I'm a newbie here and have a ??. Long story short, my brother moved from MN to AZ and now I am care taking a 1941 truck that I believe is a 1 1/2 ton. It has a 12' stake pocket bed which has a hydraulic lift. It is all original, the odometer reads 54k, the title is clean and the exterior body appears to be in very good condition. There is a hole in the floor board on the passenger side. It came from Montana and now resides in central Minnesota. My question is what is this truck worth? I do have photos but can't figure out how to post them. I would be happy to email them upon request. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

welcome to the forums. lots of knowledge here. i'm sure you know that, without pics, it's tough to price truck. you can't post pics until you have 25 posts. try setting up your gallery or album. then we can see what you have.

 

Petey...thanks for the welcome and for letting me know about the pic rule.

I now have photos in my garage and upon checking, the link is below my user name on my first post.

Thanks again and any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Not a '41. I'm no expert but it appears to be post war but definately not a 40 or 41 based on the grill and hood.

 

You've got a '42 there. The '41 looks different, the headlights are mounted on top of the fenders in pods, not in the grille panel, such as yours. Looks like you have a chrome emblem on the drivers side of hood, but missing the passenger side. The chrome emblem was a '42 only detail, later years had the Ford script stamped into the hood side. For the most part these trucks were identical from '42 to '47 with minor differences.

 

Thanks for both the clarification and for taking the time to explain the differences to me. Previously I had some clown try to tell me it was a '41. He went on to tell me that the title was wrong as it is listed as a '42.

With it being confirmed as a '42 and considering the attached photos, what would a fair market value be?

Thanks again for all the info!
