Hello, Have here a 1939 Ford Pickup. I bought this Truck less than a year ago with the intention of doing a “Rolling Restoration” on it and just cruising it around without breaking the Bank restoring it. Well, Plans changed after I bought a different project… So heres the low down; Truck is NOT restored and has never been restored. It has the 85HP flathead V8 that runs flawlessly. It does have a rear main seal leak. Has the three speed floor shift Transmission that jumps out of 2nd gear occasionally. It stops and steers remarkably well. Doesn’t wander all over the road. There is absolutely zero rust on the cab and front end. The bed on the other hand is in need of a bit of work. I would have to say that it is savable though. Previous owner put on new steel running boards. Only gauges that work are the oil pressure and speedometer.
I bought quite a few new part to install on it, but never did.

List of new parts: all new glass including windshield (tinted green), stainless steel mirrors (hinge mount), motor mounts, dual exhaust conversion pipes, speedway super 97 carb, electric fuel pump, blue dot tail lights and brackets, headlight conversion kit (quartz), speedway conversion bell housing to convert to a T-5 transmission with all new release shafts, fork and bearing, Low mile T-5 transmission, complete conversion clutch assy, window and inside door handles, new steel floor pan, rear main seal conversion kit with gaskets, 15×8 wire wheels that I had powdercoated Coca-Cola Red (NEAT), a used old school heater and glove box compartment.

If a person installed all these parts, rewired it and installed new rubber and weatherstripping, I’d have to say it could be driven just about anywhere you wanted to go. Truck has current registration in California. (I bought 1939 California Worlds Fair license plates for it but they are not the ones it is registered too. They just look cool)
