One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

I know its a Ford, but I think everyone would appreciate this. My dad just bought it today from the Civil Engineer I used to work with, and he is the grandson of the ORIGINAL owner...how cool is that. The truck was last insured in 1977 and has been sitting ever since. It was a farm truck so it has some dents and dings, but it is all there. We got it home and its already almost ready to start disassembling.

The crack out windshield it one of the coolest things about it to me. It works too!! Also, i guess this is where the term "floorboards" came from.

Despite the "farmer" repairs, it looks solid as a rock...:metal:

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

I hope he is going to restore it and not chop it up.. Looks cool though...

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

Talk about neat; so many possibilities..I could fall in love with that project quick...

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

His plans are to restore it back to original as possible.

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

wow what a great find:metal: :metal:

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

Thats sweet my wife has been looking for a truck around the same year Im not sure if I want her to find one yet or not. I have enough trouble geting my projects done if I have to work on hers Ill never get to work on mine again.

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

Oh. My. God.

Jealous.

I wish I had that kinda luck.

If you don't mind me asking, what did he pay?

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

That is one hell of a barn find. Congrats on scoring that gem.

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

WOW!! I would be tempted to clean it up and drive that bad boy around town for a while before tearing into it!! Talk about turning heads. I love to see someone get there hands on something like this and restore it back to it's glory. You've gotta keep us posted on this, and pics too!!

Sweet I just dragged on old project out of and old guys shop too its sure neat to find the old trucks sitting peacefully in a barn or shop..

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

Somewhere between $800 and $1500. Jim, the guy my dad bought it from, is not much of a car guy and has no desire whatsoever to fix them up. He actually told my dad that he'd take $200 less than what my dad originally offered. I was shocked but my dad was happy.

Just bringingt home on the trailer it turned lots of heads. Its like they knew that we just had a barn find, haha. My dad is going to try and crank it up before he tears into it so we'll see. There wil be plenty of photos too.

Something else I found out last night is that my wifes Papa (rip) has a military jeep stashed in a shed somewhere on his property. I am going to try and get that from his wife if I can. It probably would not be too hard to get going since it's been running and operating in recent years. I almost could not sleep last night just thinking about it.

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

Great Find! :metal:

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

I'd be inclined to clean it up good, make it safe to drive, and run 'er just the way it is. There's something to be said for a true surviver!

Great Find!!

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

Nothing cooler than a barn find, no matter what make or model it is. Nice find!

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

X2 :agree:

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

What a find!!!!!!!

I guess that we'll be seeing this thing customized at a Goodguy's in a few years????

Good luck on the build!

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

Ah, haha.....yea. You'll know where it all started too.

Re: One of those "barn finds".......(1936 Ford Pickup)
 

very nice!

Litte update on this.

Got it stripped down to the frame rail at the moment. My dad pickup a 9" for it but we are still in the market for a MII frontend. We should be taking the frame to the sandblaster in the next month or two and then I'll start mocking up the suspension. The plan is to go back completely original except suspension and transmission. We would like to drive it on the Interstate safely, haha. I will get a couple photos soon.
