It's sitting on 35s now. Those are the very rare 19.5" x 5.25" Budds wearing 8-19.5" tires. They normally measure 34.5" to 35". I'd love to have it too.

This one is not a ford, but it keeps popping up on CL. The ad says it's a Jeep 4X4. I've never seen one on the road:

Well... since I already posted one non-ford, here's another... 1948 Nash camper:

Those little Jeeps were quite numerous around here when I was a kid, I think they were called "Forward Controlled". There's still a couple of them in couple of places around here. There is also a couple of Nash pickups around here like the one you posted.

I think they combined in the mid-late '50s.

On that '51 limo, Looks like the driver would have to crawl to the rear to get out! I would be a little concerned about that. maybe there is a door on the passenger side? hmmm...

Those old Hudson trucks are great!! Here's a shot of my buddy's 37.
He kind of went hogwild on the modifications of this truck.....he swapped in the big straight 8 and got rid of the 6.
