I purchased an original operators manual for my 52 lately and inside it was an original bill of sale for a 52 F-3 pickup. It was sold from Edmands Motor Company in Minneapolis, Kansas dated April 30th, 1952 to a Clarence W. Stephens. It does not fit my 52 F-1 so if anyone is interested in an authenic bill of sale let me know. It is interesting to see original documentation and it may be more interesting to someone who either knows of this truck or has an F-3, maybe this truck is still in the family.

 

C'mon, tell us -- how much did a brand new '52 cost him???

 

Does it have a serial number on it?

And I'll guess at the price:

F-3 With Express Box with a IL6 226: $1745
V8 239 add $30
Five Star Extra Cab @ $52
Fresh Aire heater @ $65
Rear Bumper @ $10
Heavy Duty radiator @ $7
Heavy duty 3 spd Transmission @ $10
Five 7.00-17 8 ply rating, front, rear, and spare @ $45
Right had tail light @ $7

Depending on options, between $1745, and $1985!

Tax, title, dealer prep, delivery and other available options extra, truck must be take from onhand dealer stock on or before January 31, 1952. Financing available OAC.

 

Yep, old Clarence W., ………….***** we used to call him, .............remember him well.
