If you went out searching for a 38 one tonner odds are that this is the only one you will be able to find on the market. It has that ultimately American classic look and is a hit wherever it goes.
