    Brings back memories of growing up on our farm and working on others. I don't remember ever seeing/using a new truck, they were handed down, loaned and borrowed just like tractors, They sat in barns most of the time, used only at harvest time. No forward contracting and storage or dryers; harvest and haul. We used grain bins to store seed for the next year. We unloaded them with a grain shovel; no augers or lifts.

    Very cool truck.. A guy in Geneva Florida had one like that and he was asking 1600 dollars for it, and at the time I couldn't get that much together.. I think it had a flathead V8 in it.. Glad you made it home safely and thx for bringing us along for the ride.. take care my friend...

    You'll note that only the door on the passenger side of the cab locks. This was evidently the case on base model Ford Trucks at least through 1960. Some say it was California and other states rules that did not allow one to exit or egress from vehicles parked on roadways (parallel parking), which would place the driver in the lane of travel. Good luck. Narragansett Bay

    👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! What a cool looking truck. I hope that we will see a lot more videos about it in the near future. A lot of overhanging bed. Will you cut it for safer driving or use the truck as it is? Your great-grandfathers truck looks awesome too. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health to all of you.

    A good many of these old fords have had their engine rebuilt a time or two during their life time. Often the owner would opt for a longer stroke mercury engine of 256 ci from the 239 ford. At that time merc engines were still easy to come by. Now they are a little harder to find. Fine looking truck with the original wheat racks and a nice set of west coast mirrors. Does it have a hoist? Also got a glimpse of a 2 speed axle, vacuum or electric? Did you bleed the brakes. Quite amazing if you didn't have to. Glad you replaced the hitch instead of repair. Looks like the guy did a really good job. Gives you peace of mind on the way home. I'm in eastern Wa. Where are you located if you don't mind. Great vid.

      At least with a Dodge and Chevy you won't be in the shop as often. I mean don't get me wrong, I like Ford as well, but, from what I've seen and experienced the ones in the shop the most is Ford. Still want to get an 86 Ranger though either way. And a 67 Mustang 2+2 Fastback.

    Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
    In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
    on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!
